Field required but can accept empty string

[soubhikchatterjee]

Is it possible to validate a field to make the key mandatory but allow empty string in it?

The required validation does check for the existence of a key but does not allow empty values.

Am i missing something here?

Thanks in advance.

For example Laravel has a present rule for this scenario that is very useful: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/validation#rule-present
