PosInformatique.Foundations.PhoneNumbers.FluentValidation

Introduction

This package provides FluentValidation integration for the PhoneNumber value object from PosInformatique.Foundations.PhoneNumbers.

It adds a dedicated validator and extension method to validate that string properties contain valid phone numbers in E.164 format, using the same parsing and validation logic as the core PhoneNumber type.

Install

You can install the package from NuGet:

dotnet add package PosInformatique.Foundations.PhoneNumbers.FluentValidation

Features

• FluentValidation integration for phone number validation
• Extension method MustBePhoneNumber() for string properties
• Validation based on the core PhoneNumber.IsValid() logic (E.164 format)
• null values are considered valid by default (combine with NotNull() / NotEmpty() when needed)
• Consistent validation rules across your application

Use cases

• Validate incoming DTOs or commands that contain phone numbers as strings
• Ensure only valid E.164 phone numbers are accepted at the boundaries of your system
• Reuse the same validation logic used by the PhoneNumber value object everywhere

Examples

Basic validation with MustBePhoneNumber

using FluentValidation; public sealed class ContactDto { public string Name { get; set; } = default!; public string? Mobile { get; set; } } public sealed class ContactDtoValidator : AbstractValidator<ContactDto> { public ContactDtoValidator() { RuleFor(x => x.Mobile) .MustBePhoneNumber(); // Validates Mobile as an E.164 phone number (or null) } }

• If Mobile is null, the rule passes.
• If Mobile is not null, it must be a valid phone number in E.164 format, otherwise validation fails with the default message:
  • "'Mobile' must be a valid phone number in E.164 format."

Combine with NotNull / NotEmpty

If you want to make the phone number mandatory, combine MustBePhoneNumber() with standard FluentValidation rules:

public sealed class RequiredContactDtoValidator : AbstractValidator<ContactDto> { public RequiredContactDtoValidator() { RuleFor(x => x.Mobile) .NotEmpty() .MustBePhoneNumber(); } }

This enforces:

• Mobile is not null or empty.
• Mobile must be a valid phone number in E.164 format.
