🔄 Migration from Other Packages

From `sadegh19b/laravel-persian-validation`

This package provides a modern alternative with backward compatibility:

// Old way (still works)
'mobile' => ['ir_mobile']

// New modern way  
'mobile' => [new Mobile()]

// Both approaches are supported!

Migration Benefits:

✅ Keep your existing validation rules
✅ Gradually migrate to modern ValidationRule objects
✅ Better IDE support and type safety
✅ Improved performance

⚡ Quick Start

use Iamfarhad\Validation\Rules\{NationalCode, Mobile, ShamsiDate};

// Validate Iranian user registration
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
    'first_name' => ['required', 'persian_alpha'],
    'last_name' => ['required', 'persian_alpha'], 
    'national_code' => ['required', new NationalCode()],
    'mobile' => ['required', new Mobile()],
    'birth_date' => ['required', new ShamsiDate()],
    'company_id' => ['nullable', 'ir_company_id'],
]);

if ($validator->fails()) {
    return response()->json(['errors' => $validator->errors()], 422);
}

🚀 Usage

This package supports both modern ValidationRule objects and traditional string-based validation rules for maximum flexibility and compatibility.

🎯 Two Ways to Use Validation Rules

1. Modern ValidationRule Objects (Recommended)

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
use Iamfarhad\Validation\Rules\{NationalCode, Mobile, ShamsiDate};

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
    'national_code' => ['required', new NationalCode()],
    'mobile' => ['required', new Mobile()],
    'birth_date' => ['required', new ShamsiDate()],
]);

2. String-based Rules (Laravel Traditional Style)

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
    'national_code' => ['required', 'ir_national_code'],
    'mobile' => ['required', 'ir_mobile'],
    'birth_date' => ['required', 'shamsi_date'],
    'domain' => ['required', 'domain'],
    'website' => ['required', 'url_format'],
]);

📝 In Form Requests

Using ValidationRule Objects

use Iamfarhad\Validation\Rules\{Mobile, NationalCode, PersianAlpha, ShamsiDate};

public function rules(): array
{
    return [
        'first_name' => ['required', new PersianAlpha()],
        'last_name' => ['required', new PersianAlpha()],
        'national_code' => ['required', new NationalCode()],
        'mobile' => ['required', new Mobile()],
        'birth_date' => ['nullable', new ShamsiDate()],
    ];
}

Using String-based Rules

public function rules(): array
{
    return [
        'first_name' => ['required', 'persian_alpha'],
        'last_name' => ['required', 'persian_alpha'],
        'national_code' => ['required', 'ir_national_code'],
        'mobile' => ['required', 'ir_mobile'],
        'birth_date' => ['nullable', 'shamsi_date'],
        'company_id' => ['nullable', 'ir_company_id'],
        'website' => ['nullable', 'url_format'],
        'username' => ['required', 'username_format'],
    ];
