Igni Validation

Licensed under MIT License.

Igni validation is simple, lightweight and extensible validation library.

Installation

composer install igniphp/validation

Introduction

Basic example

<?php

use Igni\Validation\Assertion;

$numberValidator = Assertion::number($min = 0);

$numberValidator->validate(1);// true
$numberValidator->validate(-1);// false
$numberValidator->validate(1.0);// true
$numberValidator->validate('a'); // false

Getting error information

Allows to validate complex arrays

<?php

use Igni\Validation\Assertion;
use Igni\Validation\Error;

$userValidator = Assertion::group([
    'name' => Assertion::alnum(),
    'age' => Assertion::number(1, 200),
    'email' => Assertion::email(),
    'address' => Assertion::text(),
]);

$userValidator->validate([
    'name' => 'John',
    'age' => 233,
    'email' => 'johnmail',
]);// false


$errors = $userValidator->getErrors();

$errors[0] instanceof Error\OutOfRangeError;// true
$errors[0]->getContext()->getName();//age

$errors[1] instanceof Error\EmptyValueError;// true
$errors[1]->getContext()->getName();//address

// Exception can also be factored out of failure instance
throw $errors[0]->toException();

]);
var_dump($validator->validate(['name' => 'John Doe', 'age' => 29, 'email' => 'john@gmail.com'])); // true

Creating custom validator

To create custom validator we have to simply extend \Igni\Validation\Assertion class, please consider following example:

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

use Igni\Validation\Assertion;

class ValidateIn extends Assertion
{
    public function __construct(...$values)
    {
        $this->attributes['valid_values'] = $values;
    }

    protected function assert($input): bool
    {
        return in_array($input, $this->attributes['valid_values'], $strict = true);
    }
}

That's all folks!
