Laravel Validation (unique rule)

i use a separate class for validation so it looks like 

class UserValidation {

    protected static $id;

    protected static $rules = [
        'email'    => 'required|email|unique:users,email,{{ self::$id }}',
        'password' => 'required|alpha_dash|min:4',
    ];

    public static function validate($input, $id)
    {
        self::$id = $id;
        return Validator::make($input, self::$rules);
    }
}

so imagine a user wants to update only his password ,so he updates it > submit but then he receive the error this email is already taken ,because laravel cant read {{ self::$id }} ,so how do i solve something like that.

This will do your trick

class UserValidation {

    protected static $rules = [
        'email'    => 'required|email|unique:users,email',
        'password' => 'required|alpha_dash|min:4',
    ];

    public static function validate($input, $id = false)
    {
        $rules = self::$rules;

        if ($id) {
            $rules['email'] .= ",$id";
        }

        return Validator::make($input, $rules);
    }
}

If you are passing an id it will appended to the rules array if not then a simple rules array will be used. I hope this is what you meant.
