How can I access Laravel 5.1 validation rules

How can I access all the methods that Laravel 5.1 provides us for validation. For example I have made custom request with artisan command php artisan make:request EventRequest in that file there is a public function rules(){ return[]; } in that function yo can specify html attributes names and the validation rules that you need. How can I access these validation rules(path to these rules). Please note that I don't want to make custom validation rules I have to access existing ones.

I'm sure you're already aware of the documented list of available validation rules.

If you just want to access the code that is used to evaluate those rules: in Laravel 5.1, these built-in rule names are mapped to methods defined directly on the Validator class. (You can also check the API reference for that class)

For example, 'digits_between' will eventually use the validateDigitsBetween() method on that class. However, since those are protected methods, you can't call them directly yourself. You have to use Validator::make($request, $rules). See the docs on this.

(In Laravel 5.6, these methods are on a trait called ValidatesAttributes. So if for whatever reason you wanted to use them directly, you could just use that trait on your class.)

In your controller replace the Request with your validation namespace probably like this App\Http\Requests\EventRequest so it should look like this.

from

public function store(Request $requests)
{
   // code here
}

to 

public function store(App\Http\Requests\EventRequest $requests) 
{
   // code here
}

or else you can use your validation namespace like so

use App\Http\Requests\EventRequest;

SomeControllerClass extends Controller { 
    public function store(EventRequest $requests) 
    {
       // code here
    }
}

Hope that helps.
