VERSION

       version 7.900054

SYNOPSIS

           use Validation::Class::Simple;

           my $params = {
               name  => 'Root',
               email => 'root@localhost',
               pass  => 's3cret',
               pass2 => 's2cret'
           };

           # define object specific rules
           my $rules = Validation::Class::Simple->new(
               # define fields on-the-fly
               fields => {
                   name  => { required => 1 },
                   email => { required => 1 },
                   pass  => { required => 1 },
                   pass2 => { required => 1, matches => 'pass' },
               }
           );

           # set parameters to be validated
           $rules->params->add($params);

           # validate
           unless ($rules->validate) {
               # handle the failures
               warn $rules->errors_to_string;
           }

DESCRIPTION

       Validation::Class::Simple is a simple validation module built around the powerful
       Validation::Class data validation framework.

       This module is merely a blank canvas, a clean validation class derived from
       Validation::Class which has not been pre-configured (e.g. configured via keywords, etc).

       It can be useful in an environment where you wouldn't care to create a validation class
       and instead would simply like to pass rules to a validation engine in an ad-hoc fashion.

QUICKSTART

       If you are looking for a data validation module with an even lower learning curve built
       using the same tenets and principles as Validation::Class which is as simple and even
       lazier than this module, please review the documentation for
       Validation::Class::Simple::Streamer. Please review the "GUIDED-TOUR" in
       Validation::Class::Cookbook for a detailed step-by-step look into how Validation::Class
       works.

RATIONALE

       If you are new to Validation::Class, or would like more information on the underpinnings
       of this library and how it views and approaches data validation, please review
       Validation::Class::Whitepaper.

PROXY METHODS

       Each instance of Validation::Class::Simple is associated with a prototype class which
       provides the data validation engine and keeps the class namespace free from pollution and
       collisions, please see Validation::Class::Prototype for more information on specific
       methods and attributes.

       Validation::Class::Simple is injected with a few proxy methods which are basically aliases
       to the corresponding prototype (engine) class methods, however it is possible to access
       the prototype directly using the proto/prototype methods.
