Installation
============

[](#installation)

Execute composer command.

```
composer require dsa-io/csv-validator:1.*

```

Register the service provider in app.php

```
'providers' => [
    ...Others...,
    Dsaio\CsvValidator\CsvValidatorServiceProvider::class,
]

```

Also alias

```
'aliases' => [
    ...Others...,
    'CsvValidator' => Dsaio\CsvValidator\Facades\CsvValidator::class,
]

```

Basic usage
===========

[](#basic-usage)

```
$csv_path = 'test.csv';
$rules = [
    0 => 'required',
    1 => 'required|integer',
    2 => 'required|min:4'
];
$csv_validator = CsvValidator::make($csv_path, $rules);

if($csv_validator->fails()) {
    $errors = $csv_validator->getErrors();
}

```

Rules
=====

[](#rules)

You can set keys instead of indexes like so.

```
$rules = [
    'First Name' => 'required',
    'Last Name' => 'required',
    'Email' => 'required|email'
];

```

In this case, the heading row of the CSV need to have `First Name`, `Last Name` and `Email`.
And This keys will be used as attribute names for error message.

- [See](https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/validation#available-validation-rules) the details of the rules.

Trimming
========

[](#trimming)

You can set the 3rd argument a boolean value. If it is set to true, it will trim the cells of the csv. (Default: true)

```
CsvValidator::make($csv_path, $rules, true, 'SJIS-win');

```

Encoding
========

[](#encoding)

You can set a specific encoding as the 4th argument. (Default: UTF-8)

```
CsvValidator::make($csv_path, $rules, 'SJIS-win');

```

Error messages
==============

[](#error-messages)

You can get error messages after calling fails().

```
$errors = $csv_validator->getErrors();

foreach ($errors as $row_index => $error) {

    foreach ($error as $col_index => $messages) {

        echo 'Row '. $row_index .', Col '.$col_index .': '. implode(',', $messages) .'';

    }

}

```

Exception
=========

[](#exception)

If the validator is expecting a heading row (i.e it receives an associative rules array) and the CSV is empty, an exception will be thrown.
