This project is a comprehensive, fluent validation library for PHP, inspired by Valibot and Zod. It provides a structured way to validate various data types, including associative arrays, `stdClass` objects, plain arrays, strings, integers, floating-point numbers, and booleans. It features a symmetrical and predictable API for handling different data structures with advanced validation capabilities.
44

55
## Key Components:
66

7-
* **`Validator.php`**: Acts as a factory for creating different validator instances (e.g., `isAssociative()`, `isObject()`, `isArray()`).
8-
* **`AssociativeValidator.php`**: Handles validation for associative arrays. It can be configured with `->coerce()` to automatically convert a `stdClass` object into an associative array before validation.
9-
* **`ObjectValidator.php`**: Handles validation for `stdClass` objects. It can be configured with `->coerce()` to automatically convert an associative array into a `stdClass` object before validation.
10-
* **`FieldValidator.php`**: An abstract base class for all individual validators. It defines common validation methods like `required()`, `default()`, `coerce()`, and `oneOf()`. It implements a unified `validate()` (throws exception) and `tryValidate()` (returns result tuple) pattern.
11-
* **Specific Validators (e.g., `StringValidator.php`, `IntValidator.php`, `ArrayValidator.php`)**: Implement type-specific validation and coercion logic.
7+
### Core Architecture:
8+
* **`Validator.php`**: Acts as a factory for creating different validator instances (e.g., `isAssociative()`, `isObject()`, `isArray()`, `isString()`, `isInt()`, `isFloat()`, `isBool()`).
9+
* **`FieldValidator.php`**: An abstract base class for all individual validators. It defines common validation methods like `required()`, `default()`, `coerce()`, `oneOf()`, and logical combinators (`allOf()`, `anyOf()`, `not()`). It implements a unified `validate()` (throws exception) and `tryValidate()` (returns result tuple) pattern with comprehensive error collection.
1210
* **`ValidationException.php`**: Custom exception class used to report validation errors, capable of holding a nested structure of error messages.
1311

12+
### Structure Validators:
13+
* **`AssociativeValidator.php`**: Handles validation for associative arrays with schema definition. It can be configured with `->coerce()` to automatically convert a `stdClass` object into an associative array before validation.
14+
* **`ObjectValidator.php`**: Handles validation for `stdClass` objects with schema definition. It can be configured with `->coerce()` to automatically convert an associative array into a `stdClass` object before validation.
15+
* **`ArrayValidator.php`**: Handles validation for plain indexed arrays with optional item validation.
16+
17+
### Type Validators:
18+
* **`StringValidator.php`**: Comprehensive string validation with format validators (`email()`, `url()`, `uuid()`, `ip()`, `datetime()`, `date()`), length constraints (`minLength()`, `maxLength()`, `length()`), and pattern matching (`pattern()`).
19+
* **`IntValidator.php`**: Integer validation with numeric constraints (`min()`, `max()`, `multipleOf()`, `positive()`, `negative()`) via `NumericConstraintsTrait`.
20+
* **`FloatValidator.php`**: Floating-point number validation with numeric constraints (`min()`, `max()`, `multipleOf()`, `positive()`, `negative()`) via `NumericConstraintsTrait`.
21+
* **`BoolValidator.php`**: Boolean validation with smart coercion support.
22+
23+
### Shared Components:
24+
* **`NumericConstraintsTrait.php`**: Shared trait providing common numeric validation constraints for both `IntValidator` and `FloatValidator`, eliminating code duplication and ensuring consistent behavior.
25+
26+
## Advanced Features:
27+
28+
* **Logical Combinators**: Complex validation logic with `allOf()`, `anyOf()`, and `not()` methods for advanced rule composition.
29+
* **Context-Aware Validation**: Custom validators receive `(value, key, input)` parameters for sophisticated validation logic.
30+
* **Comprehensive Error Collection**: Validators collect all validation errors instead of stopping at the first failure, providing complete feedback.
31+
* **Smart Type Coercion**: Intelligent type conversion with configurable coercion rules.
32+
* **Fluent API**: Chainable method calls for readable and maintainable validation code.
33+
1434
## Development Setup:

This document captures ideas and suggestions for potential future enhancements to the Lemmon Validator library, beyond the current roadmap. These are not prioritized but serve as a backlog of possibilities for further development.
44

5+
## Recently Implemented (v0.3.0) ✅
6+
7+
The following ideas were successfully implemented in the recent major release:
8+
9+
**Logical Combinators** - `allOf()`, `anyOf()`, and `not()` methods for complex validation logic composition.
10+
11+
**Enhanced Error Collection** - Comprehensive error reporting that collects all validation errors instead of stopping at the first failure.
12+
13+
**Context-Aware Validation** - Custom validators now receive `(value, key, input)` parameters for sophisticated validation logic.
14+
15+
**Shared Validation Logic** - `NumericConstraintsTrait` eliminates code duplication between numeric validators.
16+
17+
**Comprehensive String Validation** - Complete suite of format validators including email, URL, UUID, IP, datetime, pattern matching, and length constraints.
18+
19+
## New Ideas from Recent Development
20+
21+
## 5. Validation Performance Profiling
22+
23+
* **Concept**: Introduce optional performance monitoring and profiling capabilities for complex validation chains.
24+
* **Benefit**: Identify bottlenecks in complex validation schemas, especially useful for high-throughput applications.
25+
* **Implementation**: Optional profiler that tracks validation time per validator and provides optimization suggestions.
26+
27+
## 6. Validation Schema Serialization
28+
29+
* **Concept**: Ability to serialize/deserialize validation schemas to/from JSON or other formats.
30+
* **Benefit**: Share validation schemas between frontend/backend, store validation rules in databases, or generate documentation.
31+
* **Implementation**: `$schema->toArray()` and `Validator::fromArray($config)` methods.
32+
33+
## 7. Test Suite Organization Patterns
34+
35+
* **Concept**: The recent test suite split into focused files demonstrates excellent patterns that could be documented as best practices.
36+
* **Benefit**: Other PHP projects could benefit from similar test organization strategies.
37+
* **Implementation**: Create documentation or blog post about test organization patterns for validation libraries.
38+
39+
## Existing Ideas (Still Relevant)
40+
541
## 1. Data Transformation / Piping
642

743
* **Concept**: Introduce a more general `transform(callable $callback)` method (or a `pipe()` concept) that allows users to apply arbitrary transformations to the validated data *after* validation but *before* it's returned. This is distinct from `coerce()` which is typically about type conversion.
@@ -13,17 +49,19 @@ This document captures ideas and suggestions for potential future enhancements t
1349
* **Concept**: For errors in nested schemas, enhance the error reporting to include the full "path" to the invalid field.
1450
* **Benefit**: When dealing with deeply nested data structures, knowing the exact path (e.g., `user.address.street` instead of just `street`) to an error is invaluable for debugging and user feedback.
1551
* **Example**: Instead of `['street' => ['Value is required.']]`, the error object could contain a `path` property (e.g., `['path' => 'user.address.street', 'message' => 'Value is required.']`) or the error key could be the full path.
52+
* **Note**: This becomes more valuable as the library gains adoption and users work with deeper nested structures.
1653

1754
## 3. Schema Manipulation Methods
1855

19-
* **Concept**: Introduce methods on `SchemaValidator` (or `FieldValidator` for `partial()`) that allow for easy manipulation and reuse of existing schemas.
20-
* **`partial()`**: Makes all fields in a schema (or a specific validator) optional. Useful for PATCH requests where only a subset of fields might be sent.
56+
* **Concept**: Introduce methods on `AssociativeValidator`/`ObjectValidator` that allow for easy manipulation and reuse of existing schemas.
57+
* **`partial()`**: Makes all fields in a schema optional. Useful for PATCH requests where only a subset of fields might be sent.
2158
* **`pick(array $keys)`**: Creates a new schema containing only the specified keys from an existing schema.
2259
* **`omit(array $keys)`**: Creates a new schema excluding the specified keys from an existing schema.
23-
* **`merge(SchemaValidator $otherSchema)`**: Combines two schemas into one.
60+
* **`merge(AssociativeValidator $otherSchema)`**: Combines two schemas into one.
2461
* **Benefit**: Promotes schema reusability and reduces boilerplate when you need slightly different versions of a base schema.
2562

2663
## 4. Error Codes
2764

2865
* **Concept**: Assign unique, programmatic error codes to common validation failures (e.g., `STRING_TOO_SHORT`, `INVALID_EMAIL_FORMAT`).
2966
* **Benefit**: Allows for easier programmatic handling of specific error types in the application layer, beyond just parsing the human-readable message.
67+
* **Implementation**: Could extend `ValidationException` to include error codes alongside messages.

print_r($errors);
225+
// Output:
226+
// [
227+
// 'Value must be at least 10 characters long.',
228+
// 'Value must be at most 5 characters long.',
229+
// 'Value must be a valid email address.'
230+
// ]
231+
}
232+
```
233+
234+
### Custom validation with context
235+
236+
```php
237+
use Lemmon\Validator;
238+
239+
// Context-aware custom validation
240+
$contextValidator = Validator::isString()->addValidation(
241+
function ($value, $key, $input) {
242+
// Access the field key and full input for complex validation
243+
if ($key === 'password_confirm' && isset($input['password'])) {
244+
return $value === $input['password'];
245+
}
246+
return true;
247+
},
248+
'Password confirmation does not match.'
249+
);
250+
251+
$schema = Validator::isAssociative([
