# KeyValue
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `keyValue(string $comparedKey, string $ruleName, string $baseKey)`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Performs validation of `$comparedKey` using the rule named on `$ruleName` with
|
||
|
`$baseKey` as base.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sometimes, when validating arrays, the validation of a key value depends on
|
||
|
another key value and that may cause some ugly code since you need the input
|
||
|
before the validation, making some checking manually:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
v::key('password')->check($_POST);
|
||
|
v::key('password_confirmation', v::equals($_POST['password']))->check($_POST);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The problem with the above code is because you do not know if `password` is a
|
||
|
valid key, so you must check it manually before performing the validation on
|
||
|
`password_confirmation`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The `keyValue()` rule makes this job easier by creating a rule named on
|
||
|
`$ruleName` passing `$baseKey` as the first argument of this rule, see an example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
v::keyValue('password_confirmation', 'equals', 'password')->validate($_POST);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The above code will result on `true` if _`$_POST['password_confirmation']` is
|
||
|
[equals](Equals.md) to `$_POST['password']`_, it's the same of:
|
||
|
|
||
|
See another example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
v::keyValue('state', 'subdivisionCode', 'country')->validate($_POST);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The above code will result on `true` if _`$_POST['state']` is a
|
||
|
[subdivision code](SubdivisionCode.md) of `$_POST['country']`_:
|
||
|
|
||
|
This rule will invalidate the input if `$comparedKey` or `$baseKey` don't exist,
|
||
|
or if the rule named on `$ruleName` could not be created (or don't exist).
|
||
|
|
||
|
When using `assert()` or `check()` methods and the rule do not pass, it overwrites
|
||
|
all values in the validation exceptions with `$baseKey` and `$comparedKey`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
v::keyValue('password_confirmation', 'equals', 'password')->check($input);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The above code may generate the message:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
password_confirmation must be equals "password"
|
||
|
```
