Alpha()Alpha(string ...$additionalChars)
Validates whether the input contains only alphabetic characters. This is similar
to Alnum, but it does not allow numbers.
v::alpha(' ')->assert('some name');
// Validation passes successfully
v::alpha()->assert('some name');
// → "some name" must consist only of letters (a-z)
v::alpha()->assert('Cedric-Fabian');
// → "Cedric-Fabian" must consist only of letters (a-z)
v::alpha('-')->assert('Cedric-Fabian');
// Validation passes successfully
v::alpha('-', '\'')->assert('\'s-Gravenhage');
// Validation passes successfully
You can restrict case using the Lowercase and
Uppercase validators.
v::alpha()->uppercase()->assert('example');
// → "example" must consist only of uppercase letters
