JetFire PHP Validator

A simple php validator inspired by laravel form request validation and Respect/Validation., _(*1)

Installation

Via composer, _(*2)

composer require jetfirephp/validator

Usage

Simple usage of \JetFire\Validator\Validator :, _(*3)

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$response = \JetFire\Validator\Validator::isAlpha('Peter Parker');

// if not valid
if(!$response){
    // your code
    // ...
}

If you want to validate multiple values you can do it like this :, _(*4)

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$response = \JetFire\Validator\Validator::validate([
    'Peter Parker 1'                  => 'alpha|length:<60',
    '20'                              => 'int|max:40|min:10',
    'peter.parker@spiderman.com'      => 'email|noWhitespace',
    '+347123456789'                   => 'phone',
    '11375'                           => 'postalCode:US'
]);
if($response['valid']){
    // Continue your code
    // ...
}else{
    // $response['message'] return an array of messages for each value and rule
    // $response['message']['_field_']['_rule_']
    // for example the first validation will return an error because 'Petet Parker 1' doesn't contains only letters
    // to get the return message : $response['message']['Peter Parker 1']['alpha']
}

As you can see it's not very convenient to have value as a key to error messages. If you want to add a key for your values you have to add your key before the value, like this :, _(*5)

$response = \JetFire\Validator\Validator::validate([
    'name::Peter Parker 1'                    => 'alpha|length:<60',
    'age::20'                                 => 'int|max:40|min:10',
    'email::peter.parker@spiderman.com'       => 'email|noWhitespace',
    'phone::+347123456789'                    => 'phone',
    'code::11375'                             => 'postalCode:US'
]);
// You can get now the error message for 'Peter Parker 1' like this $response['message']['name']['alpha']

$_POST & $_GET validation

For $_POST validation you have to specify the input name like this :, _(*6)

$response = \JetFire\Validator\Validator::validatePost([
    'firstName|lastName'               => 'alpha|length:<60',
    'age'                              => 'int|max:40|min:10',
    'email'                            => 'email|noWhitespace',
    'phone'                            => 'phone',
    'postal_code'                      => 'postalCode:US'
]);

For $_GET validation you have to use \JetFire\Validator\Validator::validateGet., _(*7)

Custom Message

You can set your custom messages for validation. You have to pass an array in second argument of \JetFire\Validator\Validator::validate :, _(*8)

$response = \JetFire\Validator\Validator::validatePost([
    'firstName|lastName'               => 'alpha|length:<60',
],[
    'alpha:firstName'                  => 'FirstName must contains only letters', // only applied for firstName not for lastName
    'length'                           => ':field must not exceed 60 characters', // :field is replaced by field name (firstName or lastName) 
]);

Custom Rules

You can create your own rules for validation like this :, _(*9)

\JetFire\Validator\Validator::addRule('maximum', function($request,$param,$parameters = null){
    return (!empty($parameters['maximum']) && (int)$request[$param] <= (int)$parameters['maximum']) 
        ? true
        : '"' . $param . '" must be lower than "'.$parameters['maximum'].'"';
});

$response = JetFire\Validator\Validator::validate([
    'number::20'   => 'maximum:30'
]);

$request contains all input values (You can get the current input value over $request[$param]), _(*10)

$param is the input name, _(*11)

$parameters contains the string after ':', _(*12)

Or you can define your rules in an array and pass it to \JetFire\Validator\Validator::addRules() :, _(*13)

$rules = [
    'maximum' => function($request,$param,$parameters = null){
        return (!empty($parameters['maximum']) && (int)$request[$param] <= (int)$parameters['maximum']) 
            ? true
            : '"' . $param . '" must be lower than "'.$parameters['maximum'].'"';
    },
    'minimum' => function($request,$param,$parameters = null){
        return (!empty($parameters['min']) && (int)self::$request[$param] <= (int)$parameters['min'])
            ? true
            : '"' . $param . '" must be higher than "'.$parameters['min'].'"';
    },
];

\JetFire\Validator\Validator::addRules($rules);
