Why to use?
-----------

[](#why-to-use)

Using Symfony validator with annotations or configuration (yml or xml) is just fine, but for simple cases, eg: validation of argument methods and throw exception is too verbose.

Eg:

### Symfony way

[](#symfony-way)

```
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Validation;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Type;

class Test {
    public function getByName($name)
    {
        $violations = Validation::createValidator()->validateValue(
            $name,
            new Type(array('type' => 'string'))
        );

        if (count($violations) != 0) {
          throw new \InvalidArgumentException((string) $violations);
        }
    }
}
```

### EBTValidator way

[](#ebtvalidator-way)

```
use EBT\Validator\ValidatorBasicExtended;

class Test {
    public function getByName($name)
    {
        if (!ValidatorBasicExtended::isTypeString($name)) {
            throw new \InvalidArgumentException(ValidatorBasicExtended::getViolationsAsShortString());
        }
    }
}
```

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 5.3.3

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

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install is through composer.

Just create a `composer.json` file for your project:

```
{
    "require": {
        "ebidtech/validator": "@stable"
    }
}
```

**Tip:** browse [`ebidtech/validator`](https://packagist.org/packages/ebidtech/validator) page to choose a stable version to use, avoid the `@stable` meta constraint.

And run these two commands to install it:

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

Now you can add the autoloader, and you will have access to the library:

```
