# Regle Rules

> Regle validation rules — built-in rules from `@regle/rules`, custom rules with `createRule`, rule wrappers (`withMessage`, `withParams`, `withAsync`, `withTooltip`), and rule operators (`and`, `or`, `xor`, `not`, `applyIf`, `assignIf`, `pipe`). Use when declaring, customizing, composing, or conditionally applying validation rules in a Regle form. For form setup see regle.

# Regle Rules

Validation rules for Regle. Rules come from `@regle/rules`, but you can also write your own with `createRule`, customize them with wrappers, and combine them with operators.

```ts
import { useRegle } from '@regle/core';
import { required, email, minLength } from '@regle/rules';

const { r$ } = useRegle(
  { email: '' },
  { email: { required, email, minLength: minLength(5) } }
);
```

## Key Concepts

- All rules are optional by default; add `required` to enforce a field.
- Built-in rules are imported from `@regle/rules`; some are factories that take parameters (e.g. `minLength(3)`).
- Custom rules use `createRule` for reusability, or an inline function for one-offs.
- Wrappers adapt an existing rule (message, params, async, tooltip) without rewriting it.
- Operators combine or conditionally apply rules.
