laravel-formrequest-singleton

Use Laravel's excellent FormRequest as Singleton

Installation

• run composer require lextira/laravel-formrequest-singleton
• open config/app.php in your project
• replace Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\FoundationServiceProvider::class
  with Lextira\FormRequestSingleton\FoundationServiceProvider::class
• done!

Usage

All classes, which extend Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest are now instantiated as singleton.

This brings the following benefits:

• Changes done to the request by prepareForValidation() are applied only once, even if the FormRequest is used multiple times.
• The request validation is run only once, therefore especially database queries run only once.
