PHP Validator ✔️
================

[](#php-validator-️)

**php-validator** is a package to provide server-side validations

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/f941856f996ce2fcddf8ebc514bf72c83a2aa335d95e380cde689edc56b8d150/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f417562696e6439372f7068702d76616c696461746f722e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/Aubind97/php-validator)

📖 Documentation
===============

[](#-documentation)

💿 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

**php-validator** can be installed via `composer`, just execute the following command in your project root

```
composer require aubind97/php-validator
```

Or you can add the following input in your `composer.json` file.

```
"require": {
  "aubind97/php-validator": "^1.0"
}
```

📚 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

> Make sure to use `composer` autoloading to load the package
> Be sure to add the `use` statement or add the namespace before `Validator`

Using **php-validator** in your projet is super simple, here is an example

```
$validator = (new Validator($_POST))
  ->email('email')
  ->length('firstname', 2, 100)
  ->length('lastname', 2, 100)
  ->length('nickname', 2, 100)
  ->required('email', 'firstname', 'lastname');
```

> We can validate `$_POST` or any other arrays

Then, you can check for validation like this

```
$validator->isValid();
```

If there are errors, you can get errors messages with

```
$validator->getErrors();
```

Optionnally, you can pass an associative array for parameters internationalization. The key is the attribute name you passed in the Validator constructor, the value is the translation (FR example below).

```
$validator->getErrors([
  'firstname' => 'prénom'
]);
```

### Advanced features

[](#advanced-features)

You can add a filter at the validator creation, to discard not needed arguments

```
$validator = new Validator($_POST, ['firstname', 'lastname']);
```

You can also create validator with many rules, to validate all params of a model for instance, and apply rules only is the params are in the array params given at the construction

```
$validator = new Validator($_POST, ['firstname', 'lastname'], true);
```

Finally, you can pass IETF locale for internationalization (currently supports en-US, fr-FR)

```
$validator = new Validator($_POST, ['firstname', 'lastname'], true, 'fr-FR');
```
