Symfony Console Validation
==========================

[](#symfony-console-validation)

An input validation component for Symfony Console. Ease the validation of input arguments and options.

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

[](#installation)

Include the library as dependency in your own project via:

```
composer require digitalrevolution/symfony-console-validation

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Create your own `ExampleInput` class which extends the `AbstractValidatedInput` class.
2. Configure your own `ValidationRules`. See the [Validation shorthand library](https://github.com/123inkt/symfony-validation-shorthand) for more information about the rules.
3. Ensure the `InputValidator` class is registered as [service in your Symfony project](https://symfony.com/doc/current/service_container.html).

```
use DigitalRevolution\SymfonyConsoleValidation\AbstractValidatedInput;
use DigitalRevolution\SymfonyConsoleValidation\ValidationRules;

class ExampleInput extends AbstractValidatedInput
{
    public static function getValidationRules(): ValidationRules
    {
        return new ValidationRules([
            'arguments' => [
                'email'   => 'required|string|email'
            ],
            'options' => [
                'projectId' => 'int:min:1'
]
        ]);
    }

    public function getEmail(): string
    {
        return $this->input->getArgument('email');
    }

    public function getProjectId(): ?int
    {
        $value = $this->input->getOption('projectId');

        return $value === null ? null : (int)$value;
    }
}
```

All that remains is using your `ExampleInput` class in your `Command` to validate the input.

```
class ExampleCommand extends Command
{
    public function __construct(private InputValidator $inputValidator, ?string $name = null)
    {
        parent::__construct($name);
    }

    protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output): int
    {
        // third argument will throw exception if input is invalid. Set to `false` if you want to handle the validation yourself.
        $validatedInput = $this->inputValidator->validate($input, ExampleInput::class, true);

        ...
    }
}
```

Manual invalid input handling
-----------------------------

[](#manual-invalid-input-handling)

The `validate` method will by default throw a `ViolationException`. To handle the violations yourself:

```
class ExampleCommand extends Command
{
    ...

    protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output): int
    {
        $validatedInput = $this->inputValidator->validate($input, ExampleInput::class, false);
        if ($validatedInput->isValid() === false) {
            $violations = $validatedInput->getViolations();
            ...
        }
        ...
    }
}
```
