README

The Validate class offers a robust and flexible way to handle validation logic in your PHP applications. This class simplifies and centralizes validation rules, making your code cleaner and more maintainable.

Features

• Simplified Code: Reduce boilerplate and repetitive validation logic.
• Centralized Validation Rules: Manage all your validation logic in one place.
• Improved Readability: Declarative syntax for clearer, more maintainable code.
• Extensible: Easily add new validation rules as needed.

Before and After

Before Manual validation logic often leads to repetitive code:

if (empty($_POST['username'])) {
    $errors[] = 'Username is required.';
} elseif (strlen($_POST['username']) < 3) {
    $errors[] = 'Username must be at least 3 characters long.';
} elseif (strlen($_POST['username']) > 20) {
    $errors[] = 'Username cannot exceed 20 characters.';
}

After Using the Validate class streamlines the process:

$validate = new Validate();

$validationResult = $validate->check($_POST, [
    'username' => [
        Validate::REQUIRED => ['message' => 'Username is required.'],
        Validate::MIN => ['min' => 3, 'message' => 'Username must be at least 3 characters long.'],
        Validate::MAX => ['max' => 20, 'message' => 'Username cannot exceed 20 characters.'],
    ],
]);

if ($validate->isValid()) {
    // Proceed with processing
} else {
    $errors = $validate->getErrors();
    // Handle validation errors
}
