NAME
Sah::Schema::array::num::monotonically_increasing - An array of numbers with monotonically increasing elements
VERSION
This document describes version 0.004 of Sah::Schema::array::num::monotonically_increasing (from Perl distribution Sah-SchemaBundle-Array), released on 2024-02-13.
SAH SCHEMA DEFINITION
[
"array",
{
summary => "An array of numbers with monotonically increasing elements",
prefilters => ["Array::check_elems_numeric_monotonically_increasing"],
of => ["num", { req => 1 }],
},
]
Base type: array
Used prefilters: Array::check_elems_numeric_monotonically_increasing
SYNOPSIS
Sample data and validation results against this schema
{} # INVALID (Not an array)
[] # valid
[1,"a"] # INVALID (Contains a non-numeric element)
[1,undef] # INVALID (Contains an undefined element)
[1,2,2,3] # INVALID (Duplicate elements)
[1,3,2] # INVALID (Not monotonically increasing)
[1,2.9,3] # valid
Using with Data::Sah
To check data against this schema (requires Data::Sah):
use Data::Sah qw(gen_validator);
my $validator = gen_validator("array::num::monotonically_increasing*");
say $validator->($data) ? "valid" : "INVALID!";
The above validator returns a boolean result (true if data is valid, false if otherwise). To return an error message string instead (empty string if data is valid, a non-empty error message otherwise):
my $validator = gen_validator("array::num::monotonically_increasing", {return_type=>'str_errmsg'});
my $errmsg = $validator->($data);
# a sample valid data
$data = [1,2.9,3];
my $errmsg = $validator->($data); # => ""
# a sample invalid data
$data = [1,3,2];
my $errmsg = $validator->($data); # => "Elements not monotonically increasing (check element[2]) "
Often a schema has coercion rule or default value rules, so after validation the validated value will be different from the original. To return the validated (set-as-default, coerced, prefiltered) value:
my $validator = gen_validator("array::num::monotonically_increasing", {return_type=>'str_errmsg+val'});
my $res = $validator->($data); # [$errmsg, $validated_val]
# a sample valid data
$data = [1,2.9,3];
my $res = $validator->($data); # => ["",[1,2.9,3]]
# a sample invalid data
$data = [1,3,2];
my $res = $validator->($data); # => ["Elements not monotonically increasing (check element[2]) ",[1,3,2]]
Data::Sah can also create validator that returns a hash of detailed error message. Data::Sah can even create validator that targets other language, like JavaScript, from the same schema. Other things Data::Sah can do: show source code for validator, generate a validator code with debug comments and/or log statements, generate human text from schema. See its documentation for more details.
Using with Params::Sah
To validate function parameters against this schema (requires Params::Sah):
use Params::Sah qw(gen_validator);
sub myfunc {
my @args = @_;
state $validator = gen_validator("array::num::monotonically_increasing*");
$validator->(\@args);
...
}
Using with Perinci::CmdLine::Lite
To specify schema in Rinci function metadata and use the metadata with Perinci::CmdLine (Perinci::CmdLine::Lite) to create a CLI:
# in lib/MyApp.pm
package
MyApp;
our %SPEC;
$SPEC{myfunc} = {
v => 1.1,
summary => 'Routine to do blah ...',
args => {
arg1 => {
summary => 'The blah blah argument',
schema => ['array::num::monotonically_increasing*'],
},
...
},
};
sub myfunc {
my %args = @_;
...
}
1;
# in myapp.pl
package
main;
use Perinci::CmdLine::Any;
Perinci::CmdLine::Any->new(url=>'/MyApp/myfunc')->run;
# in command-line
% ./myapp.pl --help
myapp - Routine to do blah ...
...
% ./myapp.pl --version
% ./myapp.pl --arg1 ...
Using on the CLI with validate-with-sah
To validate some data on the CLI, you can use validate-with-sah utility. Specify the schema as the first argument (encoded in Perl syntax) and the data to validate as the second argument (encoded in Perl syntax):
% validate-with-sah '"array::num::monotonically_increasing*"' '"data..."'
validate-with-sah
has several options for, e.g. validating multiple data, showing the generated validator code (Perl/JavaScript/etc), or loading schema/data from file. See its manpage for more details.
Using with Type::Tiny
To create a type constraint and type library from a schema (requires Type::Tiny as well as Type::FromSah):
package My::Types {
use Type::Library -base;
use Type::FromSah qw( sah2type );
__PACKAGE__->add_type(
sah2type('array::num::monotonically_increasing*', name=>'ArrayNumMonotonicallyIncreasing')
);
}
use My::Types qw(ArrayNumMonotonicallyIncreasing);
ArrayNumMonotonicallyIncreasing->assert_valid($data);
DESCRIPTION
Use this schema if you want to accept an array of numbers where the elements are monotonically increasing, i.e. elem(i) > elem(i-1) for all i > 0
. It's similar to the array::num::sorted
schema except that duplicate numbers are not allowed (e.g. [1, 2, 2, 4]
is okay for array::num::sorted
but will fail array::num::monotonically_increasing
).

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
