Equivalent

• Equivalent(mixed $compareTo)

Validates if the input is equivalent to some value.

v::equivalent(1)->isValid(true); // true
v::equivalent('Something')->isValid('someThing'); // true
v::equivalent(new ArrayObject([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]))->isValid(new ArrayObject([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])); // true

This validator is very similar to Equals but it does not make case-sensitive comparisons.

Message template for this validator includes {{compareTo}}.
