DESCRIPTION

This plugin provide auto validation to Plugin::FormValidator::Simple.

You can define validation profiles into config or YAML file, and no longer have to write it in actions.

BUNDLING ERROR MESSAGES

With 0.08 or earlier version, you need define validator profiles and error messages in separately.

So, you had to write two settings like this:

# profiles.yml
action1:
  param1:
    - NOT_BLANK

# messages.yml
action1:
  param1:
    NOT_BLANK: param1 is required!

It's bothered!

Since 0.09, you can place error messages in profiles config.

Above two configs is equals to:

# profiles.yml
action1:
  param1:
    - rule: NOT_BLANK
      message: param1 is required!

METHODS

validator_profile

form_messages

form_messages( 'key' );

Return error messages about current validator profile.

If the key isn't presented, return all messages as hash.

EXTENDED METHODS
