Usage

There are two different ways in which all Sparta validators can be used. See below examples for more explanations:

option #1

You can simply instantiate the Email validator and pass to it the data that you want to validate.

<?php
use Sparta\Validators\Email;

$validator = Email();

if(!$validator->isValid('foo@bar.com')){ 
    //handle errors
}

option #2

You can build your validation rules and pass it to the Validation object to handle as shown below:

<?php
use Sparta\Validation;

$rules = [
    'email_address' => 'email',
];

//Assuming that your $data has an element with the key "email_address"
$validation = new Validation($data, $rules);
if(!$validation->isValid()){
    //handle errors
}

In case of validation failure, error messages can be retrieved using the getErrors method.
