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.

Property

  • Property(string $propertyName, Validator $validator)

Validates an object property against a given validator.

$object = new stdClass;
$object->name = 'The Respect Panda';
$object->email = 'therespectpanda@gmail.com';

v::property('name', v::equals('The Respect Panda'))->assert($object);
// Validation passes successfully

v::property('email', v::email())->assert($object);
// Validation passes successfully

v::property('email', v::email()->endsWith('@example.com'))->assert($object);
// → `.email` must end with "@example.com"

You can also use Property to validate nested objects:

$object = new stdClass();
$object->address = new stdClass();
$object->address->postalCode = '1017 BS';

v::property(
    'address',
    v::property('postalCode', v::postalCode('BR'))
)->assert($object);
// → `.address.postalCode` must be a valid postal code on "BR"

Note

This validator will validate public, private, protected, uninitialised, and static properties.

  • To only validate if a property exists, use PropertyExists instead.
  • To validate a property against a given validator only if the property exists, use PropertyOptional instead.
