Heimdall Validator was inspired by Laravel and Symfony validators. It receives an associative array with data and another associative array with the desired validation rules. This package does not throw exceptions or block any request. Instead, it returns a **Heimdall object** that lets you check validation results using `$validate->passes()` or `$validate->fails()`, and access detailed error messages with `$validate->errors()`. Examples are provided below. Index ----- [](#index) - [Requirements](#requirements) - [Installation](#installation) - [How to Use](#how-to-use) - [Available Methods](#available-methods) - [Available Rules](#available-rules) Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.0+ (not tested on older versions) - No external dependencies.
