Pass variable from controller to $rules

[jonaholsson]

How would one pass a value from my controller to the model and $rules attribute like below?

protected $rules = [
    ....
    'username' => 'required|unique:users,username,NULL,id,tenant_id,'.$this->tenant_id
];

The following works in the controller, but replaces the entire rules set in the model (and is not as flexible)

$myModel->setRules([
    'username' => required|unique:users,username,NULL,id,tenant_id,'.$this->tenant_id
]);

you can do it like this

public function setTenantIdAttribute($value){
    $this->rules['username'] = 'required|unique:users,username,NULL,id,tenant_id,' . $value;
    $this->attributes['entity_id'] = $value;
}

I can see the need for there to be a better solution than this, I'll take a look into it for a future version.

Nice solution @nicolaslopezj! Didn't think of using setAttribute.. Thanks!

Oh sorry, it looks like that feature was removed from the Laravel 5 branch. Please create a new issue for that, as it is different to the topic of this issue.
