Alnum

Validates alphanumeric characters from a-Z and 0-9.

v::alnum()->validate('foo 123'); // true
v::alnum()->validate('number 100%'); // false
v::alnum('%')->validate('number 100%'); // true

Because this rule allows whitespaces by default, you can separate additional characters with a whitespace:

v::alnum('- ! :')->validate('foo :- 123 !'); // true

This validator allows whitespace, if you want to remove them add ->noWhitespace() to the chain:

v::alnum()->noWhitespace()->validate('foo 123'); // false

You can restrict case using the ->lowercase() and ->uppercase() validators:

v::alnum()->uppercase()->validate('aaa'); // false

Message template for this validator includes {{additionalChars}} as the string of extra chars passed as the parameter.
