NAME

Valiant::Validator::Presence - Verify that a value is present

SYNOPSIS

use Moo;
has name => (is=>'ro');
validates name => ( presence => 1 );
my $object = Local::Test::Presence->new();
$object->validate;
warn $object->errors->_dump;
$VAR1 = {
'name' => [
'Name can\'t be blank',
]
};

DESCRIPTION

Value must be present (not undefined, not an empty string or a string composed only of whitespace). Uses is_blank as the translation tag and you can set that to override the message.

SHORTCUT FORM

This validator supports the follow shortcut forms:

validates attribute => ( presence => 1, ... );

Which is the same as:

validates attribute => (
presence => +{},
);

Not a lot of saved typing but it seems to read better.

GLOBAL PARAMETERS

This validator supports all the standard shared parameters: if, unless, message, strict, allow_undef, allow_blank.
