# Min

- `Min(Rule $rule)`

Validates the minimum value of the input against a given rule.

```php
v::min(v::equals(10))->isValid([10, 20, 30]); // true

v::min(v::between('a', 'c'))->isValid(['b', 'd', 'f']); // true

v::min(v::greaterThan(new DateTime('yesterday')))
        ->isValid([new DateTime('today'), new DateTime('tomorrow')]); // true

v::min(v::lessThan(3))->isValid([4, 8, 12]); // false
```

## Note

This rule uses [IterableType](IterableType.md) and [NotEmpty](NotEmpty.md) internally. If an input is non-iterable or
empty, the validation will fail.
