README

A library to perform several validations in a chain.

Installation

Install ValidationChain with Composer

Create or update your composer.json

{
    "require": {
        "pklink/validation-chain": "0.*"
    }
}

And run Composer

php composer.phar install

Finally include Composers autoloader

include __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

Basic Usage

Create an instance of Chain with the value you like to check

$chain = \Validation\Chain('check me');

Now, run some tests in a chain

$chain
    ->isString()  // return instance of Chain
    ->isInteger() // return instance of Chain
    ->isArray()   // return instance of Chain
;

If you want to know if all validations run fine use the isValid-method

$chain->isValid(); // return false

Alternatively you can use this in one statement:

(new \Validation\Chain('check me'))
    ->isString()
    ->isInteger()
    ->isArray()
    ->isValid()

Reset chain

Use reset() to reset your chain.

$chain = new \Validator\Chain('value');

$chain->isInteger()->isString()->isValid(); // returns false
$chain->isValid();                          // returns false
$chain->isString()->isValid();              // returns false
$chain->reset()->isString()->isValid();     // returns true

Options

You can set different options with instantiation or the setter for the appropriate option.

$chain = new \Validator\Chain('value', ['option' => 'value']);

throwExceptionOnFailure

If this option is set to true then Chain will throw a Validator\Exception if a validation failed.

Default is set to false

$chain = new \Validator\Chain('value', ['throwExceptionOnFailure' => true]);

try {
    $chain
        ->isString()         // everything fine
        ->minimumLengthOf(2) // everything fine
        ->isArray()          // \Validator\Exception will be thrown
        ->isArray();         // will not perform
} catch (\Validator\Excetion $e) {
    echo 'validation failed!';
}

The setter for this option is throwExceptionOnFailure()

$chain->throwExceptionOnFailure(true);
$chain->throwExceptionOnFailure(false);
$chain->throwExceptionOnFailure(); // set this option to true

stopValidationOnFailure

If this option is set to true then Chain will not perform any further validation.

Default is set to true

$chain = new \Validator\Chain('value', ['stopValidationOnFailure' => true]);

$chain
    ->isString()    // everthing fine
    ->isArray()     // validation fail
    ->isInteger();  // will not perform

The setter for this option is stopValidationOnFailure()

$chain->stopValidationOnFailure(true);
$chain->stopValidationOnFailure(false);
$chain->stopValidationOnFailure(); // set this option to true

Listener for failures

You can add Closures to get notifications on failures.

$chain = new \Validator\Chain('value');

$chain->addValidationFailureListener(function() {
    echo 'failure';
});

$chain->isInteger();

This example will output: failure

If you like you can use the failed \Validator\Rule in your listener

$chain->addValidationFailureListener(function(\Validation\Rule $rule) {
    echo get_class($rule);
});
