Hi
Just started to explore this framework, so this might be a simple question.
But how should I validate input from form? For example a string length or a password strength.
I can see there are some validation classes but cant figure out on how to use them in my application or how to register my own validator rules?

Simply implement your own validators for password_strength etc.
As @Phillipp said you can add validations to your models/collections:
https://docs.phalcon.io/en/latest/reference/odm.html#validating-data-integrity https://docs.phalcon.io/en/latest/reference/models.html#validating-data-integrity
Version 1.0.0 also introduces a validation component which is independent of the models, its documentation is not ready yet, you can see how it works in the following unit tests:

Hi
Thank you for reply, I now have a working validator in my model like this.
What I still don't understand is how I get the "message" from my view template?
public function validation() { $this->validate(new EmailValidator(array( 'field' => 'email', 'message' => 'Please provide a valid email' ))); return $this->validationHasFailed() != true; }
regards // johannes
In case that validation fails a message is appended to the messages list:
if ($robot->save()==false) {
foreach ($robot->getMessages() as $message) {
echo $message;
}
}The sam thing bothered me for some time :)
'Please provide a valid email' message is activatet with javascript file utils.js in public folder.
I believe you started working from invo example :)
