[](#a-zod-inspired-validation-and-filter-framework-written-in-php)

 [Key Features](#key-features) • [How To Use](#how-to-use) • [Credits](#credits) • [Related](#related) • [License](#license)

Key Features
------------

[](#key-features)

- **Zod-inspired API:** Familiar, fluent interface for schema definitions, validation, and filtering.
- **Composable schemas:** Build complex validators from primitives and custom rules.
- **Extensible:** Easily extend with your own filters and validation logic.
- **Zero dependencies:** Lightweight and easy to integrate.

How To Use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require nebalus/sanitizr
```

### Basic Example

[](#basic-example)

```
use Nebalus\Sanitizr\SanitizrStatic as S;

// Define a schema
$userSchema = S::object([
    'name' => S::string()->min(1),
    'email' => S::string()->email(),
    'age' => S::int()->min(0)->optional(),
]);

// Define input
$input = [
    'name' => 'Alex',
    'email' => 'alex@example.com',
];

$result = $userSchema->safeParse($input);

if ($result->isValid()) {
    $user = $result->getValue();
    // Use sanitized data
    echo $user["name"]; // Outputs: Alex
    echo $user["email"]; // Outputs: alex@example.com
} else {
    $errorMessage = $result->getErrorMessage();
    // Handle validation errors
}
```

### Advanced Usage

[](#advanced-usage)

- **Custom filters:**
    Create your own filters and add them to schemas.
- **Nested objects & arrays:**
    Compose validators for deeply nested data.

See the [examples directory](https://github.com/Nebalus/Sanitizr/tree/dev/examples) and [API Reference](https://github.com/Nebalus/Sanitizr/wiki) for more details.
