# Spaced - `Spaced()` Validates if a string contains at least one whitespace (spaces, tabs, or line breaks); ```php v::spaced()->assert('foo bar'); // Validation passes successfully v::spaced()->assert("foo\nbar"); // Validation passes successfully ``` This is most useful when inverting the validator as `notSpaced()`, and chaining with other validators such as [Alnum](Alnum.md) or [Alpha](Alpha.md) to ensure that a string contains no whitespace characters: ```php v::notSpaced()->alnum()->assert('username'); // Validation passes successfully v::notSpaced()->alnum()->assert('user name'); // → - "user name" must pass all the rules // → - "user name" must not contain whitespace // → - "user name" must consist only of letters (a-z) and digits (0-9) ``` ## Templates ### `Spaced::TEMPLATE_STANDARD` | Mode | Template | | ---------: | :----------------------------------------------- | | `default` | {{subject}} must contain at least one whitespace | | `inverted` | {{subject}} must not contain whitespace | ## Template placeholders | Placeholder | Description | | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | `subject` | The validated input or the custom validator name (if specified). | ## Categorization - Strings ## Changelog | Version | Description | | ------: | :------------------------------------------- | | 3.0.0 | Renamed to `Spaced` and changed the behavior | | 0.3.9 | Created as `NoWhitespace` | ## See Also - [Alnum](Alnum.md) - [Alpha](Alpha.md) - [Blank](Blank.md) - [CreditCard](CreditCard.md) - [Falsy](Falsy.md) - [Undef](Undef.md) - [UndefOr](UndefOr.md)
