This is a Laravel composer package for validating URL's.
Validation for this package will include:
- Validating for correct syntax, specified by internal regex libraries
- Validating whether a given url exists or not
- Checking if a given url exists on spam-related databases
Today's development involved refactoring of code and file structure. I also added more formatted comments as appropriate.
An external library, php-multi-curl, was sourced to enable more reliable checking.
TO DO: Plan for proper unit testing - given the number of possible URL combinations to test, this will require some thinking and research.
This is the very first day of development - not even considered a beta release yet.
Initial development today included:
- Setting up classes to handle regex libraries (specifically for url syntax validation)
- Setting up the initial base class for validation
- Creating a Helpers class to manage miscellaneous functionality
- Creating a class to hold adapted regex libraries (which will be sourced)
