WIP update - validation only provided elements #1560
Conversation
According to codeigniter4#1559 I write some code which allows to filter validationRules to that elements which are provided in $data. ---- Allows to filter validation rules to only that elements which are in $data passed to update method If you'd like to check only fields passed in $data during update just call: $this->update($your_id, $your_data, true); if there is 5 rules in your $validation_rules and only two of them in $your_data array then only that two elements will be checked in validation process if you pass true as a 3rd arg (if you don't provide it or set to false then update will check every rule as is now). Useful: i.e. you want to only update user nickname or password instead of passing all user attributes.

Oh, I've already see... in my commit there is also a code from my PR#1325 cuz I am using it more than a month. I think you can close PR#1325 and if you decide too please merge this one and only docs from PR1325. |

If the docs from 1325 belong with this, they should be part of this PR too. |

Missing user guide update? unit tests? |
|
I'd like to ask someone for help with unit tests. Have we got someone who will be able to write tests? I could make new PR ASAP with this when #1644 will be merged because probably it will be conflicted with #1644 . |

Unit test help would be me, and not for the next week too :-/ |

Allows to filter validation rules to only that elements which are in $data passed to update method
If you'd like to check only fields passed in $data during update just call:
$this->update($your_id, $your_data, true);
if there is 5 rules in your $validation_rules and only two of them in $your_data array then only that two elements will be checked in validation process if you pass true as a 3rd arg (if you don't provide it or set to false then update will check every rule as is now).
