[](#validate_array)

Validates an array by checking if the list of required keys all can be found in the passed array. On success it will return `true`, when it comes across a key it can find in the array it will return `false`. How ever then passed an exception it will create that exception by passing the array as first argument and the missing key as second argument to the constructor.

```
$array = ['key', 'another_key', 'required_key']; //

$requiredKeys = ['required_key'];

validate_array($array, $requiredKeys, ExceptionToBeTrownWhenAKeyIsMissing::class);
