Validator
=========

[](#validator)

This is a simple validator library to validate some input.

### Installation

[](#installation)

You can install it using composer :

```
composer require nicdamours/validator

```

### Usage

[](#usage)

To use the library, simply call the static method `make` of the Validator object, then select your input to validate, and use the `validate` function at the end.
 Ex:

```
    $myObject = [
        'name' => 'John Doe',
        'age' => 26,
        'isAdult' => true,
        'email' => 'j.doe@example.com',
        'birthdate' => '1990-01-01'
    ];

    return Validator::make($myObject)
                        ->name('name')
                        ->int('age')
                        ->boolean('isAdult')
                        ->email('email')
                        ->date('birthDate')
                        ->validate();
```

Be default, all parameters are optionals, unless you tell the validation function not to.
Ex :

```
    $myObject = [
        'name' => 'John Doe',
        'age' => null,
        'isAdult' => true,
        'email' => 'j.doe@example.com',
        'birthdate' => '1990-01-01'
    ];

    return Validator::make($myObject)
                        ->name('name', false) // this cannot be null.
                        ->int('age')
                        ->boolean('isAdult',  false) // this cannot be null.
                        ->email('email',  false) // this cannot be null.
                        ->date('birthDate',  false) // this cannot be null.
                        ->validate();
```
