            array('\Simplify\Validation\Length', 'Name too short', array('min' => 3))
        ),
        'email' => array('\Simplify\Validation\Email', 'Invalid email!'),

    var_dump($errors);
}
```

Available validators
--------------------

[](#available-validators)

- `\Simplify\Validation\Callback`

Validation using a valid php callback of the format:

```
$rule = new \Simplify\Validation\Callback('myValidator');

function myValidator($value) {
	// your validation

	throw new \Simplify\ValidationException('Don\'t panic');
}
```

- `Simplify\Validation\Email` (required?)
- `Simplify\Validation\Enum` (list of valid values)
- `Simplify\Validation\Length` (min, max)
- `Simplify\Validation\Password`
- `Simplify\Validation\Regex` (regular expression)
- `Simplify\Validation\Required`

Brazilian formats (validação de formatos brasileiros):

### Writing custom validators

[](#writing-custom-validators)

Custom validators must implement `\Simplify\ValidationInterface` or extend on the base classes.

Example:

```
class CustomValidator implements \Simplify\ValidationInterface
{

	protected $message;

	function __construct($message)
	{
		$this->message = $message;
	}

	public function getError()
	{
		return $this->message;
	}

	public function validate($value)
	{
		// custom validation
		throw new \Simplify\ValidationException('Don\'t panic');
	}
}
```
