Pass the id to the validator and than you can use it that way:
public function rules()
{
return array(
'username' => 'required|alpha_dash|max:255|unique:users,username,'.$this->id.',user_id',
);
}
If you are wondering about the function syntax, take a look at validation as a service: http://culttt.com/2013/07/29/creating-laravel-4-validation-services/
