MaplePHP - Validation

MaplePHP - Validation is a lightweight and powerful PHP library designed to simplify the validation of various data inputs. Whether you're verifying if a value is a valid email or phone number, ensuring string lengths, or performing more advanced checks like credit card numbers and dates, MaplePHP - Validation offers a comprehensive and intuitive approach. With its wide range of built-in validators and simple syntax, it makes handling complex validation tasks easier, leading to cleaner and more reliable code.

Installation

composer require maplephp/validate

Initiation

You will always initiate an instance with the static method _val followed by a value you want to validate.

use MaplePHP\Validate\Inp;

// Validate option 1
$inp = new Inp("Lorem ipsum dolor");
var_dump($inp->length(1, 200)); // true

// Validate option 2
$valid = Inp::value("Lorem ipsum dolor")->length(1, 200);
var_dump($valid); // true

Validations

Required field

Inp::value("Lorem ipsum dolor")->required();

Check if there is any value (even if it's 0)

Inp::value(0)->hasValue();

Check string length (min, max)

• Min only:

Inp::value("Lorem ipsum dolor")->length(1);

• Min and Max:

Inp::value("Lorem ipsum dolor")->length(1, 160);

Check if string has an exact length

Inp::value("Lorem ipsum dolor")->equalLength(10);

Check if value equals or not equals another value

• Equals:

Inp::value("Lorem ipsum dolor")->equal("Lorem ipsum dolor");

• Not equals:

Inp::value("Lorem ipsum dolor")->notEqual("Lorem ipsum");

Validate if it's a valid email

Inp::value("john@gmail.com")->email();

Validate if it's a valid phone number

Allows numbers and special characters ("-", "+", " ").

Inp::value("+46709676040")->phone();

Validate Swedish personal number (personnummer)

Inp::value("198808213412")->socialNumber();

• Positive:

Inp::value("20")->positive();

• Negative:

Check if value is a valid version number

Inp::value("1.0.0")->validVersion(true); // strict semantic versioning

Compare version with another version

Inp::value("1.0.0")->versionCompare("2.0.0", '>=');

Validate password (lossy or strict)

• Lossy password (minimum character set):

Inp::value("password123")->lossyPassword(8);

• Strict password (requires at least one lowercase, uppercase, digit, and special character):

Inp::value("Password#123!")->strictPassword(8);

Validate if value is string and contains only A-Z

• Both cases:

Inp::value("HelloWorld")->atoZ();

• Lowercase only:

Inp::value("helloworld")->lowerAtoZ();

• Uppercase only:

Inp::value("HELLOWORLD")->upperAtoZ();

Check if it's a valid hex color code

Inp::value("#000000")->hex();

Check if it's a valid date

Inp::value("2022-02-13")->date("Y-m-d");

Check if it's a valid date and time

Inp::value("2022-02-13 14:15")->dateTime("Y-m-d H:i");

Inp::value("example.com")->dns();

Validate file and directory properties

• Check if it's a valid file:

Inp::value("/path/to/file.txt")->isFile();

• Check if it's a directory:

Inp::value("/path/to/directory")->isDir();

• Check if it's writable:

Inp::value("/path/to/file.txt")->isWritable();

• Check if it's readable:

Inp::value("/path/to/file.txt")->isReadable();

Validate ZIP code (with custom length)

Inp::value("12345")->zip(5);

Validate if value matches a pattern (regex)

Inp::value("abc")->pregMatch("a-zA-Z");

Validate if value is an array, object, or resource

• Array:

Inp::value([1, 2, 3])->isArray();

• Object:

Inp::value($obj)->isObject();

• Resource:

Inp::value($resource)->isResource();

Validate if value is boolean or interpretable as a boolean

• Is Boolean:

Inp::value(true)->isBool();

• Is Boolean-like value (e.g., "yes", "no", "1", "0"):

Inp::value("yes")->isBoolVal();

Validate using multiple methods (one or all must match)

• Validate if one method passes:

Inp::value("12345")->oneOf(['isInt' => []]);

• Validate if all methods pass:

Inp::value("12345")->allOf(['isInt' => [], 'length' => [5]]);
