1.0 Introduction
----------------

[](#10-introduction)

This library provides a simple way to validate an input array against a set of rules. Input could come from $\_POST or any other data source.

Each field can have its own label, pre-filters and rules applied to it. Rules extend a very simple interface, making adding custom rules very easy. The Validator object itself can be executed multiple times against different datasets, making it very useful for processing dynamic data.

Additionally, validation rules can be generated for client side scripts. Currently only jQuery Validate is supplied but additional interfaces can be added easily.

2.0 Examples
------------

[](#20-examples)

```
use HybridLogic\Validation\Validator;
use HybridLogic\Validation\Rule;

$validator = new Validator();
$validator
	->set_label('name', 'first name')
	->set_label('email', 'email address')
	->set_label('password2', 'password confirmation')
	->add_filter('name', 'trim')
	->add_filter('email', 'trim')
	->add_filter('email', 'strtolower')
	->add_rule('name', new Rule\MinLength(5))
	->add_rule('name', new Rule\MaxLength(10))
	->add_rule('email', new Rule\MinLength(5))
	->add_rule('email', new Rule\Email())
	->add_rule('password', new Rule\Matches('password2'))
;

if($validator->is_valid($_POST)) {
	print_r($validator->get_data());
} else {
	print_r($validator->get_errors());
}
```

More detailed examples can be found in ./examples.
