Laravel Timestamp Validation

I want to make sure that the receiving data is a valid timestamp. is there a way to make sure starts_at and expired_at fields are timestamps?

$rules = [
    'user_id' => 'required|int|exists:users,id',
    'starts_at' => 'required|int|min:1',
    'expires_at' => 'required|int|gt:starts_at',
];

    You can define the multi-format date validation in your AppServiceProvider

    class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider  
{
  public function boot()
  {
    Validator::extend('new-format', function($attribute, $value, $formats) {

      foreach($formats as $format) {

        $parsed = date_parse_from_format($format, $value);

        // validation success
        if ($parsed['error_count'] === 0 && $parsed['warning_count'] === 0) {
          return true;
        }
      }

      // validation failed
      return false;
    });
  }
}

    Now you can use the custom validation rule:

    'starts_at' => 'new-format:"Y-m-d H:i:s.u","Y-m-d"'

    You can use the date rule when validating timestamp. Then if you want to compare the two dates you can use the before and after rule.

    $rule = [
    'starts_at' => 'date',
    'expired_at' => 'date|after:starts_at',
]
