make Laravel 8's Validator class work outside the framework

So I installed this package https://packagist.org/packages/illuminate/validation into my project with the command composer require illuminate/validation where you get a stand-alone version of Laravels validator. Then when I tried to use it like the docs say you should https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/validation and try to implement it like this

    $validated = Validator::make($data, [
        'token' => 'required',
        'email' => 'required',
        'password' => 'required',
    ])->validate();

I get an 'message' => 'A facade root has not been set.', also this is the $data object

    array (
        'token' => 'c11019348c3876f033603a0d0030ad3f0c9ec7d7ae211a49',
        'email' => 'ewaeaw',
        'password' => 'ewaeaw',
      ),

so do I need to invoke the library somewhere or what am I'm doing wrong cause the Github readme of the package just says https://github.com/illuminate/validation [READ ONLY] Subtree split of the Illuminate Validation component (see laravel/framework) so what steps am I missing so it works fine so that I can implement it into my project

I also have looked into this Fail to make Laravel 4's Validator class work outside the framework it says you can implement it with this line $factory = new \Illuminate\Validation\Factory(new \Symfony\Component\Translation\Translator('en')); but the class \Illuminate\Validation\Factory doesn't exist anymore. cause the namespace is Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator prob cause it 9 years old? so some one has any up to date method of doing this? also looking at the vendor map there doesn't exist any factory class inside the Facades folder

For me the solution was given in the comments by Beri on the question itself, he posted a link to a method that also works on the most recent versions up to (9,14) of the illuminate/validation class. i will post it here as answer. Because many of the answers i found on google did not work with the newer versions of the illuminate/validation class. So i think it will probably help others out to.

It requires the need of:

"require": {
    "illuminate/filesystem": "^9.14",
    "illuminate/translation": "^9.14",
    "illuminate/validation": "^9.14"
}

This nice class created by jeff on his website:

<?php
use Illuminate\Validation;
use Illuminate\Translation;
use Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem;
class ValidatorFactory
{
    private $factory;
    
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->factory = new Validation\Factory(
            $this->loadTranslator()
        );
    }
    protected function loadTranslator()
    {
        $filesystem = new Filesystem();
        $loader = new Translation\FileLoader(
            $filesystem, dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/lang');
            $loader->addNamespace(
                'lang',
                dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/lang'
            );
        $loader->load('en', 'validation', 'lang');
        return new Translation\Translator($loader, 'en');
    }
    public function __call($method, $args)
    {
        return call_user_func_array(
            [$this->factory, $method],
            $args
        );
    }
}

It needs a translation file that needs to be placed in the project folder lang/en/validation.php Translation for any language can be found on github

If done correctly you can start using validation class like so:

$validator = (new ValidatorFactory())->make(
    $data = ['email'=>'thisfailsasemail'],
    $rules = ['email'=>'required|email']
);
// $validator->fails();
// $validator->passes();
// $validator->errors();

you can use validation in simple way like the following

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;

        $validation=Validator::make($request->all(),[
        'token'=>'required',
        'email'=>'required',
        'password'=>'required',
    ]);
    if($validation->fails())
    return response()->json($validation->errors());

you can test it from postman or any other way

hopefully that help you
