# Alnum

- `Alnum()`
- `Alnum(string ...$additionalChars)`

Validates whether the input is alphanumeric or not.

Alphanumeric is a combination of alphabetic (a-z and A-Z) and numeric (0-9)
characters.

```php
v::alnum()->validate('foo 123'); // false
v::alnum(' ')->validate('foo 123'); // true
v::alnum()->validate('100%'); // false
v::alnum('%')->validate('100%'); // true
v::alnum('%', ',')->validate('10,5%'); // true
```

You can restrict case using the [Lowercase](Lowercase.md) and
[Uppercase](Uppercase.md) rules.

```php
v::alnum()->uppercase()->validate('example'); // false
```

Message template for this validator includes `{{additionalChars}}` as the string
of extra chars passed as the parameter.
