Validator once method - extending the validator for validating single values

[RichToms]

The validator has a lot of great rules built into it that can make typical development and checks much easier to reading/writing long if statements for validation

I propose a once method to the Validator that allows you to pass a single value and an array/string of rules, the result is a boolean of whether the value passes those rules or not. This could also accept custom Rules as the usual Validator can.

Before

if (is_int($someValue) && $someValue >= 0 && $someValue < 10) {

After

if (Validator::once($someValue, ['numeric', 'between:0,10'])) {

You can use the global helper.

validator([
    'field' => $someValue
], [
    'field' => ['numeric', 'between:0,10']
])->passes();

Sure, you would still have to name the field, but there's no is_int, >= and < involved.

That is true, but the syntax of that is what I am proposing to avoid having to do - being able to utilise those rules in your selections will make them easier to read complex selections as the rules are quite clear
