A wrapper around the [Respect Validation](https://github.com/Respect/Validation) PHP validation library for easier error handling and display

> This project was originally designed to be used with the Micro-Framework "Slim", hence the name "Slim Validation", but can now be used in any other PHP project.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require awurth/slim-validation
```

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

- [**5.x**](https://github.com/awurth/SlimValidation/tree/5.x/docs) (current, PHP >= 8.1)
- [**3.4**](https://github.com/awurth/SlimValidation/tree/3.x/docs) (outdated, PHP >= 7.1)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The following example shows how to validate that a string is at least 10 characters long:

```
use Awurth\Validator\Validator;
use Respect\Validation\Validator as V;

$validator = Validator::create();
$failures = $validator->validate('Too short', V::notBlank()->length(min: 10));

if (0 !== $failures->count()) {
    // Validation failed: display errors
    foreach ($failures as $failure) {
        echo $failure->getMessage();
    }
}
```

The `validate()` method returns a list of validation failures as an object that implements [`ValidationFailureCollectionInterface`](src/ValidationFailureCollectionInterface.php). If you have lots of validation failures, you can filter them with a callback:

```
use Awurth\Validator\ValidationFailureInterface;

$failures = $validator->validate(/* ... */);
$filteredFailures = $failures->filter(static function (ValidationFailureInterface $failure, int $index): bool {
    return $failure->getRuleName() === 'notBlank';
});
```
