It offers: 1. [validator object](docs/validator.md) to validate arrays, `ArrayObjects` or objects that have a `toArray` method. It can be extended easily to validate other types. 2. [value validator object](docs/value_validator.md) to validate single values 3. [validation helper](docs/helper.md) to simplify single value validation (does not generate error messages, only returns TRUE/FALSE) 4. [build-in validation rules](docs/rules.md) to perform the actual data validation. The validation rules are used by the helper and validator objects. Out-of-the-box, the library can handle `array`s, `ArrayObject`s and objects that have implemented the `toArray` method. In order to validate other data containers you must create a [`DataWrapper`](https://github.com/siriusphp/validation/blob/master/src/Validation/DataWrapper/WrapperInterface.php) so that the validator be able to extract data from your object. \##Elevator pitch ``` $validation = new \Sirius\Validation\Validator; // add a validation rule $validator->add('title', 'required'); // add a rule that has a list of options $validator->add('title', 'maxlength', array('max' => 100)); // or use JSON $validator->add('title', 'maxlength', '{"max": 100}'); // or a URL query string $validator->add('title', 'maxlength', 'max=100'); // add a rule with a custom error message $validator->add('title', 'maxlength', 'max=100', 'Article title must have less than {max} characters'); // add a rule with a custom message and a label (very handy with forms) $validator->add('title', 'maxlength', 'max=100', '{label} must have less than {max} characters', 'Title'); // add all of rule's configuration in a string (you'll see later why it's handy') $validator->add('title', 'maxlength(max=255)({label} must have less than {max} characters)(Title)'); // add multiple rules at once (separate using [space][pipe][space]) $validator->add('title', 'required | maxlength(max=255) | minlength(min=10)'); // add all your rules at once $validator->add(array( 'title' => 'required | maxlength(max=10)({label} must have less than {max} characters)(Title)', 'content' => 'required', 'source' => 'website' )); // add nested rules $validator->add('recipients[*]', 'email'); //all recipients must be valid email addresses $validator->add('shipping_address[city]', 'MyApp\Validator\City'); // uses a custom validator to validate the shipping city ``` \##Documentation [go to the documentation](docs/index.md) Release notes ------------- [](#release-notes) #### 1.1 [](#11) - Added HHVM to Travis CI - Renamed Validator\* classes into Rule\* classes (breaking change if you used custom rule classes) - Renamed ValidatorFactory to RuleFactory (breaking change) ### Health Score 32 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity24 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 83.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
