Laravel Validation - How to check if a value exists in a given array?
<p>So, okay i tried a lot of rules from validation docs but all give me same error saying</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Array to string conversion</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Here is how I add the array:</p>

<pre><code>$this-&gt;validate($request,[
                'employee' =&gt; 'required|in:'.$employee-&gt;pluck('id')-&gt;toArray(),
            ],[
                'employee.in' =&gt; 'employee does not exists',
            ]);
</code></pre>

<p>Any hint on how to achieve this?</p>

<p><strong>i created a custom validator</strong> but still passing array seems to be not possible</p>
