Imagine that you have a model with some validation.

Model:

class CreateUserDto
{
  #[String]
  #[Length(max: 20)]
  private $name;

  #[String]
  #[Length(max: 20)]
  private $surname;
}

You wrote API and you wanted to try it.

Validation:

$dto = new CreateUserDto($payload)
$validator->validate($dto)

Payload:

{"name": "Dmitrii"}

You sent the payload and what would you want to get in response?

There are only two options:

1. Validation passed.
2. Validation failed.

If you want to explain your decision feel free to write comment.

You can vote by emoji:
👍 – validation passed.
👎 – validation failed.
