By default, Laravel's email validation does not fail on invalid email, eg 'example@example'.
$data = ['email' => 'example@example'];
$rules = ['email' => 'email'];
$v = Validator::make($data, $rules); // success
This would be ok, but it should be default:
$data = ['email' => 'example@example'];
$rules = ['email' => 'email:filter'];
$v = Validator::make($data, $rules); // fails
How can I set default e-mail validation policy?
Laravel version is 7.
I don't think you can override the existing rules, but instead you can try adding new ones in app/providers/AppServiceProvider.php
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function boot(): void
{
\Validator::extend('email_default', function ($attribute, $value) {
return filter_var($value, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) !== false;
});
}
}
Laravel 7 relies on the egulias/EmailValidator package for email validation. By default, the email rule is a shorthand for email:rfc. That's why using the stricter email:filter can catch invalid domain addresses.
You can introduce a new rule, but this does not solve the email problem - instead of creating a new rule, you can already use email:filter.
There is no way to override it directly. You could issue a patch for Laravel 7 that modifies the relevant part of the ValidatesAttributes file I quoted earlier.
Composer doesn't support this out of the box, but the cweagans/composer-patches package adds this capability.
composer require cweagans/composer-patches:~1.0
(A 2.x already requires PHP 8 support. Docs for 1.x: README.md)
composer.json
{
"require": {
"laravel/framework": "^7.30.7",
"cweagans/composer-patches": "^1.0"
},
"extra": {
"patches": {
"laravel/framework": {
"change-validation-email-default": "patches/laravel-framework-7-change-validation-email-default.patch"
}
}
}
}

The settings will be applied automatically when running composer install, or you can apply them manually using the (1) composer patches-relock and (2) composer patch:reapply command.
Note: If the Laravel 7 ValidatesAttributes class ever receives an update, the patch file will need to be recreated. The simplest way is by using the git --diff command, or by creating a fork where you commit your modification, and when viewing that commit you can append .patch to the end of the URL.
Note: The patch file included in the answer was created after the 2021-12-06 commit, so it is valid for v7.30.6 and v7.30.7. (v7.30.6 also contained updates for the ValidatesAttributes class)
And then this way the email rule will point to email:filter instead of email:rfc.
composer install.
