Is it possible to access the $request variable inside the Request class in Laravel?

When i make a validation inside the Controller like in the following Laravel example:

Validator::make($request->all(), [ 'credit_card_number' => 'required_if:payment_type,cc' ]);

I can easily access the $request because I’m inside the controller method. However, I’ve noticed that using custom Request classes is considered a best practice in Laravel. I have a question regarding this: Is it possible to access the request variable inside the Request class?

    Yes it is possible , and it is simple to access request inside Request class.

    Your Request class :

     public function rules()
{
    $paymentType1 = $this->request->input('payment_type');
    //OR 
    $paymentType2 = $this->input('payment_type');

    return [
        'credit_card_number' => 'required_if:payment_type,cc',
    ];
}
