README

Test helper class that validates any kind of output based on the passed rules. Useful to test API reponses or data that changes over time.

A modernized version of ptrofimov/matchmaker package.

Installation

composer require mascame/katina --dev

Basic usage

$data = [
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'count' => 123,
];

$validator = new \Mascame\Katina\Validator(['name' => ':string', 'count' => ':int']);

$validator->check($data); // true

Advanced usage

$data = [
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'count' => 145,
    'list' => [
        'emptyList' => false,
        'nested-list' => [
            1, 2, 3
        ]
    ],
    'books' => [
        [
            'type' => 'book',
            'title' => 'Geography book',
            'chapters' => [
                'eu' => ['title' => 'Europe', 'interesting' => true],
                'as' => ['title' => 'America', 'interesting' => false]
            ]
        ],
        [
            'type' => 'book',
            'title' => 'Foreign languages book',
            'chapters' => [
                'de' => ['title' => 'Deutsch']
            ]
        ]
    ]
];

$requiredFields = [
    'name' => ':string',
    'count' => ':int',
    'list' => [
        'emptyList' => ':bool',
        'nested-list' => [
            ':int'
        ]
    ],
    'books' => [
        '*' => [
            'type' => 'book',
            'title' => ':string contains(book)',
            'chapters' => [
                ':string length(2) {1,3}' => [
                    'title' => ':string',
                    'interesting?' => ':bool',
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ]
];

$optionalFields = [
    'something' => 'boolean'
];

$validator = new \Mascame\Katina\Validator($requiredFields, $optionalFields);

$validator->check($data); // true

Adding rules

$data = [
    'my-birthday' => '1980-01-01'
];

$requiredFields = ['my-birthday' => ':birthdayValidator'];

$validator = new \Mascame\Katina\Validator($requiredFields);

// You can add or override rules
\Mascame\Katina\Rules::setRules(['birthdayValidator' => function($value) {
    return ($value == '1980-01-01');
}]);

$validator->check($data); // true

Matching rules

Matching rules are strings that start with ':'. You can use multiple matchers joined with space.

Matcher could be any callable (name of function or closure). You can add your own rules or replace standard ones.

• General

• empty

• nonempty

• required

• in(a, b, ...)

• mixed

• any

• Types

• array

• bool

• boolean

• callable

• double

• float

• int

• integer

• long

• numeric

• number

• object

• real

• resource

• scalar

• string

• Numbers

• gt(n)

• gte(n)

• lt(n)

• lte(n)

• negative

• positive

• between(a, b)

• Strings

• alnum

• alpha

• cntrl

• digit

• graph

• lower

• print

• punct

• space

• upper

• xdigit

• regexp(pattern)

• email

• url

• ip

• length(n)

• min(n)

• max(n)

• contains(needle)

• starts(s)

• ends(s)

• json

• date

• Arrays

• count(n)

• keys(key1, key2, ...)

• Objects

• instance(class)

• property(name, value)

• method(name, value)

Quantifiers for keys

• ! - one key required (default)
• ? - optional key
• • • any count of keys
• {3} - strict count of keys
• {1,5} - range

For matchers (i.e. ':string') default quantifier is *

Using Matcher as standalone

You can directly use Matcher:

\Mascame\Katina\Matcher::matches(['test' => true], ['test' => ':bool']); // true
