Illuminate Validator Outside Laravel
------------------------------------

[](#illuminate-validator-outside-laravel)

### Installation

[](#installation)

`composer require webreinvent/validation`

### Usage

[](#usage)

```
use Webreinvent\Validation\Validator;

$validator = new Validator;

```

##### Database presence verifier

[](#database-presence-verifier)

Using the [Illuminate Database Capsule](https://github.com/laravel/framework/tree/master/src/Illuminate/Database) set the database connection instance:

```
$db = $capsule->getDatabaseManager();

$validator->setConnection($db);

```

##### Providing a custom translator

[](#providing-a-custom-translator)

To provide a custom translator pass an instance of `Illuminate\Container\Container` with the translator bound to `translator`.

The translator must implement `Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatorInterface`.

```
$container = new Illuminate\Container\Container;

$container['translator'] = new CustomTranslator();

$validator = new Validator($container);

```

##### Creating validators

[](#creating-validators)

```
$validator = Validator::make(
    [
        'name' => 'John',
        'last_name' => 'Doe'
    ],
    [
        'name' => ['required', 'min:3'],
        'last_name' => ['required', 'min:3']
    ]
);

```

##### Working with error messages

[](#working-with-error-messages)

After calling the errors method on a Validator instance, you will receive an `Illuminate\Support\MessageBag` instance, which has a variety of convenient methods for working with error messages.

Retrieving The First Error Message For A Field

To retrieve the first error message for a given field, use the first method:

```
$messages = $validator->errors();

echo $messages->first('email');

```

###### Retrieving all error messages for a field

[](#retrieving-all-error-messages-for-a-field)

If you wish to simply retrieve an array of all of the messages for a given field, use the get method:

```
foreach ($messages->get('email') as $message) {
    //
}

```

###### Retrieving all error messages for all fields

[](#retrieving-all-error-messages-for-all-fields)

To retrieve an array of all messages for all fields, use the all method:

```
foreach ($messages->all() as $message) {
    //
}

```

###### Determining if messages exist for a field

[](#determining-if-messages-exist-for-a-field)

```
if ($messages->has('email')) {
    //
}

```

###### Retrieving an error message with a format

[](#retrieving-an-error-message-with-a-format)

```
echo $messages->first('email', ':message');
Retrieving All Error Messages With A Format

foreach ($messages->all(':message') as $message) {
    //
}

```
