Validation.php

Validation constructor.

Runs the validation process, returning true/false determining whether validation was successful or not.

Returns regex pattern for key with dot array syntax.

Runs the validation process, returning true or false determining whether validation was successful or not.

Returns the actual validated data.

Runs all of $rules against $field, until one fails, or all of them have been processed. If one fails, it adds the error to $this->errors and moves on to the next, so that we can collect all of the first errors.

Is the array a string list `list<string>`?

Takes a Request object and grabs the input data to use from its array values.

Sets (or adds) an individual rule and custom error messages for a single field. The custom error message should be just the messages that apply to this field, like so: [ 'rule1' => 'message1', 'rule2' => 'message2', ]

Stores the rules that should be used to validate the items. Rules should be an array formatted like: [ 'field' => 'rule1|rule2' ] The $errors array should be formatted like: [ 'field' => [ 'rule1' => 'message1', 'rule2' => 'message2', ], ]

Returns all of the rules currently defined.

Checks to see if the rule for key $field has been set or not.

Get rule group.

Set rule group.

Returns the rendered HTML of the errors as defined in $template. You can also use validation_list_errors() in Form helper.

Displays a single error in formatted HTML as defined in the $template view. You can also use validation_show_error() in Form helper.

Loads all of the rulesets classes that have been defined in the Config\Validation and stores them locally so we can use them.

Loads custom rule groups (if set) into the current rules. Rules can be pre-defined in Config\Validation and can be any name, but must all still be an array of the same format used with setRules(). Additionally, check for {group}_errors for an array of custom error messages.

Replace any placeholders within the rules with the values that match the 'key' of any properties being set. For example, if we had the following $data array: [ 'id' => 13 ] and the following rule: 'is_unique[users,email,id,{id}]' The value of {id} would be replaced with the actual id in the form data: 'is_unique[users,email,id,13]'

Retrieves valid placeholder fields.

Checks to see if an error exists for the given field.

Returns the error(s) for a specified $field (or empty string if not set).

Returns the array of errors that were encountered during a run() call. The array should be in the following format: [ 'field1' => 'error message', 'field2' => 'error message', ]

Sets the error for a specific field. Used by custom validation methods.

Attempts to find the appropriate error message

Split rules string by pipe operator.

Resets the class to a blank slate. Should be called whenever you need to process more than one array.
