Validator is a simple way to validate a property or an object.

Features

Can works with annotation
Easy to create your own validator
If compatible, the validator can provide a sanitized version of your value/object

Installation

Composer

composer require macfja/validator @dev

Examples

Validate a value

$myValue = '2014-09-02';
$validator = new LowerThan();
$validator->value = new \DateTime('2012-07-01');
$validator->type = 'date';
$validator->setInput($myValue);

if ($validator->isValid()) {
    die('Houston, we\'ve had a problem');
} else {
    die('You are too old for that');
}

Validate an object (method 1)

Class Person

class Person {
    public $firstName = 'John';
    public $lastName = 'Doe';
    public $email = 'jdoe@example.com';
    public $dob;
}

Somewhere in your code

$jdoe = new Person();
$objectValidator = new ObjectValidator($jdoe);

// - Names validator
$validator1 = new Length();
$validator1->type = 'string';
$validator1->minimum = 1;
$validator1->maximum = 255;//SQL limit?
// - email validator
$validator2 = new Email();
// - age
$validator3 = new DateTime();
$validator4 = new LowerThan();
$validator4->value = '-18 years';
$validator4->type = 'date';

$objectValidator->addValidator('firstName', $validator1);
$objectValidator->addValidator('lastName', $validator1);
$objectValidator->addValidator('email', $validator2);
$objectValidator->addValidator('dob', $validator3);
$objectValidator->addValidator('dob', $validator4);

if (!$objectValidator->isValid()) {
    var_dump($objectValidator->getErrors());
}

Validate an object (method 2 - annotation)

Class Person

use MacFJA\Validator\Annotation as Validator

class Person {
    /** @Validator\Length(type="string", minimum=1, maximum=255) */
    public $firstName = 'John';
    /** @Validator\Length(type="string", minimum=1, maximum=255) */
    public $lastName = 'Doe';
    /** @Validator\Email */
    public $email = 'jdoe@example.com';
    /**
      * @Validator\DateTime
      * @Validator\LowerThan("-18 years", type="date")
      */
    public $dob;
}

Somewhere in your code

$jdoe = new Person();
$objectValidator = new AnnotationValidator($jdoe);

if (!$objectValidator->isValid()) {
    echo sprintf("You have %d error(s) in your object", $objectValidator->getErrorsCount());
}

Notice About Annotation

For annotation validator, you have to:

add Doctrine Annotations library in your project (doctrine/annotations).
add all annotations into the Doctrine Annotation Registry.

You MUST add all annotations before use it.

To do so you can call the function AnnotationValidator::registerAnnotations(). This function will add all default validator annotations into doctrine annotation registry.
