Validation

Validation

A simple but powerful Validation Engine, in a Laravel-esque style.

Its Validation Rules and the basic usage are similar with Illuminate\Validation v4.x, but no Files Validation support.

To note that it use the new Database API for verification of data presence into Database. Then, if you use this Validation, is a must to use also the new Database API in the entire application, and NOT the variant given by Helpers\Database.

Also to note that for the translation of error messages, it use the new Language API.

The Validation usage is simple, as in the following example:

use Validator;

$data = array(
    ‘username‘ => ‘michael‘,
    ‘password‘ => ‘password‘,
    ‘email‘    => ‘[email protected]‘
);

$rules = array(
    ‘username‘ => ‘required|min:3|max:50|alpha_dash|unique:users‘,
    ‘password‘ => ‘required|between:4,30‘,
    ‘email‘    => ‘required|email|max:100|unique:users‘,
);

$validator = Validator::make($data, $rules);

if ($validator->passes()) {
    echo ‘<h3>Data validated with success!</h3>‘;

    echo ‘<pre>‘ .var_export($data, true) .‘</pre>‘;
} else {
    $errors = $validator->errors()->all();

    echo ‘<pre>‘ .var_export($errors, true) .‘</pre>‘;
}
