Configure the validator

To initialize the validator, create a new instance of Awurth\SlimValidation\Validator

Validator::__construct([ bool $showValidationRules = true [, array $defaultMessages = [] ]])

$showValidationRules

• If set to true, errors will be stored in an associative array with the validation rules names as the key

$errors = [
    'username' => [
        'length' => 'The username must have a length between 8 and 16',
        'alnum' => 'The username must contain only letters (a-z) and digits (0-9)'
    ]
];

• If set to false, errors will be stored in an array of strings

$errors = [
    'username' => [
        'The username must have a length between 8 and 16',
        'The username must contain only letters (a-z) and digits (0-9)'
    ]
];

$defaultMessages

An array of messages to overwrite the default Respect Validation messages

$defaultMessages = [
    'length' => 'This field must have a length between {{minValue}} and {{maxValue}} characters',
    'notBlank' => 'This field is required'
];

Add the validator as a service

You can add the validator to the app container to access it easily through your application

$container['validator'] = function () {
    return new Awurth\SlimValidation\Validator();
};
