Magento validator is a validation service to validate inputs for requests. It depends on Zend validation classes, for more information about these validation rules visit [Zend Documentation](https://framework.zend.com/manual/1.12/en/zend.validate.set.html)

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Installation

[](#installation)

Require the Magento validator via composer

```
composer require softxpert/magento1-validator
```

This isntallation will install [modman](https://github.com/colinmollenhour/modman) package to map Magento files from the vendor directory.

Execute the following commands to map the module files into your Magento project

```
vendor/bin/modman init
# If this is the first installation
vendor/bin/modman link vendor/softxpert/magento1-validator
# If this is an update, then we need to re-link the files
vendor/bin/modman repair vendor/softxpert/magento1-validator
# Regenerate autoload files
composer dumpautoload
```

Finally we are done, and you'll find the module files under `app/code/community/Softxpert/Validator` directory.

### How To

[](#how-to)

To validate a request you have 2 ways:

#### Inline Validation

[](#inline-validation)

```
// Create an instance of the validator model
/** @var Softxpert_Validator_Model_Validator $validator */
$vaidator = Mage::getModel('softxpert_validator/validator');
// Preparing validator with data and rules arrays
$data  = $this->getRequest->getParams();
$rules = [
    'username' => 'required|alpha_num',
    'email'    => 'required|string|email',
];
$validator->validate($data, $rules);

// Check whether the data fails or passes
// returns true|false
if ( $validator->fails() ) {
    // Do some stuff
}
```

It supports nested inputs too.

```
$data = [
    'banner' => [
        'url'       => 'some value',
        'link_type' => 'cutom',
        'roles'     => ['admin', 'user'],
        'words'  => [
            [
                'letters' => 789
            ],
            [
                'letters' => 'string'
            ]
        ]
    ]
];

$rules = [
    'banner.url'     => 'string',
    'banner.url'     => 'string|in:valid,custom',
    'banner.roles.*' => 'string',
    'banner.words.*.letters' => 'string',
];

/** @var Softxpert_Validator_Model_Validator $validator */
$vaidator = Mage::getModel('softxpert_validator/validator');
$validator->validate($data, $rules)->redirectOnFailure();
```

#### Observer Validator

[](#observer-validator)

Create an observer for that particular route and handle all your request validations.
