    ->add('key', new Validation\Validator\StringLength(['min' => 1, 'max' => 10, 'message' => 'key is not between 1 t0 10']))
    ->add('key', new Validation\Validator\Callback([
        'callback' => function($data) {
            return \App\components\Validator::string($data['key'], $data);
        },
        'message' => 'key is not a string',
    ]))->validate($params);
$errors = [];
