Before writing anything, make sure there is no validator that already does what
you need. Also, it would be awesome if you
[open an issue](http://github.com/Respect/Validation/issues) before starting,
you need. Also, it would be awesome if you [open an issue][] before starting,
so if anyone has the same idea the guy will see that you're already doing that.
## Adding a new validator
@ -27,12 +25,12 @@ A common validator (rule) on Respect\Validation is composed of three classes:
* `library/Rules/YourRuleName.php`: the rule itself
* `library/Exceptions/YourRuleNameException.php`: the exception thrown by the rule
* `tests/Rules/YourRuleNameTest.php`: tests for the rule
* `tests/unit/Rules/YourRuleNameTest.php`: tests for the rule
Classes are pretty straightforward. In the sample below, we're going to create a
validator that validates if a string is equal "Hello World".
## Samples
### Creating the rule
The rule itself needs to implement the `Validatable` interface.
Also, it is convenient to extend the `AbstractRule`.

Docblocks with `@param`, `@return`, `{@inheritdoc}`, `@author` and other
annotations for classes and methods are encouraged but not required.
### Creating the rule exception
Just that and we're done with the rule code. The Exception requires you to
declare messages used by `assert()` and `check()`. Messages are declared in
affirmative and negative moods, so if anyone calls `v::not(v::helloWorld())` the
library will show the appropriate message.

### Creating unit tests
Finally, we need to test if everything is running smooth. We have `RuleTestCase`
that allows us to make easier to test rules, but you fell free to use the
`PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase` if you want or you need it's necessary.
The `RuleTestCase` extends PHPUnit's `PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase` class, so you
are able to use any method of them. By extending `RuleTestCase` you should
implement two methods that should return a [data provider][] with the rule as
first item of the arrays:
- `providerForValidInput`: Will test when `validate()` should return `true`
- `providerForInvalidInput`: Will test when `validate()` should return `false`

public function testShouldThowsTheRightExceptionWhenChecking()

$rule = new HelloWorld();
$rule->check('Hello Mars');
return [
[$rule, 'Not a hello'],
[$rule, 'Hello darkness, my old friend'],
[$rule, 'Hello is it me you\'re looking for?'],
];
}
}
```
PS.: We strongly recommend you use [Data Providers](https://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/writing-tests-for-phpunit.html#writing-tests-for-phpunit.data-providers).
If the constructor of your rule accepts arguments you may create specific tests
for it other than what is covered by `RuleTestCase`.
### Helping us a little bit more
You rule will be accepted only with these 3 files (rule, exception and unit test),
but if you really want to help us, you can follow the example of [ArrayType][] by:
- Adding your new rule on the `Validator`'s class docblock;
- Writing a documentation for your new rule;
- Creating integration tests with PHPT.
As I already said, none of them are required but you will help us a lot.
