Installation & Quick Start

Requirements

• PHP 8.3 or higher
• Composer

Installation

1. Require the package

   composer require slashlab/numerik

2. No configuration needed

   The package is autoloaded via PSR-4. There is no service provider, config file, or bootstrap step for the core library.

3. Use it

   use SlashLab\Numerik\Numerik;
   
   Numerik::pesel()->isValid('92060512186'); // true

Quick start

Boolean validation

use SlashLab\Numerik\Numerik;

Numerik::pesel()->isValid('92060512186');                    // true
Numerik::idCard()->isValid('ABC123454');                     // true
Numerik::passport()->isValid('AB1234564');                   // true
Numerik::nip()->isValid('5260250274');                       // true
Numerik::vatEu()->isValid('PL5260250274');                   // true
Numerik::regon()->isValid('691761365');                      // true
Numerik::krs()->isValid('0000127206');                       // true
Numerik::nrb()->isValid('61102010260000000000000000');       // true
Numerik::iban()->isValid('PL61102010260000000000000000');    // true

Rich validation result

validate() never throws. It returns a ValidationResult that carries the list of failures when validation does not pass.

use SlashLab\Numerik\Numerik;

$result = Numerik::pesel()->validate('92060512186');
$result->isValid;               // true
$result->failures;              // []

$result = Numerik::pesel()->validate('00000000000');
$result->isFailed();            // true
$result->getFirstFailure()->reason->value;  // 'all_zeros'
$result->getFirstFailure()->message;        // human-readable message

See Validation Results for the full API.

Parsing to a value object

On success, parse() returns a value object. On failure, it throws a ValidationException.

use SlashLab\Numerik\Numerik;

$pesel = Numerik::pesel()->parse('92060512186');
$pesel->getBirthDate()->format('Y-m-d');  // '1992-06-05'
$pesel->getGender();                      // Gender::Female
$pesel->getAge();                         // int — calculated from today
$pesel->isAdult();                        // true

Use tryParse() when you prefer null on failure instead of an exception:

$pesel = Numerik::pesel()->tryParse('bad-input'); // null

Choosing the right method

Method	Returns	Throws	Use when
isValid()	bool	never	Simple existence check
validate()	ValidationResult	never	You need the failure reason
parse()	value object	ValidationException	You need extracted data and want exceptions
tryParse()	value object or null	never	You need extracted data but prefer null over exceptions
