DESCRIPTION

Acme::Web20::Validator is a Web 2.0 Validation module for your website. This module is inspired from Web 2.0 Validator (http://web2.0validator.com/).

The definition of web 2.0 changes on a daily basis but currently supports are:

  UsePrototype
  UseCatalyst
  UseRails
  MentionsWeb20
  UseLighttpd
  HasAnyFeeds
  ReferToDelicious
  XHtmlStrict
  UseCSS
  UseFeedBurner
  HasTrackbackURI

And the Rule is also pluggable with Module::Pluggable, so you can add any rules by yourself. For example:

  package Acme::Web20::Validator::Rule::MyRule;
  use strict;
  use warnings;
  use base qw (Acme::Web20::Validator::Rule);
  __PACKAGE__->name('Your rule's description');

  sub validate {
      my $self = shift;
      my $res = shift; ## HTTP::Response via LWP
      ...
      $self->is_ok(1) if ...;
  }

  1;
