It can be any callable or object which implement `SolBianca\Validator\Interfaces\RuleInterface` If the callable returns false, the rule fails. ``` $validator->addRule('sex', function ($value) { return in_array($value, ['male', 'female']); })->addRuleMessage('sex', 'Field `{field}` must be male or female. Given value `{value}`.'); $validator->validate([ 'fruit' => ['value' => 'male', 'rules' => ['sex']], ]); ``` ``` class SomeRule implements SolBianca\Validator\Interfaces\RuleInterface { // some code } // You can add as a string $validator->addRule('sex', SomeRule::class); // or as an object $validator->addRule('sex', new SomeRule()); ``` Rewrite rules ------------- [](#rewrite-rules) Validator have useful default rules as `int`, `required` and many more. You can rewrite any rule by your own. ``` $validator->addRule('int', function ($value) { return (is_int($value)) && $value > 0); })->addRuleMessage('sex', 'Field `{field}` must be integer ang greater than zero.'); $validator->validate([ 'fruit' => ['value' => 'male', 'rules' => ['sex']], ]); ``` Adding custom error messages ---------------------------- [](#adding-custom-error-messages) You can add custom error messages for any rule ``` $validator->addRuleMessage('required', 'You better fill in the {field} field, or else.'); ``` Adding rule messages in bulk ---------------------------- [](#adding-rule-messages-in-bulk) ``` $v->addRuleMessages([ 'required' => 'You better fill in the {field} field, or else.', 'int' => 'The {field} needs to be an integer, but I found {value}.', ]); ``` Using Field Aliases ------------------- [](#using-field-aliases) Field Aliases helps you format any error messages without showing weird form names or the need to create a custom error. ``` $validator->validate([ 'username_box' => ['value' => '', 'rules' => ['required'], 'alias' => 'Username'] ]); // Error output: "Field `Username` is required." ``` Rules ----- [](#rules) #### Array [](#array) If the value is an array. ``` $validator->validate([ 'some_input' => ['value' => [10, 20], 'rules' => ['array']], ]); ``` #### Between [](#between) Checks if the value is within the intervals defined. This check is inclusive, so 5 is between 5 and 10. ``` $validator->validate([ 'some_input' => ['value' => 5, 'rules' => ['between' => [5, 10]]], ]); ``` #### Bool [](#bool) If the value is a boolean. ``` $validator->validate([ 'some_input' => ['value' => true, 'rules' => ['bool']], ]); ``` #### Email [](#email) If the value is a valid email. ``` $validator->validate([ 'some_input' => ['value' => 'mail@example.com', 'rules' => ['email']], ]); ``` #### Int [](#int) If the value is an integer, including numbers within strings. 1 and '1' are both classed as integers. ``` $validator->validate([ 'some_input' => ['value' => 42, 'rules' => ['int']], ]); ``` #### Ip [](#ip) If the value is a valid IP address. ``` $validator->validate([ 'some_input' => ['value' => '127.0.0.1', 'rules' => ['ip']], ]); ``` #### Matches [](#matches) Checks if one given input matches the other. For example, checking if password matches password\_confirm. ``` $validator->validate([ 'some_input' => ['value' => 1, 'rules' => ['int', 'matches' => 'other_input']], 'other_input' => ['value' => 1, 'rules' => ['int']] ]); ``` #### Max [](#max) Check if string length is less than or equal to given int. To check the size of a number, pass the optional number option. ``` $validator->validate([ 'some_input' => ['value' => 5, 'rules' => ['max' => 10]], 'other_input' => ['value' => 0.5, 'rules' => ['max' => [1.0, 'number']]], ]); ``` #### Mix [](#mix) Check if string length is greater than or equal to given int. To check the size of a number, pass the optional number option. ``` $validator->validate([ 'some_input' => ['value' => 5, 'rules' => ['min' => 1]], 'other_input' => ['value' => 0.5, 'rules' => ['min' => [0.0, 'number']]], ]); ``` #### Number [](#number) If the value is a number, including numbers within strings. > Numeric strings consist of optional sign, any number of digits, optional decimal part and optional exponential part. Thus +0123.45e6 is a valid numeric value. Hexadecimal (e.g. 0xf4c3b00c), Binary (e.g. 0b10100111001), Octal (e.g. 0777) notation is allowed too but only without sign, decimal and exponential part. ``` $validator->validate([ 'some_input' => ['value' => '5', 'rules' => ['number']], ]); ``` #### Regex [](#regex) If the given input has a match for the regular expression given. ``` $validator->validate([ 'some_input' => ['value' => 'bag', 'rules' => ['regex' => '/b[aeiou]g/']], ]); ``` #### Required [](#required) If the value is present. ``` $validator->validate([ 'some_input' => ['value' => true, 'rules' => ['required']], ]); ``` #### Url [](#url) If the value is formatted as a valid URL. ``` $validator->validate([ 'some_input' => ['value' => 'http://example.com', 'rules' => ['url']], ]); ``` ### Health Score 25 — LowBetter than 37% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity5 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
