check

$validation = $validation->check('size', 2, 7);

Perform validation check on all values of the current "topic", no more checks will be performed on them after the first one failed. All checks from "CHECKS" in Mojolicious::Validator are supported.

csrf_protect

$validation = $validation->csrf_protect;

Validate csrf_token and protect from cross-site request forgery.

error

my $err     = $validation->error('foo');
$validation = $validation->error(foo => ['custom_check']);

Get or set details for failed validation check, at any given time there can only be one per field.

# Details about failed validation
my ($check, $result, @args) = @{$validation->error('foo')};

every_param

my $values = $validation->every_param('foo');

Similar to "param", but returns all values sharing the same name as an array reference.

# Get first value
my $first = $validation->every_param('foo')->[0];

failed

my $names = $validation->failed;

Return an array reference with all names for values that failed validation.

# Names of all values that failed
say for @{$validation->failed};

has_data

my $bool = $validation->has_data;

Check if "input" is available for validation.

has_error

my $bool = $validation->has_error;
my $bool = $validation->has_error('foo');

Check if validation resulted in errors, defaults to checking all fields.

is_valid

my $bool = $validation->is_valid;
my $bool = $validation->is_valid('foo');

Check if validation was successful and field has a value, defaults to checking the current "topic".

optional

$validation = $validation->optional('foo');
$validation = $validation->optional('foo', 'filter1', 'filter2');

Change validation "topic" and apply filters. All filters from "FILTERS" in Mojolicious::Validator are supported.

# Trim value and check size
$validation->optional('user', 'trim')->size(1, 15);

param

my $value = $validation->param('foo');

Access validated values. If there are multiple values sharing the same name, and you want to access more than just the last one, you can use "every_param".

passed

my $names = $validation->passed;

Return an array reference with all names for values that passed validation.

# Names of all values that passed
say for @{$validation->passed};

required

$validation = $validation->required('foo');
$validation = $validation->required('foo', 'filter1', 'filter2');

Change validation "topic", apply filters, and make sure a value is present and not an empty string. All filters from "FILTERS" in Mojolicious::Validator are supported.All filters from "FILTERS" in Mojolicious::Validator are supported.

# Trim value and check size
$validation->required('user', 'trim')->size(1, 15);

AUTOLOAD

In addition to the "ATTRIBUTES" and "METHODS" above, you can also call validation checks provided by "validator" on Mojolicious::Validator::Validation objects, similar to "check".

# Call validation checks
$validation->required('foo')->size(2, 5)->like(qr/^[A-Z]/);
$validation->optional('bar')->equal_to('foo');
$validation->optional('baz')->in('test', '123');

# Longer version
$validation->required('foo')->check('size', 2, 5)->check('like', qr/^[A-Z]/);
