NAME

Brannigan::Tree - A Brannigan validation/parsing scheme tree, possibly built from a series of inherited schemes.

VERSION

version 0.8

DESCRIPTION

This module is used internally by Brannigan. Basically, a tree is a validation/parsing scheme in its "final", workable structure, taking any inherited schemes into account. The actual validation and parsing of input is done by this module.

MODULES

new( $scheme | @schemes )

Creates a new Brannigan::Tree instance from one or more schemes.

process( \%params )

Validates and parses the hash-ref of input parameters. Returns a hash-ref of the parsed input, possibly containing a '_rejects' hash-ref with a list of failed validations for each failed parameter.

validate( \%params )

Validates the hash-ref of input parameters and returns a hash-ref of rejects (i.e. failed validation methods) for each parameter.

parse( \%params, \%param_rules, [\%group_rules] )

Receives a hash-ref of parameters, a hash-ref of parameter rules (this is the 'params' part of a scheme) and optionally a hash-ref of group rules (this is the 'groups' part of a scheme), parses the parameters according to these rules and returns a hash-ref of all the parameters after parsing.

INTERNAL METHODS

_validate_param( $param, $value, \%validations )

Receives the name of a parameter, its value, and a hash-ref of validations to assert against. Returns a list of validations that failed for this parameter. Depending on the type of the parameter (either scalar, hash or array), this method will call one of the following three methods.

_validate_scalar( $param, $value, \%validations, [$type] )

Receives the name of a parameter, its value, and a hash-ref of validations to assert against. Returns a list of all failed validations for this parameter. If the parameter is a child of a hash/array parameter, then $type must be provided with either 'hash' or 'array'.

_validate_array( $param, $value, \%validations )

Receives the name of an array parameter, its value, and a hash-ref of validations to assert against. Returns a list of validations that failed for this parameter.

_validate_hash( $param, $value, \%validations )

Receives the name of a hash parameter, its value, and a hash-ref of validations to assert against. Returns a list of validations that failed for this parameter.

_merge_trees( @trees )

Merges two or more hash-refs of validation/parsing trees and returns the resulting tree. The merge is performed in order, so trees later in the array (i.e. on the right) "tramp" the trees on the left.
