Validation

Additional validation rules for the Laravel framework

#Intervention Validation Package for Laravel

Intervention Validation enhances Laravel's built-in validation system by introducing over 30 additional validation rules. These rules extend the capability to validate sophisticated data types such as IBAN, ISBN, credit card numbers, and various coding and formatting standards.

#Key Features:

• Extended Validation Rules: Adds robust validation for data types like credit cards, colors in hexadecimal, usernames, and more, ensuring data integrity and compliance with international standards.
• Integration with Laravel: Seamlessly integrates with Laravel (version 7 and above), leveraging its automatic service provider discovery system for easy setup.
• Customizable Error Messages: Customize validation error messages either directly within the validator or by modifying language files.
• Standalone Usage: Use outside of Laravel with a dedicated Intervention\Validation\Validator for applications not based on Laravel.

#Installation:

Install via Composer with the command:

composer require intervention/validation

#Usage Example:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
use Intervention\Validation\Rules\HexColor;
use Intervention\Validation\Rules\Creditcard;
 
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
    'color' => new HexColor(),
    'number' => 'required|creditcard',
]);

#Standalone Example:

use Intervention\Validation\Validator;
use Intervention\Validation\Rules\Creditcard;
 
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
    'ccnumber' => new Creditcard(),
]);
 
$result = Validator::isHexcolor('#ccc'); // returns true

#Notable Validation Rules:

• Creditcard: Validates various credit card numbers.
• HexColor: Validates colors in hexadecimal format.
• IBAN: Validates International Bank Account Numbers.
• ISBN: Validates International Standard Book Numbers, supporting both ISBN-10 and ISBN-13.
• Username: Validates usernames with specific character requirements.

#Development & Testing:

Included is a Docker configuration for running tests, which requires Docker to be installed:

docker-compose run --rm --build tests

Intervention Validation stands out by providing extensive additional validation rules that are easy to integrate and use within Laravel, enhancing both the robustness of your data validation processes and the security of your applications.
