v2.3.0 stable

What's Changed

[2.3.0] - 2025-10-16

New Features

• validated() method added to the Validator class
  → Returns only validated fields (those without errors).

$validator = new Validator(['name' => 'John', 'age' => null], [
    'name' => 'required',
    'age'  => 'required',
]);
$validator->isValid(); // false
$validator->validated(); // ['name' => 'John']

• New Rule: not_nullable
  → Ensures a field cannot be null.

  'field' => 'not_nullable'

---

Improvements

• ✅ Improved behavior of the nullable rule — it now correctly passes when value is null.
• Added unit tests for:
  • validated() method
  • not_nullable rule
  • nullable rule consistency
• Internal refactors for cleaner validation flow and consistent validatedData handling.

---

Documentation

• README.md updated
• Added documentation for validated() method.
• Added example for not_nullable rule.
• Simplified header with Markdown-only badges (removed HTML tags).

Full Changelog: v2.2.0...v2.3.0

v2.2.0 stable

Features

• Full support for * wildcards in validation and transformation paths
  Wildcards can now be used in input keys to dynamically apply rules or transformations to deeply nested structures.
  Example:

  {
    "users.*.email": "required|email"
  }
  

• Improved nested array notation handling
  Deeply nested array structures (e.g., users..addresses..city) are now fully supported across all layers:

  • Validation

  • Transformation

  • Conditional mapping

• Extended compatibility with hybrid structures using wildcards
  You can now target nested keys inside arrays and objects simultaneously using wildcards.
  Example:

{
  "orders.*.items.*.product.id": "required|numeric"
}

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where validation rules were not properly applied when using multi-level wildcards.

• Resolved path conflicts involving explicit array indices combined with wildcards.

Breaking Changes

Validation rules using wildcard paths are now strictly interpreted, which may affect previously lenient or permissive behavior.

Full Changelog: v2.1.0...v2.2.0

v2.1.0 stable

• Implemented NotRequiredWithRule to ensure a field is not required if another specified field is present.
• Added passes method to validate the rule logic.
• Included message method to provide appropriate error messages using LangManager.
• Updated documentation and comments for clarity.

This rule is the inverse of RequiredWithRule, providing more flexible validation options.

Full Changelog: v2.0.2...v2.1.0

v2.0.2 stable

• Set empty field to blank string before validation

Addresses bug where validation fails on non-required fields
that are not present in the data. By initializing missing
fields to an empty string, validation rules like min, max,
size, etc. can be properly applied without triggering an
error due to an undefined index.

Fixes #124
