Feature request: validation rules

[aricooperdavis]

It would be quite nice to include validation rules that could be used in form validations to validate appropriate JSON representations of each class.

For example, we could then validate requests using:

use MatanYadaev\EloquentSpatial\Rules\Point;
 
$request->validate([
    'location' => ['required', new Point],
]);

rather than having to do it manually, such as:

$request->validate([
    'location' => ['required', 'array:type,coordinates'],
    'location.type' => ['required', 'in:Point'],
    'location.coordinates' => ['required', 'array:0,1'],
    'location.coordinates.0' => ['required', 'numeric', 'min:-90', 'max:90'],
    'location.coordinates.1' => ['required', 'numeric', 'min:-180', 'max:180'],
]);

Unless I'm being a bit thick and can do it more easily than this?

Hi @aricooperdavis, sounds cool. Can you submit a PR?

[aricooperdavis]

Actually, perhaps this is out of scope for this package, as it's already implemented here: https://github.com/yucadoo/laravel-geojson-rule ?

@aricooperdavis It is kind of out of scope for this package, because it is focused on Eloquent. But I'm open to new ideas. Thanks. :)
