Livewire: Declare form validation rules once

[tanthammar]

I would like to declare form validation rules only once
This does not work.

protected $rules;

    public function mounted() {

        $this->rules = [
            'first_name' => 'required|between:3,50',
            'last_name' => 'required|between:3,75',
            'type' => [
                      'required', 
                      Rule::in(['COMPANY', 'PRIVATE'])
            ],
            'company' => 'nullable|between:3,70',
            'email' => 'required|email:rfc,dns,spoof|unique:leads',
            'phone' => 'required|phone_number',
            'message' => 'required|between:10,70',
        ];
    }

    public function updated($field)
    {
        $this->validateOnly($field, $this->rules);
    }

    public function submit()
    {
        $validatedData = $this->validate($this->rules);
    }

Make a method called "->getRules()" that returns that rules array and use it where you need to.

And thanks for sponsoring!

Also, that doesn't work because protected properties are not persisted between requests.
