Using the objects retrieved at the time of request validation

Question

I hope the question title already answers the subject here. Lets say I have a number of ids that needs to be validated in a request.

Example:

request uri: [POST] /album/{album_id}/song

Request payload:

[
  "song_title": "hello world",
  "genre_id": 2,
  "artist_id": [100, 102],
  "lyrics_by_id": 201
]

Now, as we know we would definitely have to validate those ids, for which we run some queries over there.

Is there a way out, where we can use those objects or data retrieved from database in order to use it in the rest of the code?

Answer 1

I found a solution by doing it in this way. Don't know if it is a best practice or not.

Merging it as a request payload, in the middleware if required in a lot of places. May be it could have been done in the service provider.

Example (In Laravel):

public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next){

    $genre = Genre::findOrFail($request->get('genre_id');
    $request->add('genre', $genre);

    return $next($request);

}
