This is a simple and convenient PHP validator. It can be used to validate form input, API requests, and any other data that needs to be validated before being processed.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1

Installation

composer require rnr1721/le7-validator

Testing

composer test

Usage

First you need to create an instance of the validator:

use Core\Utils\ValidatorFactory;

$validatorFactory = new ValidatorFactory();
$validator = $validatorFactory->getValidator();

Then you need to define validation rules for each field:

Method setFullRule can take three arguments:

• Field - Field (key) for validate.
• Value - Data to validate
• Rules - Validation rules
• Label - Human-like name of field. It uses for get errors

$validator->setFullRule('login', 'john', 'required|minlength:3|maxlength:5', 'Login');
$validator->setFullRule('email', 'admin@example.com', 'required|email', 'User email');
$validator->setFullRule('age', 35, 'min:22|max:55', 'User age');

And finally, you can check:

if ($validator->validate()) {
    // Validation success
} else {
    // Validation not success
    $errors = $validator->getMessages();
}

minlength:3|maxlength:10|numeric

• required: The field must be filled
