Freeze when using recursive data annotations about laravel-data

[rubenvanassche]

Yeah it is a circular loop, something validation rules generation doesn't like 😄

[jhorie]

class Item extends Data {
  public function __construct(
    public int $item_id,
    public int $quantity,
    public ?Item $subItem) {}
}

This is also giving the same timeout. Looks like nesting same class gives you a timeout.

This timeout is only happening when using Item data class injection in a method of a controller. So like this:

class AppController extends Controller {
  public function sendOrder(Item $item) {

  }
}

When using the following, it works great:

class AppController extends Controller {
  public function sendOrder() {
    $item = Item::from(request()->all());
  }
}

This is also true for Azeirah, she is my collegue.

This is impossible because we cannot know how deep we should generate validation rules, I've added a section in the docs describing it:

laravel-data/docs/as-a-data-transfer-object/request-to-data-object.md

Line 575 in b8a0efd

## Validation and nesting or collecting the same class

@rubenvanassche is this also impossible for a many to many relationship? I have an InvoiceData class which has a DataCollectionOf(TransactionData::class), and the TransactionData class also has a DataCollectionOf(InvoiceData::class). Currently, I get a timeout/memory leak when I run InvoiceData::getValidationRules();
