Cake is the latest validation project. Cake is based on "Validatio" and at all Validatio is a nice script, but the main reason to change to Cake is that Cake is 10 times faster than Validation and this is a massive increase in performance.

#Installation Just use Composer

composer require sweetcode/cake

Bugs

1. When you use aliases with the match rule it's doesn't work in the right way. #00001

How can I use Cake?

It's really simple to use.

1 - First of all create a new instance that you can use to validate your fields

$cake = new Cake;

2 - You need a array to validate. The array should follow the following pattern:

   key: <field-name>(|<field-name-alias>)
   value: array(
            key: <field-value>
            value: <field-rule>(|<field-rule>|<field-rule>(arguments)...)
        )

$fields = [
    'username'  => ['Yonas' => 'required|minlength(3)|maxlength(12)|alphanumeric'],
    'password'  => ['test' => 'required|match(repeatPassword)|minlength(4)'],
    'passwordRepeat' => ['testit' => 'required'],
    'email'     => ['test@test.com' => 'required|email']
];

3 - Now we validate the given fields.

$errorHandler = $cake->validate($fields);

4 - The Cake#validate() method returns a CakeErrorHandler instance. You can use this instance to echo out the errors.

if($errorHandler->valid()) {
    echo "No errors found.";
} else {
    var_dump($errorHandler->getErrors());
}

How can I add my own rules?

1. Method Name: rule__<your-rule-name> | Replace the <your-rule-name> with your rule name
2. Method Arguments: rule__<your-rule-name>($field, $value, $arguments) | Your rule method needs three arguments.

$field       => the field name
$value       => the given value from the field
$arguments   => the given arguments that are passed into the method

2.1) The names of the arguments doesn't matter 3. The rule method must be "public" 4. Done! - Now you can use your rule to validate fields.
