Hi,

Is it possible to validate a field based off what another fields value is?

For instance, I need to validate that an email address is specified if the field contact_type is email.

I'm pretty sure there is no rule built in for this, but would it even be possible with a custom rule?

Possibly using Input::post() directly? (I think to myself as writing I'm this)

Otherwise I suppose I will just have write my own validation class, but I'd prefer to be able to validate a model with access to all its values.

You can do that in the validation rule.

"match_field" and "required_with" are two examples of existing validation rules that validate based on a second field value.
