Illuminate Validator Outside Laravel

Installation

composer require webreinvent/validation

Usage

use Webreinvent\Validation\Validator;

$validator = new Validator;

Database presence verifier

Using the Illuminate Database Capsule set the database connection instance:

$db = $capsule->getDatabaseManager();

$validator->setConnection($db);

Providing a custom translator

To provide a custom translator pass an instance of Illuminate\Container\Container with the translator bound to translator.

The translator must implement Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatorInterface.

$container = new Illuminate\Container\Container;

$container['translator'] = new CustomTranslator();

$validator = new Validator($container);

Creating validators

$validator = Validator::make(
    [
        'name' => 'John',
        'last_name' => 'Doe'
    ],
    [
        'name' => ['required', 'min:3'],
        'last_name' => ['required', 'min:3']
    ]
);

Working with error messages

After calling the errors method on a Validator instance, you will receive an Illuminate\Support\MessageBag instance, which has a variety of convenient methods for working with error messages.

Retrieving The First Error Message For A Field

To retrieve the first error message for a given field, use the first method:

$messages = $validator->errors();

echo $messages->first('email');

Retrieving all error messages for a field

If you wish to simply retrieve an array of all of the messages for a given field, use the get method:

foreach ($messages->get('email') as $message) {
    //
}

Retrieving all error messages for all fields

To retrieve an array of all messages for all fields, use the all method:

foreach ($messages->all() as $message) {
    //
}

Determining if messages exist for a field

if ($messages->has('email')) {
    //
}

Retrieving an error message with a format

echo $messages->first('email', '<p>:message</p>');
Retrieving All Error Messages With A Format

foreach ($messages->all('<li>:message</li>') as $message) {
    //
}
