NAME
Validator\LIVR - Lightweight validator supporting Language Independent Validation Rules Specification (LIVR), (*2)
SYNOPSIS
Common usage:, (*3)
require 'LIVR.php'
Validator\LIVR::defaultAutoTrim(true);
$validator = new Validator\LIVR( [
'name' => 'required',
'email' => [ 'required', 'email'],
'gender' => [ 'one_of' => ['male', 'female'] ],
'phone' => [ 'max_length' => 10 ],
'password' => [ 'required', ['min_length' => 10] ],
'password2' => [ 'equal_to_field' => 'password' ]
] );
var $validData = $validator->validate($userData);
if ($validData) {
saveUser($validData);
} else {
$errors = $validator->getErrors();
}
You can use filters separately or can combine them with validation:, (*4)
$validator = new Validator\LIVR([
'email' => [ 'required', 'trim', 'email', 'to_lc' ]
]);
Feel free to register your own rules:, (*5)
$validator = new Validator\LIVR([
'password' => ['required', 'strong_password']
]);
$validator->registerRules([ 'strong_password', function() {
return function($value) {
// We already have "required" rule to check that the value is present
if ( !isset($value) || $value === '' ) {
return;
}
if ( strlen($value) < 6 ) {
return 'WEAK_PASSWORD'
}
}
} ]);
DESCRIPTION
See https://github.com/koorchik/LIVR for details., (*6)
Features:, (*7)
- Rules are declarative and language independent
- Any number of rules for each field
- Return together errors for all fields
- Excludes all fields that do not have validation rules described
- Has possibility to validatate complex hierarchical structures
- Easy to describe and undersand rules
- Returns understandable error codes(not error messages)
- Easy to add own rules
- Rules are be able to change results output ("trim", "nested_object", for example)
- Multipurpose (user input validation, configs validation, contracts programming etc)
INSTALL
Use Composer for installation LIVR. Create composer.json file with following content:, (*8)
{
"require": {
"validator/livr": "dev-master"
}
}
CLASS METHODS
new Validator\LIVR($livr, $isAutoTrim);
Contructor creates validator objects.
$livr - validations rules. Rules description is available here - https://github.com/koorchik/LIVR, (*9)
$isAutoTrim - asks validator to trim all values before validation. Output will be also trimmed.
if isAutoTrim is undefined(or null) than defaultAutoTrim value will be used., (*10)
Validator\LIVR::registerDefaultRules([ "rule_name" => ruleBuilder ])
ruleBuilder - is a function reference which will be called for building single rule validator., (*11)
Validator\LIVR::registerDefaultRules([ 'my_rule' => function($arg1, $arg2, $arg3, $ruleBuilders) {
// ruleBuilders - are rules from original validator
// to allow you create new validator with all supported rules
$validator = new Validator\LIVR($livr);
$validator->registerRules($ruleBuilders)->prepare();
return function($value, $allValues, &$outputArr) use ($validator) {
...
if ($notValid) {
return "SOME_ERROR_CODE";
}
else {
}
}
} ]);
Then you can use "my_rule" for validation:, (*12)
[
'name1' => 'my_rule' // Call without parameters
'name2' => [ 'my_rule' => arg1 ] // Call with one parameter.
'name3' => [ 'my_rule' => [arg1] ] // Call with one parameter.
'name4' => [ 'my_rule' => [ arg1, arg2, arg3 ] ] // Call with many parameters.
]
Here is "max_number" implemenation:, (*13)
function maxNumber($maxNumber) {
return function($value) use($maxNumber) {
// We do not validate empty fields. We have "required" rule for this purpose
if ( !isset($value) || $value === '' ) {
return;
}
// return error message
if ( $value > $maxNumber ) {
return 'TOO_HIGH';
}
};
};
LIVR\Validator->registerDefaultRules([ 'max_number' => $maxNumber ]);
All rules for the validator are equal. It does not distinguish "required", "list_of_different_objects" and "trim" rules. So, you can extend validator with any rules you like., (*14)
Validator\LIVR::getDefaultRules();
returns array containing all default ruleBuilders for the validator. You can register new rule or update existing one with "registerRules" method., (*15)
Validator\LIVR::defaultAutoTrim($isAutoTrim)
Enables or disables automatic trim for input data. If is on then every new validator instance will have auto trim option enabled, (*16)
OBJECT METHODS
Validates user input. On success returns validData (contains only data that has described validation rules). On error return false., (*17)
$validData = $validator->validate($input);
$errors = $validator->getErrors();
if ($errors) {
// Throw exceptions, write logs, show error messages, etc, using $errors
} else {
// Use $vaidData
}
validator->getErrors()
Returns errors array., (*18)
[
"field1" => "ERROR_CODE",
"field2" => "ERROR_CODE",
...
]
For example:, (*19)
[
"country" => "NOT_ALLOWED_VALUE",
"zip" => "NOT_POSITIVE_INTEGER",
"street" => "REQUIRED",
"building" => "NOT_POSITIVE_INTEGER"
]
$validator->registerRules(["rule_name" => ruleBuilder])
$ruleBuilder - is a function reference which will be called for building single rule validator., (*20)
See "Validator\LIVR::registerDefaultRules" for rules examples., (*21)
$validator->registerAliasedRule([ "name" => $ruleName, "rules" => $livrRules, "error" => $errorCode ]);
Create custom rules easely and assign own error codes in case own need.
See rules-aliasing in LIVR specification., (*22)
$validator->registerAliasedRule([
"name" => "adult_age",
"rules" => [ "positive_integer", ["min_number" => 18] ],
"error" => "WRONG_AGE"
]);
$validator->getRules()
returns array containing all ruleBuilders for the validator. You can register new rule or update existing one with "registerRules" method., (*23)
