Welcome to PHPValidate!
You have some input data to validate but you don't want to grab the huge libraries to validate them? Well here is the solution, PHPValidate is a very light libraries that allows you to validate simple data and enables you to create custom constraint at any time! Come on give it a try!
Installation
composer require inani/phpvalidate Usage
Feed the Validator with the array data to verifies
$validator = new Validator([ 'name' => 'Inani El Houssain']);Build your Rules
// Only if required and without length greater or equal than 10 characters
$validator->addRule(( new Rule('name'))->required()->min(10));Check the rules
$bool = $validator->check();Get the errors list
// get the errors of the name field, all the fields if not specified
$validator->getErrors('name');Available rules
| rule | README |
|---|---|
| required | Field not empty |
| min | The minimum characters |
| max | The maximum number of characters |
| number | the input should be a numeric value |
Custom Constraints
Every custom rule should extends the CustomConstraint Class and implements the two methods, for instance creating a rule that validates an email field:
<?php
use Inani\PHPValidate\CustomConstraint;
class ShouldBeAnEmail extends CustomConstraint
{
/**
* Check if the field is Required
*
* @param null $value
* @return bool
*/
public function isValid($value = null)
{
if(!filter_var($value, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
$this->errorFound();
return false;
}
return true;
}
public function getError()
{
return "This is not a valid email";
}
}And its usage is as simple as injecting the Rule in the rules array like this :
$validator->addRule(( new Rule('email'))->required()->inject(new ShouldBeAnEmail));
