README

This package helps you to validate your excel sheet cell by cell. You do not need to store data blindly, you can rule each cell to match your expectation.

Installation

Require this package with composer.

composer require corealg/excel-validator

Usage

<?php
// initilaize Core Excel Validator
$excelValidator = new ExcelValidator();

// make rules
$rules = [
    'first_name' => 'required',
    'last_name' => 'nullable',
    'email' => 'required|email|max:30',
    'joining_date' => 'date:Y-m-d'
];

// validate the sheet
$response = $excelValidator->validate($_FILES['file'], $rules);

// Success response
// [
//   "status" => "success"
//   "code" => 200
//   "errors" => []
//   "data" => [
//     1 => [
//       "first_name" => "Mizanur"
//       "last_name" => "Rahman"
//       "email" => "test@example.com"
//       "joining_date" => "2021-01-01"
//     ]
//   ]
// ]

// Validation error Response
// [
//   "status" => "error"
//   "code" => 422
//   "errors" => [
//      0 => "The First name is required at row 11"
//      1 => "The Joining date is not valid date format at row 18"
//      2 => "The Name is required at row 20"
//   ]
//   "data" => null
// ]

Creating Rules

Use column's name for your rule's index (all lower case and replace the black space with the underscore [_])

e.g. for column name First Name your rule will be

<?php 
$rule = [
    'first_name' => 'required'
];
