GroupedListMessageCollector for collecting scalar key / scalar value messages grouped by key

Basic usage

<?php

namespace My\NS;

use hollodotme\FluidValidator\CheckMode;
use hollodotme\FluidValidator\FluidValidator;

$stringValue       = 'test';
$arrayValue        = [ 'test', 'test2' ];
$invalidEmail      = 'email@example@example.com';
$optionalBirthdate = null;

$validator = new FluidValidator( CheckMode::CONTINUOUS );

$validator->isNonEmptyString( $stringValue, 'This is not a string' )
          ->isArray( $arrayValue, 'Not an array' )
          ->isOneStringOf( $stringValue, $arrayValue, 'Is not part of the array' )
          ->isEmail( $invalidEmail, 'This email address is invalid' )
          ->isDateOrNull( $optionalBirthdate, 'Y-m-d', 'Birthdate is invalid' );

if ( $validator->failed() )
{
    print_r( $validator->getMessages() );
}

Prints:, _(*6)

Array
(
    [0] => This email address is invalid
)

Conditional skip of checks

Available since version 1.1.0., _(*7)

You often want to check a value only if a previous condition is true. Therefore the generic checkIf method was added, alongside with if-methods for each check method., _(*8)

Example:, _(*9)

<?php

namespace My\NS;

use hollodotme\FluidValidator\CheckMode;
use hollodotme\FluidValidator\FluidValidator;

$stringValue    = 'test';
$arrayValue     = [ 'test', 'test2' ];
$invalidEmail   = 'email@example@example.com';
$birthdate      = 'not-a-date';

$validator = new FluidValidator( CheckMode::CONTINUOUS );

$validator->isNonEmptyString( $stringValue, 'This is not a string' )
          ->isArray( $arrayValue, 'Not an array' )
          ->isOneStringOf( $stringValue, $arrayValue, 'Is not part of the array' )
          # execute next 2 check methods, if $birthdate is a non-empty string
          # skip next 2 check methods otherwise
          ->ifIsNonEmptyString( $birthdate, 2 ) 
          ->isEqual( $birthdate, 'not-a-date', 'Is not equal' )
          ->isDate( $birthdate, 'Y-m-d', 'Birthdate is invalid' )
          ->isEmail( $invalidEmail, 'This email address is invalid' )
          # execute next 1 check method, if all previous checks passed so far
          # skip next 1 check method otherwise
          ->ifPassed( 1 )
          ->isNonEmptyString( '', 'String is empty' )
          ->isEqual( 'testing', $stringValue, 'Strings are not equal' );

if ( $validator->failed() )
{
    print_r( $validator->getMessages() );
}

Prints:, _(*10)

Array
(
    [0] => Birthdate is invalid
    [1] => This email address is invalid
    [2] => Strings are not equal
)

Usage with data provider

If you have an object covering a data structure like an array or something like that, e.g. a request object, you can tell the FluidValidator to use this object to retrieve the values to validate from it., _(*11)

All you need to do is to implement the hollodotme\FluidValidator\Interfaces\ProvidesValuesToValidate interface' method getValueToValidate( $key )., _(*12)

<?php

namespace My\NS;

use hollodotme\FluidValidator\FluidValidator;
use hollodotme\FluidValidator\CheckMode;
use hollodotme\FluidValidator\Interfaces\ProvidesValuesToValidate;

class Request implements ProvidesValuesToValidate
{
    /** @var array */
    private $requestData;

    /**
     * @param array $requestData
     */
    public function __construct( array $requestData )
    {
        $this->requestData = $requestData;
    }

    /*

    ... some accessor methods

    */

    /**
     * Implements the ProvidesValuesToValidate interface
     *
     * @param mixed $key
     *
     * @return mixed|null
     */
    public function getValueToValidate( $key )
    {
        return isset($this->requestData[ $key ]) ? $this->requestData[ $key ] : null;
    }
}

$requestData = [
    'name'      => 'Your Name',
    'language'  => 'de',
    'email'     => 'email@example@example.com',
    'birthdate' => '1980-01-01',
];

$request   = new Request( $requestData );
$validator = new FluidValidator( CheckMode::CONTINUOUS, $request );

$validator->isNonEmptyString( 'name', 'Name is empty.' )
          ->isOneStringOf( 'language', [ 'de', 'en' ], 'Invalid language.' )
          ->isEmail( 'email', 'This email address is invalid' )
          ->isDateOrNull( 'birthdate', 'Y-m-d', 'Birthdate is invalid' );

if ( $validator->failed() )
{
    print_r( $validator->getMessages() );
}

Usage with message collectors

Available since version 1.2.0., _(*13)

ScalarListMessageCollector (default)

<?php

namespace My\NS;

use hollodotme\FluidValidator\CheckMode;
use hollodotme\FluidValidator\FluidValidator;
use hollodotme\FluidValidator\MessageCollectors\ScalarListMessageCollector;

$stringValue       = 'test';
$arrayValue        = [ 'test', 'test2' ];
$invalidEmail      = 'email@example@example.com';
$optionalBirthdate = null;

$messageCollector = new ScalarListMessageCollector();
$validator        = new FluidValidator( CheckMode::CONTINUOUS, null, $messageCollector );

$validator->isNonEmptyString( $stringValue, 'This is not a string' )
          ->isArray( $arrayValue, 'Not an array' )
          ->isOneStringOf( $stringValue, $arrayValue, 'Is not part of the array' )
          ->isEmail( $invalidEmail, 'This email address is invalid' )
          ->isDateOrNull( $optionalBirthdate, 'Y-m-d', 'Birthdate is invalid' );

if ( $validator->failed() )
{
    print_r( $validator->getMessages() );
}

Prints:, _(*14)

Array
(
    [0] => This email address is invalid
)

Note: Behaviour is the same as in the basic usage example above., _(*15)

GroupedListMessageCollector

This collector expects messages to be an assoc. array with scalar keys and values., _(*16)

<?php

namespace My\NS;

use hollodotme\FluidValidator\CheckMode;
use hollodotme\FluidValidator\FluidValidator;
use hollodotme\FluidValidator\MessageCollectors\GroupedListMessageCollector;

$stringValue       = 'test';
$arrayValue        = [ 'test', 'test2' ];
$invalidEmail      = 'email@example@example.com';
$optionalBirthdate = null;

$messageCollector = new GroupedListMessageCollector();
$validator        = new FluidValidator( CheckMode::CONTINUOUS, null, $messageCollector );

$validator->isNonEmptyString( '', [ 'string' => 'String is empty' ] )
          ->isArray( '', [ 'list' => 'Not an array' ] )
          ->isOneStringOf( 'test3', $arrayValue, [ 'list' => 'Is not part of the array' ] )
          ->isEmail( $invalidEmail, [ 'email' => 'This email address is invalid' ] )
          ->isDate( $optionalBirthdate, 'Y-m-d', [ 'birthdate' => 'Birthdate is invalid' ] );

if ( $validator->failed() )
{
    print_r( $validator->getMessages() );
}

Prints:, _(*17)

Array
(
    [string] => Array (
        [0] => This email address is invalid
    ),
    [list] => Array (
        [0] => Not an array
        [1] => Is not part of the array
    ),
    [email] => Array (
        [0] => This email address is invalid
    ),
    [birthdate] => Array (
        [0] => Birthdate is invalid
    )
)

Note:, _(*18)

The "list" key is given twice, so 2 messages were grouped under this key.
The value for a group key is always an array with numeric keys

Custom message collector implementations

For a custom implementation of a message collector, simply create a class that implements the hollodotme\FluidValidator\Interfaces\CollectsMessages interface., _(*19)

<?php

namespace My\NS;

use hollodotme\FluidValidator\Interfaces\CollectsMessages;

class MyMessageCollector implements CollectsMessages
{
    /** @var array */
    private $messages = [];

    /**
     * @param mixed $message
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function isMessageValid( $message )
    {
        // Check for a valid type or format of your expected messages
        // Example:

        return is_string( $message );
    }

    /**
     * @param mixed $message
     */
    public function addMessage( $message )
    {
        // Add a message to your collection
        // Example:

        $this->messages[] = $message;
    }

    public function clearMessages()
    {
        // Clear the message list
        // Example:

        $this->messages = [];
    }

    /**
     * @return array
     */
    public function getMessages()
    {
        // Provide the collected messages
        // Example:

        return $this->messages;
    }
}

Extending FluidValidator with own checks

Internally all validation and conditional methods are mapped to protected check methods returning a boolean. TRUE if the check has passed, FALSE otherwise., _(*20)

So extending FluidValidator is very simple., _(*21)

1. Extend the class and add a check method

Let's add a method that checks for a valid postal address., _(*22)

<?php

namespace My\NS;

use hollodotme\FluidValidator\FluidValidator;

class MyFluidValidator extends FluidValidator
{
    /**
     * @param string $street
     * @param string $streetNumber
     * @param string $zipCode
     * @param string $city
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    protected function checkIsPostalAddress( $street, $streetNumber, $zipCode, $city )
    {
        $validPostalAddress = true;

        # Simple formal checks first
        # You can use existing check methods here
        $validPostalAddress &= $this->checkIsNonEmptyString( $street );
        $validPostalAddress &= $this->checkMatchesRegex( $streetNumber, "#^[0-9a-z\- ]$#i" );
        $validPostalAddress &= $this->checkMatchesRegex( $zipCode, "#^[0-9]{5}$#" );
        $validPostalAddress &= $this->checkIsNonEmptyString( $city );

        if ( (bool)$validPostalAddress )
        {
            # Semantic check of postal address

            # Fetch real values, if a data provider is used...
            $streetValue        = $this->getValue( $street );
            $streetNumberValue  = $this->getValue( $streetNumber );
            $zipCodeValue       = $this->getValue( $zipCode );
            $cityValue          = $this->getValue( $city );

            # Assuming you have a postal address validator doing the semantic check

            $validator = new PostalAddressValidator( $street, $streetNumber, $zipCode, $city );

            $validPostalAddress = $validator->isValid();
        }

        return (bool)$validPostalAddress;
    }
}

2. Use it for validation / conditions

Now you're able to use this as a validation method with an additional message parameter and as a conditional method with an additional continue parameter:, _(*23)

<?php

$myFluidValidator = new MyFluidValidator();

# As validation method
$myFluidValidator->isPostalAddress(
    'MyStreet', '123 a', '01234', 'MyCity',
    'Address is not valid'
);

# As conditional method
$myFluidValidator->ifIsPostalAddress(
    'MyStreet', '123 a', '01234', 'MyCity',
    3
);
/** Skip next 3 methods, if it is not a valid postal address **/

3. Add method signatures

To have better auto completion in your IDE, add the relevant method signatures to the head phpdoc of your class., _(*24)

<?php

namespace My\NS;

use hollodotme\FluidValidator\FluidValidator;

/**
 * Class MyFluidValidator
 * @package My\NS;
 * METHODSTART
 * @method MyFluidValidator isPostalAddress($street, $streetNumber, $zipCode, $city, $message)
 * @method MyFluidValidator ifIsPostalAddress($street, $streetNumber, $zipCode, $city, $continue)
 * METHODEND
 */
class MyFluidValidator extends FluidValidator
{
    /* ... */
}
