  Custom Validation Rules
  

  
  
  

  For business-specific needs, Laravel allows you to define custom rules:

  
  
  

  php artisan make:rule CustomEmailRule

  
  
  

  public function passes($attribute, $value) {

  
  
  

  $domainPart = explode('@', $value)[1] ?? null;

  
  
  

  return $domainPart && $domainPart != 'example.com';

  
  
  

  }
