Simple PHP Validator

A simple validator is a lightweight PHP validation library written in modern PHP 8. It provides a simple and expressive way to validate data using a fluent interface. The library uses Pest for unit testing.

Installation

composer require sadhakbj/validator

Quick Start

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Sadhakbj\Validator\Rules\Required;
use Sadhakbj\Validator\Rules\Email;

$data = [
    'name'  => 'Bijaya',
    'age'   => 25,
    'email' => 'abcd',
];

$validator = new \Sadhakbj\Validator\Validator($data);

$validator->setRules([
    'name'  => ['required', new Required()],
    'age'   => [new Required(), 'max:10'],
    'email' => ['required', new Email()],
]);

if ($validator->validate()) {
    dd('Validation succeeded');
} else {
    dd($validator->getErrors());
}

Usage

1. Create a Validator instance with your data.
2. Set validation rules using the setRules method.
3. Use the validate method to check if the data is valid.
4. Access validation errors using the getErrors method.

Example

// ... (Same as Quick Start)

if ($validator->validate()) {
    dd('Validation succeeded');
} else {
    dd($validator->getErrors());
}

In case of validation failure, getErrors returns an associative array with field names as keys and an array of error messages as values.
