NAME

Validation::Class::Simple - Drop-in Data Validation Class

VERSION

version 3.3.3

DESCRIPTION

Validation::Class::Simple is a drop-in validation class derived from the Validation::Class framework. This package is intended to be used in situations where a full-fledged validation class is not warranted, e.g. (scripts, etc).

Simply define your data validation profile and execute, much in the same way you would use most other data validation libraries available.

Should you find yourself wanting to switch to a full-fledged validation class using Validation::Class, you could do so very easily as the validation field specification is exactly the same.

SYNOPSIS

use Validation::Class::Simple;

my $profile = {
        'login'  => {
            label      => 'User Login',
            error      => 'Login invalid.',
            required   => 1,
            validation => sub {
                my ($self, $this_field, $all_params) = @_;
                return $this_field->{value} eq 'admin' ? 1 : 0;
            }
        },
        'password'  => {
            label         => 'User Password',
            error         => 'Password invalid.',
            required      => 1,
            validation    => sub {
                my ($self, $this_field, $all_params) = @_;
                return $this_field->{value} eq 'pass' ? 1 : 0;
            }
        }    
    };

  my $input =
  Validation::Class::Simple->new( fields => $profile, params => $params );

unless ( $input->validate ) {
    return $input->errors_to_string;
}
