17,942 PointsLaravel Validation Error
Hello! My code looks like this:
public function store(Request $request)
{
//define rules
$rules = array(
'title' => array('required', 'unique:todo_lists')
);
//pass input to validator
$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);
//test if input is valid
if($validator->fails()) {
return redirect()->route('todos.create');
}
$name = $request->get('title');
$list = new \App\TodoList();
$list->name = $name;
$list->save();
return redirect()->route('todos.index');
}
and I'm getting the following error:
FatalErrorException in TodoListController.php line 51: Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Validator' not found
I tried adding \App\ to the Validator, and I checked my app.php to see if the aliases was there - it was... Any ideas? Thanks!

17,942 PointsFigured it out. Basically, I couldn't use a double array inside the $rules. So, I changed it to $rules = array(
'title' => 'required', 'unique:todo_lists'
);
Also needed to add, use Validator; and use Input; to the top of my TodoListController.php.

17,942 PointsSorry about the formatting - the backticks aren't working for me.
