Spaced

  • Spaced()

Validates if a string contains at least one whitespace (spaces, tabs, or line breaks);

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 or Alpha to ensure that a string contains no whitespace characters:

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)
