How can I check that array contain sub array?

[ManasAtabaev]

Hi, Need check that some array contain subarray, only way I find create rule for all items in subarray, like "item1 in ['item1', 'item2', 'item3', 'item4', 'item5'] and item2 in ['item1', 'item2', 'item3', 'item4', 'item5'] and item5 in ['item1', 'item2', 'item3', 'item4', 'item5']" Thanks!

Hello 😄,

I think creating an operator for that would be appropriate, like is_subset_of:

$ruler->getDefaultAsserter()->setOperator('is_subset_of', function (array $needles, array $haystack): bool {
    foreach ($needles as $needle) {
        if (false === in_array($needle, $haystack)) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    return true;
});

then:

[item1, item2, item5] in ['item1', 'item2', 'item3', 'item4', 'item5']

Not tested, but it should work.

Is it clear?

Thank you, it work perfect! Also one more question, is it possible to return on which value test was stopped? Is there a way to return the rule operator and the value in case error occurs during the check?

$ruler->getDefaultAsserter()->setOperator('is_subset_of', function (array $needles, array $haystack) {
    foreach ($needles as $needle) {
        if (false === in_array($needle, $haystack)) {
            if($this->returnError) {
               return $needle;
           }
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
});

@Commander223 There is no error API yet. You might want to check #41. cc @vonglasow

@Commander223 Are you still living in Kyrgizstan? If yes, can you come on IRC (freenode #hoaproject), I would have some questions for you 😉.
