Not that is publicly available. I use it in several CRUD type apps as well as one SAAS style app. It is pretty simple and easy to integrate. I have a `getValidator` function in my Models (Eloquent) that returns true/false if the model validates. In my controllers I just check if the model is valid before saving to the DB or tossing back to the user to adjust input.
