Laravel 9 and Livewire validation: Uniqueness validation unless updated

Question

The following validation works when creating a new record, but when updating a record, partner_code and seedgens_code get stuck in unique validation. How can I allow a record to be updated with the same value if it hasn't changed, but still verify uniqueness when the value changes?

$this->validate(
    [
        'partner_code' => 'required|unique:varieties',
        'seedgens_code' => 'required|unique:varieties',
    ],
    [
        'partner_code.required' => 'Please add a partner code.',
        'partner_code.unique' => 'Partner code must be unique.',
        'seedgens_code.required' => 'Please add a unique partner code.',
        'seedgens_code.unique' => 'SeedGens code must be unique.',
    ],
);

Answer 1

(1) protected $rules=[
    'partner_code' => ['required', Rule::unique('varieties')->ignore($id)]
    ....
]

(2) protected function rules(){
    'partner_code' => ['required', Rule::unique('varieties')->ignore($id)]
    ...
}

My adding the rule to (1) does not work I added the rule to (2) and it's working! ! !

Answer 2

'partner_code' => 'required|unique:varieties,' . $id

or

'partner_code' => ['required', Rule::unique('varieties')->ignore($id)]

Where $id is the ID you want to ignore.
