Laravel Fluent Validation

Write Laravel validation rules with IDE autocompletion instead of memorizing string syntax. Each rule type exposes only the methods that apply to it: FluentRule::string() won't offer digits(), FluentRule::date() won't offer mimes(). each() and children() keep parent and child rules in one place instead of scattered across dot-notation keys. For large arrays, the HasFluentRules trait makes wildcard validation up to 160x faster.
