grunt-laravel-validator

Generate PHP validations from short and concise descriptions of the input format.

NOTE: This project is not related to the Laravel official Validator class. It's a stricter and statically generated alternative to it.

To read more about the format of the validator files see the laravel-validator project directly.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.2

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-laravel-validator --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-laravel-validator');

The "laravel_validator" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named laravel_validator to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  laravel_validator: {
    target: {
      files: {
        // Target-specific file lists go here.
      },
    },
  },
})

Usage Examples

All validator files

In this example all files from the "app/validators" folder will be converted and output to the "app/lib/Validators" directory.

grunt.initConfig({
  laravel_validator: {
    all: {
      files: [
        {
          src: '**/*.js',
          cwd: 'app/validators',
          dest: 'app/lib/Validators',
          expand: true,
        },
      ],
    },
  },
})
