RequestBodyValidator

A simple PHP library to make the validation of PSR-7 request's parsed bodies less of a pain to write & read 2 month later.

GUARANTEED REGEX FREE!

Note: The doc is not up to date anymore, I'll update it eventually

Example

With the classic isset, empty and is_numeric functions

$pb = $request->getParsedBody();
if(
    isset($pb["field"], $pb["field1"], $pb["field2"],  $pb["field3"],  $pb["field4"])
    && !empty($pb["field"]) && !empty($pb["field2"])
    && is_numeric($pb["field3"])
){
    // Do stuff
}

With the validator, using the EXISTS, EXISTS_NOT_EMPTY and NUMERIC criterias.

$validator = new RequestBodyValidator($request->getParsedBody());
if(
    $validator->validateMultiple(["field1", "field4"], RequestBodyValidator::EXISTS)
    && $validator->validateMultiple(["field", "field2"], RequestBodyValidator::NOT_EMPTY)
    && $validator->validateOne("field3", RequestBodyValidator::NUMERIC)
){
    // Do stuff
}

Given the fact that if field3 must be numeric, it must also exist. This is taken into account and you don't need to verify that field3 exists before verifying that it is numeric. This also applies to field and field2 with their "non-emptiness".

Doc

Or rather a few lines quickly pieced together to show all the options. See example above as well.

Methods

// Constructor, $request is your PSR-7 request object
$validator = new RequestBodyValidator($request->getParsedBody());

// validateOne, validates a single field
$validator->validateOne($name, $criteria);

// validateMultiple, validates multiple fields with the same criteria
$validator->validateMultiple([$name, $name1], $criteria);

Criterias

Class Constant	Purpose
EXISTS	The field exists
NOT_EMPTY	The field exists and is not empty
NUMERIC	The field exists and is numeric
NOT_NUMERIC	The field exists and is not a numeric.
