README

PHP 7.3+ validation helpers and traits intended to replace legacy Origin-style ad-hoc validation during the library split.

Design goals

• No framework dependencies.
• Usable from DTOs, repositories, service classes.
• Prefer composition/traits over deep inheritance.
• Throw a consistent exception type (ValidationException).

Usage

Static helper

use Ksfraser\Validation\Assert;

Assert::notEmptyString($bankAccountNumber, 'bankAccountNumber');
Assert::stringMaxLen($bankAccountNumber, 255, 'bankAccountNumber');

Trait (thin wrapper over Assert)

use Ksfraser\Validation\Traits\ValidatesStringTrait;

final class Example
{
    use ValidatesStringTrait;

    public function setCode($code)
    {
        $this->assertNotEmptyString($code, 'code');
        $this->assertStringMaxLen($code, 20, 'code');
    }
}

Relationship to the split

This package was introduced as part of the long-running split of a legacy “ksf_modules_common” folder into multiple Composer packages.
