Validation

The package ships ready-made form requests and two reusable validation rules.

Form requests

MetadataRequest and OpenGraphRequest validate incoming payloads against the DTO shapes. Type-hint them in a controller and pass the validated data straight to the services:

use OiLab\OiLaravelMetadata\Data\MetadataData;
use OiLab\OiLaravelMetadata\Http\Requests\MetadataRequest;
use OiLab\OiLaravelMetadata\Facades\Meta;

public function update(MetadataRequest $request, Page $page)
{
    Meta::update($page, MetadataData::from($request->validated()));

    return back();
}

MetadataRequest rules cover title, description, keywords (array of strings), author, copyright, language (via IsoLanguageRule), revisit_after, robots and googlebot (via RobotsRule).

OpenGraphRequest rules cover type, title, description, url, and the nested image.url / image.width / image.height.

The IsoLanguageRule

Validates that a value is a plausible ISO 639-1 language code, optionally with an ISO 3166-1 region suffix.

use OiLab\OiLaravelMetadata\Rules\IsoLanguageRule;

$request->validate([
    'language' => ['required', new IsoLanguageRule],
]);

The RobotsRule

Validates a comma-separated list of recognised robots directives — including parameterized ones like max-snippet:-1.

use OiLab\OiLaravelMetadata\Rules\RobotsRule;

$request->validate([
    'robots' => ['required', new RobotsRule],
]);

Recognised bare directives: index, noindex, follow, nofollow, all, none, noarchive, nosnippet, noimageindex, notranslate, nocache. Recognised parameterized directives: max-snippet, max-image-preview, max-video-preview, unavailable_after.

Both rules are standalone — use them anywhere, not just in the bundled form requests.
