Alexandre Gomes Gaigalas bd48bdcda4 Lint Changelog format in validator docs 
Introduces a Markdown linter for checking the Changelog format.

"See Also" was transformed into a section to make it easier to
handle it with the `Content` class. The "Related" linter was
simplified to reflect that change too.

An additional "alignment" parameter was added to markdown table
generators, allowing the padding and headers to be explicitly
marked with a specific left (-1), middle (0) or right(1)
alignment.

Existing files were fixed using the `fix` option after the
changes.

KeyExists

  • KeyExists(string|int $key)

Validates if the given key exists in an array.

v::keyExists('name')->assert(['name' => 'The Respect Panda']);
// Validation passes successfully

v::keyExists('name')->assert(['email' => 'therespectpanda@gmail.com']);
// → `.name` must be present

v::keyExists(0)->assert(['a', 'b', 'c']);
// Validation passes successfully

v::keyExists(4)->assert(['a', 'b', 'c']);
// → `.4` must be present

v::keyExists('username')->assert(new ArrayObject(['username' => 'therespectpanda']));
// Validation passes successfully

v::keyExists(5)->assert(new ArrayObject(['a', 'b', 'c']));
// → `.5` must be present

Notes

  • To validate an array against a given validator if the key exists, use KeyOptional instead.
  • To validate an array against a given validator requiring the key to exist, use Key instead.

Templates

KeyExists::TEMPLATE_STANDARD

Mode Template

Template placeholders

Placeholder Description
subject The validated input or the custom validator name (if specified).

Caveats

KeyExists defines the given $key as the path, and because it is a standalone validator without children, it's not possible to display a fully custom name with it.

When no custom name is set, the path is displayed as {{name}}. When a custom name is set, the validation engine prepends the path to the custom name:

v::keyExists('foo')->assert([]);
// → `.foo` must be present

v::named('Custom name', v::keyExists('foo'))->assert([]);
// → `.foo` (<- Custom name) must be present

If you want to display only a custom name while checking if a key exists, use Key with AlwaysValid:

v::key('foo', v::named('Custom name', v::alwaysValid()))->assert([]);
// → Custom name must be present

Categorization

  • Arrays
  • Structures
