NAME

       Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch - Validate ItemSearch requests.

SYNOPSIS

         Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch;

         my $valid   = Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch::factory(search_index => 'Actor');
         my $option  = $itemsearch_valid->user_or_default($input);
         my $default = $itemsearch_valid->default();

DESCRIPTION

       "Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch" is a class used to verify ItemSearch operation based
       on the current version of the WSDL and locale.  For example if an Artist search is
       executed the user can search against Classical, Merchants, or Music.

   METHODS
       factory(search_index => type)
           Constructs a new "Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch" object, used to validate user
           input for a SearchIndex.  Valid types include Actor, Artist, AudienceRating, Author
           Brand, BrowseNode, City, Composer, Condition, Conductor, Count, Cuisine,
           DeliveryMethod, Director, ISPUPostalCode, ItemPage, Keywords, MPAARating,
           Manufacturer, MaximumPrice, MerchantId, MinimumPrice, MusicLabel, Neighborhood,
           Orchestra, Power, Publisher, Sort, TextStream and Title.  Which departments these
           search indexes are valid for is dependent upon locale.

       default()
           Return the default value for a given SearchIndex.  Default are determined in order of
           preference and existence from the following list: Books, Music, DVD, Software.  If
           none of those items are valid for a given SearchIndex then the first valid department
           of said SearchIndex is used.

       user_or_default( $input )
           If user input is specified it validates the input, and return it, otherwise it returns
           the default value for the SearchIndex.

NAME

       Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch - Validate user supplied options against known valid
       options.

SYNOPSIS

         use Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch;

         # ...

         my $valid = Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch::factory(search_index => 'Actor');
         $valid->user_or_default($input);
         $valid->default();

DESCRIPTION

   METHODS
       Asin()
           The item's ASIN number.

       Please check the subclasses of "Net::Amazon::Validate" for specialized methods.

TODO

       I should probably add a function to dispatch calls automatically, that way the user
       doesn't have to explicity call a function to verify an option.  It would make it very easy
       to write loops to validate input.

BUGS

       This library was designed to validate ResponseGroup requests only.  Support for other
       parameters were autogenerated but not verified.  The biggest problems are with the
       intrepration of 'Integers 1 to 30', 'A Merchant ID', or 'Amazon (the default value)'.
