KeySet

• KeySet(Validator $validator)
• KeySet(Validator $validator, Validator ...$validators)

Validates a keys in a defined structure.

v::keySet(
    v::keyExists('foo'),
    v::keyExists('bar')
)->assert(['foo' => 'whatever', 'bar' => 'something']);
// Validation passes successfully

It will validate the keys in the array with the validators passed in the constructor.

v::keySet(
    v::key('foo', v::intVal())
)->assert(['foo' => 42]);
// Validation passes successfully

v::keySet(
    v::key('foo', v::intVal())
)->assert(['foo' => 'string']);
// → `.foo` must be an integer value

Extra keys are not allowed:

v::keySet(
    v::key('foo', v::intVal())
)->assert(['foo' => 42, 'bar' => 'String']);
// → `.bar` must not be present

Missing required keys are not allowed:

v::keySet(
    v::key('foo', v::intVal()),
    v::key('bar', v::stringType()),
    v::key('baz', v::boolType())
)->assert(['foo' => 42, 'bar' => 'String']);
// → `.baz` must be present

Missing non-required keys are allowed:

v::keySet(
    v::key('foo', v::intVal()),
    v::key('bar', v::stringType()),
    v::keyOptional('baz', v::boolType())
)->assert(['foo' => 42, 'bar' => 'String']);
// Validation passes successfully

Alternatively, you can pass a chain of key-related validators to keySet():

v::keySet(
    v::init()
        ->key('foo', v::intVal())
        ->key('bar', v::stringType())
        ->keyOptional('baz', v::boolType())
)->assert(['foo' => 42, 'bar' => 'String']);
// Validation passes successfully

It is not possible to negate keySet() validators with not().

The keys' order is not considered in the validation.
