Want to use SwiftValidators with ReactiveSwift? SwiftValidatorsReactiveExtensions provides a set of extensions that play well with ValidatingProperty.

SwiftValidators is available on CocoaPods for iOS 9.0+, Xcode 8 and Swift 3.0

target 'MyProject' do
...
pod 'SwiftValidators'
...
end

It is also available through SPM:

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
name: "MyProject",
targets: [],
dependencies: [
.Package(url: "https://github.com/gkaimakas/SwiftValidators.git",
majorVersion: 6)
]
)

Validation is done using the apply function of a Validator. You can create a Validator manually or you can use on of the already available via static functions in the Validator class.

A Validator's apply function accepts an input as a nullable value that conforms to the StringConvertible protocol. By default String, NSString, Int, Float, Double and Bool conform to StringConvertible.

You can specify the Validator's behaviour when it's input is nil if you are using the static Validator function by setting the nilResponse parameter to either true or false. By default nilResponse is set to false.

Validator.exactLength(3).apply("abc") //returns true

Validator.exactLength(3).apply(true) //returns false (the string representation of true is 'true')

Validator.exactLength(3).apply(nil) //returns false since `nilResponse` is set to false by default

Validator.exactLength(3, nilResponse: true).apply(nil) //returns true since we set nilResponse to true

For more examples on how to call each validator you can look at the unit tests.

You can combine operators using the logical AND, logical OR and Logical NOT operators ( &&, || and ! respectively).

let combinedANDValidator = Validator.required() && Validator.isTrue()

The combinedANDValidator will be true only when the value is not empty and "true"

let combinedORValidator = Validator.isTrue() || Validators.isFalse()

The combinedORValidator will be true if the value is "true" or "false", otherwise it will be false.

let reversedValidator = !Validator.isTrue()

The reversedValidator will be false when the value equals "true" and true for all other values.

*FQDNOptions is a class that is used on isFQDN for configuration purposes. It can be instantiated like this:

FQDNOptions(requireTLD: Bool, allowUnderscores: Bool, allowTrailingDot: Bool)
