The make:request command can be used to generate new request validation request classes. The command accepts a name for the newly created request class. The name will be used as the name of the class and the file.

The following example demonstrates how to call the make:request command:

1# Generate a new form request validation request class.
2php artisan make:request StoreDrinksPostRequest

A new app/Http/Requests/StoreDrinksPostRequest.php file would be created and contain contents similar to the following:

 1<?php
 2 
 3namespace App\Http\Requests;
 4 
 5use App\Http\Requests\Request;
 6 
 7class StoreDrinksPostRequest extends Request
 8{
 9    /**
10     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
11     *
12     * @return bool
13     */
14    public function authorize()
15    {
16        return false;
17    }
18 
19    /**
20     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
21     *
22     * @return array
23     */
24    public function rules()
25    {
26        return [
27            //
28        ];
29    }
30}

The make:request command is also capable of generated namespaced classes. Accomplish this by separating namespace sections using the \ when supplying the request name. A nested directory will be created and the correct namespace will be set on the generated class.
