This validator works like (sheet: validators/max) but it always checks for string length, even if a numeric value is given. The max validator will check for the value of the number in that case.

In your code

if (V::maxLength('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.', 10)) {
  echo 'Yay, valid!';
}

fields:
  example:
    label: Example field
