• MinRule
• NotEmptyRule
• NotNullRule
• RegexRule
• AlphabetRule
• AlphanumericRule
• DigitsRule
• EmailRule
• PasswordRule
• FutureRule
• PastRule
• CreditCardRule
• ContainRule
• NotContainRule

Additional predefined rules to use in Validation or Condition

• maximumLength
• email
• alphanumericOnly
• alphabetOnly
• digitsOnly
• symbolsOnly

• withPassword
• notNull
• notEmpty
• notBlank
• regex
• future
• past
• matchAtLeastOneRule (Only for Validation)
• matchAllRules (Only for Validation)

You can create your own Predefined Rules

// For Validation
fun Validation.customPredefinedRule(keyword: String, ignoreCase: Boolean = false): Validation {
    baseRules.add(ContainRule(keyword, ignoreCase))
    return this
}

// For Condition
fun Condition.customPredefinedRule(keyword: String, ignoreCase: Boolean = false): Condition {
    baseRules.add(ContainRule(keyword, ignoreCase))
    return this
}

Beside from using the provided Rules, you can create your own Rule by extending BaseRule (Create as many as you want)

class CustomRule : BaseRule {

    override fun validate(value: String?): Boolean {
        if (value == null) {
            throw NullPointerException()
        }
        return value == "ABC"
    }

    // You can use this to return error message
    override fun getErrorMessage(): String {
        return "Value doesn't match 'ABC'"
    }

    // or use this to return error message as StringRes
    override fun getErrorRes(): Int {
        return R.string.error_not_match
    }
}

Add it to your Activity class

// Username
// Input: [email protected]
val usernameInput = findViewById(R.id.layout_username)
val usernameValidation = Validation(usernameInput)
                .addRule(
                    // You can also override the default error message
                    NotEmptyRule(R.string.error_not_empty)

                    // Use either errorRes() or errorMessage()
                    // Note: errorRes() has higher priority
                    NotEmptyRule("Value is empty")
                )
                .addRule(CustomRule())

// Password
// Input: 12345abc
val passwordInput = findViewById(R.id.layout_password)
val passwordValidation = Validation(passwordInput)
                .addRule(NotEmptyRule())
                .withPassword(PasswordRegex.ALPHA_NUMERIC)
                .minimumLength(8)

Condition

// And Condition
val usernameWithConditionValidation = Validation(usernameInput)
                .add(And().add(EmailRule()))

// Or Condition
val usernameWithConditionValidation = Validation(usernameInput)
                .add(Or().add(MinRule(5)).add(MaxRule(10)))

// Both by using Predefined Rules
val usernameWithConditionValidation = new Validation(usernameInput)
                .matchAllRules(listOf(EmailRule()))
                .matchAtLeastOneRule(listOf(MinRule(5), MaxRule(10)))

Mode

Validator.with(applicationContext)
            /* Set your mode here, by default is CONTINUOUS */
            .setMode(Mode.CONTINUOUS));

Single	Continuous

Validate the input field

// Order of the values on the success callback follow the sequence of your Validation object
Validator.with(applicationContext)
            .setMode(Mode.CONTINUOUS)
            .setListener(object : Validator.OnValidateListener {
                    override fun onValidateSuccess(values: List<String>) {
                        Log.d("MainActivity", values.toTypedArray().contentToString())
                        Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Validate successfully", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
                    }

                    override fun onValidateFailed(errors: List<String>) {
                        Log.e("MainActivity", errors.toTypedArray().contentToString())
                    }
                })
            .validate(usernameValidation, passwordValidation)
