Validator
=========

[](#validator)

THIS IS ALPHA VERSION.

This is a validation library, like Laravel illuminate\\Validation, but has not a lot of dependencies, and more simpler.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require nikitakiselev/validator dev-master

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use NikitaKiselev\Validator\Validator;

$data = [
    'username' => 'required|max:50',
    'email' => 'required|email',
];

$v = new Validator($data, [
    'username' => 'required|max:50',
    'email' => 'required|email',
]);

$v->fails(); // return false
$v->pass(); // return true
$v->errors(); // return []
```

Add custom rules
----------------

[](#add-custom-rules)

For adding your custom rule, you can call `extend` method

```
$v->extend('max', function ($value, $field, $rule, $max) {
    return $value > $max;
});
```

Change message language
-----------------------

[](#change-message-language)

```
$v->setLanguage('ru');
```

Set custom message for validation rule
--------------------------------------

[](#set-custom-message-for-validation-rule)

```
$v->setMessage('required', 'This is custom validation error for "required" rule');
$v->setMessage('username.required', 'This is custom validation error for "required" rule and "username" field');
```
