The package provides a [hydrator](https://github.com/yiisoft/hydrator)that also does [validation](https://github.com/yiisoft/validator), including raw data. It's useful when input data comes from a user, and you need to validate it and then put it into DTOs.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.0 - 8.5.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The package could be installed with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require yiisoft/hydrator-validator
```

General usage
-------------

[](#general-usage)

Validating hydrator is a decorator for [hydrator](https://github.com/yiisoft/hydrator) that allows to validate:

- raw data of properties marked with `Validate` PHP attribute;
- an object after creating or populating it.

To use it, the object being validated must implement `ValidatedInputInterface`. You can use `ValidatedInputTrait` to easily create such object. The validation rules for raw values of the object are defined with `Validate` PHP attribute.

Example of object:

```
use Yiisoft\Hydrator\Validator\Attribute\Validate;
use Yiisoft\Hydrator\Validator\ValidatedInputInterface;
use Yiisoft\Hydrator\Validator\ValidatedInputTrait;
use Yiisoft\Validator\Rule\Email;
use Yiisoft\Validator\Rule\Required;

final class InputDto implements ValidatedInputInterface
{
    use ValidatedInputTrait;

    #[Email]
    private string $email;

    #[Validate(new Required())]
    private string $name;
}
```

Validation result could be obtained via `getValidationResult()` method. For further working with result, refer to corresponding [validator's guide section](https://github.com/yiisoft/validator/blob/master/docs/guide/en/result.md).

Validating hydrator usage example:

```
use Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface;
use Yiisoft\Hydrator\Validator\ValidatingHydrator;

public function actionEdit(RequestInterface $request, ValidatingHydrator $hydrator): ResponseInterface
{
    $data = $request->getParsedBody();
    $inputDto = $hydrator->create(InputDto::class, $data);

    if (!$inputDto->getValidationResult()->isValid()) {
        // Validation didn't pass :(
    }

    // Everything is fine. You can use $inputDto now.
}
```
