This is a validation package built to complement Laravel's included validation. 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
        }
    }
}
```
