Add Validations for equals() and not_equals()

Please provide the unit test case related to all the datatype and string case sensitive and insensitive comparison. |
|
Could not we just use in_list / not_in_list / regex rules ? |

@nowackipawel While those supply overlapping functionality, they make for weird error messages such as "The confirmation field must be one of: yes." This allows for clearer messages as well as easier to understand code. |
I accidentally sent user guide and tests to my develop branch. I included those and added tests for case sensitivity. Data types are irrelevant because rules "must accept a string as the first parameter" (https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgniter4/libraries/validation.html#creating-custom-rules). |
Null gets cast as empty string so is actually true, even though the datatypes are initially different.
Description
Per conversation in Slack, there is currently no way to check a precise value (or not), such as confirming a user typed "yes". This adds validation rules for
equalsandnot_equals, along with their language texts, user guide entires, and tests.Checklist:
