Validate
========

[](#validate)

A sample data validation library. The goal was to create a data validation library as a composer module. This was a test requested by Mobile X Co.

Installing
----------

[](#installing)

This library can be installed with composer. To get composer:

```
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

```

Add this to your composer.json file.

```
{
    "require" : {
        "denis/validate": "dev-master"
    }
}

```

Then run composer install.

```
php composer.phar install

```

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

The schema is supplied in json format to the parse method. The isValid method is then called which returns a json response. The response will indicate if the data string is valid compared to the schema provided. If there are errors they will be in the response.

```
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use MobileXCo\Validate;

$validate = new Validate();

$validate->parse($schema);

$result = $validate->isValid($data);

```

Data types supported
--------------------

[](#data-types-supported)

- string (A string)
- int (An integer)
- email (Must be a string. Example "")
- date (Must be a string. Example "2014-09-13")

Extra constraints
-----------------

[](#extra-constraints)

Elements can be marked as required by adding the required parameter. Type string and int can have a min and max length.

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

Schema Example
--------------

[](#schema-example)

```
{
    "id": {
        "type": "int",
        "required": true
    },

        "type": "string",
        "min": 5,

    "description": {

        "max": 50
    },
    "price": {
        "type": "int",
        "min": 1
    },
    "orderOn": {
