FormValidation Class Documentation

The FormValidation class provides features that can validate the information received from the user with the desired features.

$form = new FormValidation();

$form
  ->field('name')->required()->min(3)
  ->field('email')->required()->email()
  ->field('age')->min(18)
  ->field('password')->required()->min(6)->confirmed('confirm_password');

if($form->isValid() == false){
  echo $form->getFirstErrorMessage();
}
else{
 // ....
}

The error text is received from the validation.php file located in the app/Storage/Langs/en/ path.

You can customize that file according to your needs or your language. Also, you can easily specify error messages when writing the validation code, as in the example below:

$input = [
  'email'=> 'invalidemailstring',
];

$form = new FormValidation($input );

$form
  ->field('email')
     ->required('Please enter the email field')
     ->email('The email is not valid :(')

if($form->isValid() == false){
  echo $form->getFirstErrorMessage();
}
else{
 // ....
}

Output: The email is not valid :(
