README

Provides Laravel-like request validation without all the overhead.

Note: More rules are still yet to be added

Basic Usage

	// Ruleset with key matching request parameter and value matching rules
	$rules = [
    	"name" 		=> "required|string",
        "age" 		=> "numeric",
        "consent" 	=> "required_without:age"
    ];
    
    // Aliases for request parameters with special characters
    $aliases = [
    	"name" => "Full Name"
    ];
    
    // Will either be true for success, or an array of error messages
    $result = RequestHelper::validatePost($rules, $aliases);
