NullOr

  • NullOr(Validator $validator)

Validates the input using a defined validator when the input is not null.

Usage

php
v::nullOr(v::email())->assert(null);
// Validation passes successfully

v::nullOr(v::email())->assert('[email protected]');
// Validation passes successfully

v::nullOr(v::email())->assert('not an email');
// → "not an email" must be an email address or must be null

Prefix

For convenience, you can use nullOr as a prefix to any validator:

php
v::nullOrEmail()->assert('not an email');
// → "not an email" must be an email address or must be null

v::nullOrBetween(1, 3)->assert(2);
// Validation passes successfully

v::nullOrBetween(1, 3)->assert(null);
// Validation passes successfully
