HylianShield Validator PCRE
===========================

[](#hylianshield-validator-pcre)

This package extends the HylianShield Validator and implements a PCRE expression validator.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

No additional configuration required

Expression
----------

[](#expression)

The package exposed an Expression entity, which tests if the given pattern is a valid PCRE pattern and then proceeds to store that pattern.

```
$expression = new \HylianShield\Validator\Pcre\Expression('/foo/');

echo $expression->getPattern(); // "/foo/"
```

Expression Validator
--------------------

[](#expression-validator)

The expression validator extends the expression entity and implements the validator interface.

```
$validator = new \HylianShield\Validator\Pcre\ExpressionValidator('/foo/');

echo $validator->getPattern(); // "/foo/"
echo $validator->getIdentifier(); // "pcre(/foo/)"

$validator->validate('foo'); // true
$validator->validate('bar'); // false
```
