A validation shorthand component for Symfony, similar to the syntax in the "illuminate/validator" package for Laravel.
Include the library as dependency in your own project via:
composer require "digitalrevolution/symfony-validation-shorthand"
Example
$rules = [
'name.first_name' => 'required|string|min:5',
'name.last_name' => 'string|min:6', // last name is optional
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required|string|between:7,40',
'phone_number' => 'required|regex:/^020\d+$/',
'news_letter' => 'required|bool',
'tags?.*' => 'required|string' // if tags is set, must be array of all strings with count > 0
];
// transform the rules into a Symfony Constraint tree
$constraint = (new ConstraintFactory)->fromRuleDefinitions($rules);
// validate the data
$violations = \Symfony\Component\Validator\Validation::createValidator()->validate($data, $constraint);Validates:
[
'name' => [
'first_name' => 'Peter',
'last_name' => 'Parker'
],
'email' => '[email protected]',
'password' => 'hunter8',
'phone_number' => '0201234678',
'news_letter' => 'on',
'tags' => ['sports', 'movies', 'music']
