A round of bug fixes for validation rules, install resolution, and rule overrides.
Run rules() overrides regardless of property defaults (#1187)
Properties with a default value were silently dropping rules declared in the rules() method when the property was missing from the payload, so conditional rules like required, required_if, and prohibited_if never fired. The skip in DataValidationRulesResolver was originally there to stop auto-generated rules from rejecting empty payloads on all-default data classes (#441), but it also short-circuited explicit overrides.
Overrides are now resolved upfront, and the default-value skip only applies when no override exists for that property. #[WithoutValidation] no longer suppresses an override for the same key. If you wrote rules(), you own them. Thanks @rubenvanassche.
Fix install conflict on PHP 8.4 with Pest installed (#1186)
composer require spatie/laravel-data failed when Pest was already installed, because Pest's chain pulls phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock 6.0.3 while the phpdocumentor/reflection ^6.0 meta package hard-pinned reflection-docblock ^5. The meta package is now dropped in favour of direct dependencies on the three sub-packages we use, with widened constraints:
- "phpdocumentor/reflection" : "^6.0",
+ "phpdocumentor/type-resolver" : "^1.7 || ^2.0",
+ "phpdocumentor/reflection-common" : "^2.2",
+ "phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock" : "^5.3 || ^6.0",The phpDocumentor APIs we call are identical across both majors, so no code changes are required. Thanks @rubenvanassche.
Allow float values for Min, Max and Size validation attributes (#1185)
The constructors typed their value as int|ExternalReference, and because those classes don't declare strict types, PHP silently coerced floats to int. #[Min(0.01)] became min:0, letting 0 pass validation, even though Laravel's validator accepts floats for these rules. Types are now widened to int|float|ExternalReference, mirroring MultipleOf:
#[Min(0.01), Max(99.99)]
public float $price;Digit-count rules (Digits, MinDigits, MaxDigits, DigitsBetween) and Password length stay int. Thanks @rubenvanassche.
