Description Author

This class can validate complex array structure using rules.

It takes a nested associative array that defines how a given array of data should be validated.

Currently the rules can define the names of the keys of the array entries, the type of value for the each key and parameters that are specific for the type of validation that needs to be performed on the array values.

Yii2 validator for complex array structures

yii2-array-structure-validator

Validator for array attributes, unlike builtin "each" validator, that support only one rule, this validator can * validate multiple array attributes and even nested data structures * All keys that should be present in array must be described, for optional keys default value should be set * When input array not contains key defined in rules, this key added automatically with null value * When input array contains key not defined in rules, "unexpected item" error will be defined

Installation


#### Usage

For a simple array with known keys like `['id'=>1, 'name'=>'John Doe']`;

public function rules() { return [ //...

   ['simpleArray', ArrayStructureValidator::class, 
      'rules'=>[
             'id'=>[['required'], ['integer','min'=>0]],
             'name'=>[['required'], ['string', 'max'=>100]],
             'sex'=>[['default', 'value'=>'male'], ['in','range'=>['male','female']]
        ]]
   ],

]; }


For multidimensional arrays like 
`
[
    ['id'=>1, 'name'=>'John Doe'],
    ['id'=>2, 'name'=>'Jane Doe','sex'=>'female'],
     ...
]`
 set each = true

public function rules() { return [ //...

   [['multiArray', 'some', 'attrs'], 'required'],
   ['multiArray', ArrayStructureValidator::class, 
      'each'=>true,
       'rules'=>[
             'id'=>[['required'], ['integer','min'=>0]],
             'name'=>[['required'], ['string', 'max'=>100]],
             'sex'=>[['default', 'value'=>'male'], ['in','range'=>['male','female']]
        ]]
   ]

]; }


For nested structures like 

[

'user'=>['id'=>1, 'name'=>'John Doe'],
'coords'=>[['x'=>1, 'y'=>2],['x'=>3,'y'=>4]]

]

public function rules() { return [ //...

   ['complexArray', ArrayStructureValidator::class, 
    'rules'=>[
             'user'=>[[ArrayStructureValidator::class, 
                   'rules'=>[
                       'id'=>[['required'], ['integer','min'=>0]],
                       'name'=>[['required'], ['string', 'max'=>100]],
             ]]],
             'coords'=>[[ArrayStructureValidator::class, 
                  'each'=>true, 
                  'rules'=>[
                        'x'=>[['required'], ['integer','min'=>0]],
                        'y'=>[['required'], ['integer','min'=>0]],
             ], 'min'=>1, 'max'=>5]],
       ], 'min'=>2, 'max'=>2]

]; }


Model scenarios supported

public function rules() { return [ //...

    ['conditional', ArrayStructureValidator::class, 
    'rules'=>[
              'a'=>[['integer','min'=>0]], //will be checked on any scenario
              'b'=>[
                      ['default', 'value'=>1, 'on'=>['create']],
                      ['integer', 'max'=>10, 'except'=>['create']],
                      ['required',  'on'=>['update']],
                      ['integer', 'max'=>1000, 'on'=>['update']],
                  ]
         ]
    ]
];

}


Closure and Inline validators supported, but with signature different from default

Inline method in model class

public function rules() { return [

  ['array', ArrayStructureValidator::class,  'rules'=>[
         'item'=>[['required'], ['customValidator']]
  ]]

]; }

public function customValidator($attribute, $model, $index, $baseModel, $baseAttribute){ / * $model - Dynamic model with attributes equals value data, or value row, if used with each=>true * $attribute - current keyName * $index - current array index for multidimensional arrays, or null * $baseModel - instance of initial model, where validator was attached * $baseAttribute - name of initial attributed, where validator was attached

* access to validated value - $model->$attribute * access to whole validated array $baseModel->$baseAttribute * $model->addError($attribute, '[{index}][{attribute}] Error message', ['index'=>$index]); */ }


When conditions supported (But not whenClient!)

public function rules() { return [

  ['conditional', ArrayStructureValidator::class, 
      'rules'=>[
           'x'=>[['safe']],
           'y'=>[
               ['default', 'value'=>1, 'when'=>fn(DynamicModel $model) => $model->x < 10],
               [
                  'default',
                  'value'=>5,
                  'when'=>function($model, $attribute, $index, $baseModel, $baseAttribute){
                          return count($baseModel->$baseAttribute) > 5;
                     }],
               ]
       ]]

]; }
