📋 USAGE EXAMPLES

Basic Security Validation

$validator = new SecurityValidator();
$request = $_POST; // User input

$result = $validator->validateRequest(
    $request, 
    'care_toggle_restriction', 
    'manage_care_restrictions'
);

if (!$result->isValid()) {
    wp_send_json_error([
        'message' => $result->getFirstError(),
        'security_score' => $result->getSecurityScore()
    ], 403);
}

// Use sanitized data
$sanitizedData = $result->getSanitizedData();

AJAX Integration

// In SecurityIntegration.php
add_action('wp_ajax_care_toggle_restriction', 
    [$this, 'validateToggleRestriction']
);

public function validateToggleRestriction(): void {
    // Full 7-layer validation automatically applied
    // XSS, CSRF, rate limiting, capabilities all checked
}

Custom Capability Checking

$capabilityChecker = new CapabilityChecker();

// Check single capability
$result = $capabilityChecker->checkCapability('manage_care_restrictions');

// Check multiple capabilities (user must have ALL)
$result = $capabilityChecker->checkMultipleCapabilities([
    'manage_care_restrictions',
    'view_care_reports'
]);

// Check contextual capability
$result = $capabilityChecker->checkContextualCapability(
    'manage_care_restrictions',
    ['restriction_owner' => 123]
);
