Lazy
Lazy(callable(mixed $input): Validatable $ruleCreator)
Validates the input using a rule that is created from a callback.
This rule is particularly useful when creating rules that rely on the input. A good example is validating whether a
confirmation
field matches the password
field when processing data from a form.
v::key('confirmation', v::equals($_POST['password'] ?? null))->validate($_POST);
The issue with the code is that it’s hard to reuse because you’re relying upon the input itself ($_POST
). That means
you can create a chain of rules and use it everywhere.
The lazy()
rule makes this job much simpler and more elegantly:
v::lazy(static fn($input) => v::key('confirmation', v::equals($input['password'] ?? null)))->validate($_POST);
The code above is similar to the first example, but the biggest difference is that the creation of the rule doesn't rely
on the input itself ($_POST
), but it will use any input that’s given to the rule
