Replace isValid() calls with assert()
There's more value on showing how `assert()` displays the validation
messages than simply showing if `isValid()` returns `true` or `false`.

However, that increases the chances of having outdated documentation, so
I created a doc linter that updates the Markdown files with the
correct message.

Size

  • Size("B"|"KB"|"MB"|"GB"|"TB"|"PB"|"EB"|"ZB"|"YB" $unit, Validator $validator)

Validates whether the input is a file that is of a certain size or not.

v::size('KB', v::greaterThan(1))->assert('/path/to/file');
// Validation passes successfully

v::size('MB', v::between(1, 2))->assert('/path/to/file');
// → The size in megabytes of "/path/to/file" must be between 1 and 2

v::size('GB', v::lessThan(1))->assert('/path/to/file');
// Validation passes successfully

Accepted data storage units are B, KB, MB, GB, TB, PB, EB, ZB, and YB.

This validator will accept:

  • string file paths
  • SplFileInfo objects (see SplFileInfo)
  • Psr\Http\Message\UploadedFileInterface objects (see PSR-7)
  • Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface objects (see PSR-7)

Templates

Mode Template
default The size in {{unit|trans}} of
inverted The size in {{unit|trans}} of

Size::TEMPLATE_WRONG_TYPE

Used when the input is not a valid file path, a SplFileInfo object, or a PSR-7 interface.

Mode Template
default {{subject}} must be a filename or an instance of SplFileInfo or a PSR-7 interface
inverted {{subject}} must not be a filename or an instance of SplFileInfo or a PSR-7 interface

Template as prefix

The template serves as a prefix to the template of the inner validator.

v::size('MB', v::equals(2))->assert('/path/to/file');
// → The size in megabytes of "/path/to/file" must be equal to 2

v::size('KB', v::not(v::equals(56)))->assert('/path/to/file');
// Validation passes successfully

Template placeholders

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