One of the main benefits of this package is a separate file houses the reusable rules for validation. Install ------- [](#install) ``` $ composer require browner12/validation ``` Setup ----- [](#setup) Add the service provider to the providers array in `config/app.php`. ``` 'providers' => [ browner12\validation\ValidationServiceProvider::class, ]; ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Use Artisan to generate a new validator. ``` php artisan make:validator UserValidator ``` Validators extend the abstract `browner12\validation\Validator`, which contains all of the methods necessary to perform validation. The only thing you need to define are your rules. For example, if you have a 'Product' model, you could create a `ProductValidator`. While they *can* be placed anywhere that can be autoloaded, a good suggestion is `app/Validation`. ``` namespace App\Validation; class ProductValidator extends Validator { protected static $store = [ 'name' => 'required', 'price' => 'required|int', ]; protected static $update = [ 'name' => 'required', 'price' => 'required|int', ]; } ``` As you can see, validators can contain multiple rule sets. To use the validator, create a new `Validator` object, or use dependency injection (DI is used in the example). Pass in the data to be validated and the name of the rule set to use. A good place to handle the validation is in a dedicated class (sometimes referred to as a Service) so it can be reused throughout the site. ``` namespace App\Services; use App\Validation\ProductValidator; use browner12\validation\ValidationException; class ProductService { /** * constructor * * @param \App\Validation\ProductValidator $validator */ public function __construct(ProductValidator $validator) { $this->validator = $validator; } /** * store product * * @param array $input * @throws \browner12\validation\ValidationException */ public function store(array $input) { if ($this->validator->isValid($input, 'store')) { //data is good, save to storage return true; } throw new ValidationException('Storing a product failed.', $this->validator->getErrors()); } } ``` Finally, your controller will call the service, and handle any errors that are thrown. ``` use App\Services\ProductService; use browner12\validation\ValidationException; class ProductController { /** * constructor */ public function __construct(ProductService $service) { $this->service = $service; } /** * store */ public function store() { try { $data = [ 'name' => $_POST['name'], 'price' => $_POST['price'], ]; $this->service->store($data); } catch (ValidationException $e){ //handle the exception } } } ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently.
