# url-validation
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

## Development Calendar:

* [17 March 2015 (St. Patricks Day!)](#17032015)
* [16 March 2015](#16032015)

### 17 March 2015 (St. Patricks Day!)
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.

### 16 March 2015
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)
