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.

Length

  • Length(Validator $validator)

Validates the length of the given input against a given validator.

v::length(v::between(1, 5))->assert('abc');
// Validation passes successfully

v::length(v::greaterThan(5))->assert('abcdef');
// Validation passes successfully

v::length(v::lessThan(5))->assert('abc');
// Validation passes successfully

This validator can be used to validate the length of strings, arrays, and objects that implement the Countable interface.

v::length(v::greaterThanOrEqual(3))->assert([1, 2, 3]);
// Validation passes successfully

v::length(v::equals(0))->assert(new SplPriorityQueue());
// Validation passes successfully
