README

Instanceof Rule provides a simple, rule-based object type validation implementation for the Aegisora ecosystem.

It is built on top of aegisora/rule-contract (https://github.com/Aegisora/rule-contract) and follows its strict validation architecture, ensuring consistent and predictable behavior across applications.

✨ Features

• 🔹 Lightweight and dependency-free (except rule contract)
• 🔹 Native PHP instanceof validation
• 🔹 Fully compatible with Aegisora validation pipeline
• 🔹 Strict Context → Result validation flow
• 🔹 No raw booleans — only structured results
• 🔹 Safe execution via base Rule abstraction
• 🔹 Simple factory API (create)
• 🔹 Ready to use out of the box

📦 Installation

composer require aegisora/instanceof-rule

🚀 Core Concept

This package implements a single validation rule:

• accepts a value via Context
• checks whether it is an instance of a given class
• returns a standardized Result

Internally uses PHP native operator:

$value instanceof ClassName

🏗️ Basic Usage

use Aegisora\Rules\InstanceofRule;
use Aegisora\RuleContract\Models\Context;

class User {}

$result = InstanceofRule::create(User::class)->validate(Context::create(new User()));

if ($result->isValid()) {
    // value is instance of User
} else {
    // value is not instance of User
}

🧩 Factory Methods

InstanceofRule::create($className);

• $className — fully qualified class name (FQCN)

🏛️ Architecture

This package relies on aegisora/rule-contract (https://github.com/Aegisora/rule-contract).

Flow:

1. validate() is called
2. Context is passed in
3. executeValidate() runs
4. instanceof check is executed
5. Result is returned

All logic is safely handled by Rule contract.
