Approach to extending identityCard rule

[emrahoruc]

v::identityCard(string $countryCode)
https://respect-validation.readthedocs.io/en/1.1/rules/IdentityCard/

The identityCard rule currently only accepts verifying the Polish Identity Card numbers.
I added my own rule.
But... I couldn't add the classes to my own namespace(MyApp), so I added them to composer.json to load them.

Is my approach correct?

# src/Libraries/Validation/Rules/Locale/XxIdentityCard.php
<?php

namespace Respect\Validation\Rules\Locale;

use Respect\Validation\Rules\AbstractRule;

class XxIdentityCard extends AbstractRule
{
    public function validate($input)
    {
        // codes...
        return true;
    }
}

# src/Libraries/Validation/Exceptions/Locale/XxIdentityCardException.php
<?php

namespace Respect\Validation\Exceptions\Locale;

use Respect\Validation\Exceptions\ValidationException;

class XxIdentityCardException extends ValidationException
{
    /**
     * @var array
     */
    public static $defaultTemplates = [
        self::MODE_DEFAULT => [
            self::STANDARD => '{{name}} must be a valid Xx Identity Card number',
        ],
        self::MODE_NEGATIVE => [
            self::STANDARD => '{{name}} must not be a valid Xx Identity Card number',
        ],
    ];
}

# composer.json
...
"autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
          "MyApp\\": "src/",
          "Respect\\Validation\\Rules\\Locale\\": "src/Libraries/Validation/Rules/Locale/",
          "Respect\\Validation\\Exceptions\\Locale\\": "src/Libraries/Validation/Exceptions/Locale/"
        }
    },
...

Then composer dump-autoload

if i understood correctly, you just want to add a new rule. on version 2.2.x, i'm doin' this in order to create "extra" rules:
\Respect\Validation\Factory::setDefaultInstance((new \Respect\Validation\Factory())->withRuleNamespace('\\Validators\\Respect\\Rules')->withExceptionNamespace('\\Validators\\Respect\\Exceptions'));

Validators\Respect\Rules -> the directory where the rule class will be
Validators\Respect\Exceptions -> the directory where the exception class will be

Hi @andus4n, first of all thank you for your response.

I already have extra rules with v::with('MyApp\\Libraries\\Validation\\Rules\\'); in version 1.1.

I don't think I'll be able to set the namespace in my XxIdentityCard class to MyApp due to the approach outlined below.
https://github.com/Respect/Validation/blob/1.1/library/Rules/IdentityCard.php#L23

        $className = __NAMESPACE__.'\\Locale\\'.$shortName;
        if (!class_exists($className)) {
            throw new ComponentException(sprintf('There is no support for identity cards from "%s"', $countryCode));
        }

Alternatively, I could create my own IdentityCard class and define the Locale classes within my own namespace.
