Symfony Validation Shorthand
============================

[](#symfony-validation-shorthand)

A validation shorthand component for Symfony, similar to the syntax in the "illuminate/validator" package for Laravel.

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

[](#installation)

Include the library as dependency in your own project via:

```
composer require "digitalrevolution/symfony-validation-shorthand"

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

**Example**

```
$rules = [
    'name.first_name' => 'required|string|min:5',
    'name.last_name'  => 'string|min:6',                     // last name is optional
    'email'           => 'required|email',
    'password'        => 'required|string|between:7,40',
    'phone_number'    => 'required|regex:/^020\d+$/',
    'news_letter'     => 'required|bool',
    'tags?.*'         => 'required|string'                   // if tags is set, must be array of all strings with count > 0
];

// transform the rules into a Symfony Constraint tree
$constraint = (new ConstraintFactory)->fromRuleDefinitions($rules);

// validate the data
$violations = \Symfony\Component\Validator\Validation::createValidator()->validate($data, $constraint);
```

Validates:

```
[
    'name'         => [
        'first_name' => 'Peter',
        'last_name'  => 'Parker'
    ],
    'email'        => 'example@example.com',
    'password'     => 'hunter8',
    'phone_number' => '0201234678',
    'news_letter'  => 'on',
    'tags'         => ['sports', 'movies', 'music']
]
