NAME
Validation::Class::Simple::Streamer - Simple Streaming Data Validation
VERSION
version 7.900057
SYNOPSIS
use Validation::Class::Simple::Streamer;
my $params = {
credit_card => '0000000000000000',
email_address => 'root@localhost',
};
my $rules = Validation::Class::Simple::Streamer->new(params => $params);
# the point here is expressiveness
# directive methods auto-validate in boolean context !!!
if (not $rules->check('credit_card')->creditcard(['visa', 'mastercard'])) {
# credit card is invalid visa/mastercard
warn $rules->errors_to_string;
}
if (not $rules->check('email_address')->min_length(3)->email) {
# email address is invalid
warn $rules->errors_to_string;
}
# prepare password for validation
$rules->check('password');
die "Password is not valid"
unless $rules->min_symbols(1) && $rules->matches('password2');
# are you of legal age?
if ($rules->check('member_years_of_age')->between('18-75')) {
# access to explicit content approved
}
# get all fields with errors
my $fields = $rules->error_fields;
# warn with errors if any
warn $rules->errors_to_string unless $rules->validate;
DESCRIPTION
Validation::Class::Simple::Streamer is a simple streaming validation module that makes data validation
fun. Target parameters and attach matching fields and directives to them by chaining together methods
which represent Validation::Class directives. This module is built around the powerful Validation::Class
data validation framework via Validation::Class::Simple. This module is a sub-class of and derived from
the Validation::Class::Simple class.
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. Please
review the "GUIDED-TOUR" in Validation::Class::Cookbook for a detailed step-by-step look into how
Validation::Class works.
METHODS
check
The check method specifies the parameter to be affected by directive methods if/when called.
$self = $self->check('email_address'); # focus on email_address
$self->required; # apply the Required directive to email_address
$self->min_symbols(1); # apply the MinSymbols directive to email_address
$self->min_length(5); # apply the MinLength directive to email_address
clear
The clear method resets the validation queue and declared fields but leaves the declared parameters in-
tact, almost like the object state post-instantiation.
$self->clear;
messages
The messages method returns any registered errors as a concatenated string using the "errors_to_string"
in Validation::Class::Prototype method and accepts the same parameters.
print $self->messages;
validate
The validate method uses the validator to perform data validation based on the series and sequence of
commands issued previously. This method is called implicitly whenever the object is used in boolean
context, e.g. in a conditional.
$true = $self->validate;
PROXY METHODS
Each instance of Validation::Class::Simple::Streamer is injected with a few proxy methods which are
basically aliases to the corresponding prototype class methods, however it is possible to access the
prototype directly using the proto/prototype methods.
