NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::AdditionalValidationChecks - Add additional validation checks

VERSION

version 0.18

SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
# Mojolicious
$self->plugin('AdditionalValidationChecks');
# Controller
my $validation = $self->validation;
$validation->input({ nr => 3 });
$validation->required( 'nr' )->max( 10 );

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Plugin::AdditionalValidationChecks adds a few validation checks to the Mojolicious validator.

NOTE

The behaviour of empty strings changed in Mojolicious 8.34. So e.g. this was valid before 8.34 and is now invalid:


            

              
              
my $validation = $self->validation;
$validation->input({ nr => '' });
$validation->required( 'nr' )->phone();

CHECKS

These checks are added:

email

Checks that the given value is a valid email. It uses Email::Valid.

simple check

This does only check whether the given mailaddress is valid or not


            

              
              
my $validation = $self->validation;
$validation->input({ email_address => 'dummy@test.example' });
$validation->required( 'email_address' )->email();

check also MX

Check if there's a mail host for it


            

              
              
my $validation = $self->validation;
$validation->input({ email_address => 'dummy@test.example' });
$validation->required( 'email_address' )->email(-mxcheck => 1);

phone

Checks if the given value is a phone number:


            

              
              
my $validation = $self->validation;
$validation->input({ nr => '+49 123 / 1321352' });
$validation->required( 'nr' )->phone(); # valid
$validation->input({ nr => '00 123 / 1321352' });
$validation->required( 'nr' )->phone(); # valid
$validation->input({ nr => '0123 / 1321352' });
$validation->required( 'nr' )->phone(); # valid

min

Checks a number for a minimum value. If a non-number is passed, it's always invalid


            

              
              
my $validation = $self->validation;
$validation->input({ nr => 3 });
$validation->required( 'nr' )->min( 10 ); # not valid
$validation->required( 'nr' )->min( 2 );  # valid
$validation->input({ nr => 'abc' });
$validation->required( 'nr' )->min( 10 ); # not valid

max

Checks a number for a maximum value. If a non-number is passed, it's always invalid


            

              
              
my $validation = $self->validation;
$validation->input({ nr => 3 });
$validation->required( 'nr' )->max( 10 ); # not valid
$validation->required( 'nr' )->max( 2 );  # valid
$validation->input({ nr => 'abc' });
$validation->required( 'nr' )->max( 10 ); # not valid

length

In contrast to the size "built-in", this check also allows to omit the maximum length.


            

              
              
my $validation = $self->validation;
$validation->input({ word => 'abcde' });
$validation->required( 'word' )->length( 2, 5 ); # valid
$validation->required( 'word' )->length( 2 );  # valid
$validation->required( 'word' )->length( 8, 10 ); # not valid

int

Checks if a number is an integer. If a non-number is passed, it's always invalid


            

              
              
my $validation = $self->validation;
$validation->input({ nr => 3 });
$validation->required( 'nr' )->int(); # valid
$validation->input({ nr => 'abc' });
$validation->required( 'nr' )->int(); # not valid
$validation->input({ nr => '3.0' });
$validation->required( 'nr' )->int(); # not valid

http_url

Checks if a given string is an absolute URL with http or https scheme.


            

              
              
my $validation = $self->validation;
$validation->input({ url => 'http://perl-services.de' });
$validation->required( 'url' )->http_url(); # valid
$validation->input({ url => 'https://metacpan.org' });
$validation->required( 'url' )->http_url(); # valid
$validation->input({ url => 3 });
$validation->required( 'url' )->http_url(); # not valid
$validation->input({ url => 'mailto:dummy@example.com' });
$validation->required( 'url' )->http_url(); # not valid

not

The opposite of in.


            

              
              
my $validation = $self->validation;
$validation->input({ id => '3' });
$validation->required( 'id' )->not( 2, 5 ); # valid
$validation->required( 'id' )->not( 2 );  # valid
$validation->required( 'id' )->not( 3, 8, 10 ); # not valid
$validation->required( 'id' )->not( 3 );  # not valid

color

Checks if the given value is a "color". There are three flavours of colors:

  • rgb

    
            
    
              
              
    my $validation = $self->validation;
    $validation->input({ color => 'rgb(11,22,33)' });
    $validation->required( 'color' )->color( 'rgb' ); # valid
    $validation->input({ color => 'rgb(11, 22, 33)' });
    $validation->required( 'color' )->color( 'rgb' ); # valid
    $validation->input({ color => 'rgb(11%,22%,33%)' });
    $validation->required( 'color' )->color( 'rgb' ); # valid
    $validation->input({ color => 'rgb(11%, 22%, 33%)' });
    $validation->required( 'color' )->color( 'rgb' ); # valid

  • rgba

    
            
    
              
              
    my $validation = $self->validation;
    $validation->input({ color => 'rgba(11,22,33,0)' });
    $validation->required( 'color' )->color( 'rgba' ); # valid
    $validation->input({ color => 'rgb(11, 22, 33,0.0)' });
    $validation->required( 'color' )->color( 'rgba' ); # valid
    $validation->input({ color => 'rgb(11, 22, 33,0.6)' });
    $validation->required( 'color' )->color( 'rgba' ); # valid
    $validation->input({ color => 'rgb(11%,22%,33%, 1)' });
    $validation->required( 'color' )->color( 'rgba' ); # valid
    $validation->input({ color => 'rgb(11%, 22%, 33%, 1.0)' });
    $validation->required( 'color' )->color( 'rgba' ); # valid

  • hex

    
            
    
              
              
    my $validation = $self->validation;
    $validation->input({ color => '#afe' });
    $validation->required( 'color' )->color( 'hex' ); # valid
    $validation->input({ color => '#affe12' });
    $validation->required( 'color' )->color( 'hex' ); # valid

uuid

As there are different variants of UUIDs, you can check for those variants

  • uuid - all

    This is the default variant

    
            
    
              
              
    my $validation = $self->validation;
    $validation->input({ uuid => 'A987FBC9-4BED-3078-CF07-9141BA07C9F3' });
    $validation->required( 'uuid' )->uuid();        # valid
    $validation->required( 'uuid' )->uuid( 'all' ); # valid

  • variant 3

    
            
    
              
              
    my $validation = $self->validation;
    $validation->input({ uuid => 'A987FBC9-4BED-3078-CF07-9141BA07C9F3' });
    $validation->required( 'uuid' )->uuid( 3 ); # valid

  • variant 4

    
            
    
              
              
    my $validation = $self->validation;
    $validation->input({ uuid => '713ae7e3-cb32-45f9-adcb-7c4fa86b90c1' });
    $validation->required( 'uuid' )->uuid( 4 ); # valid

  • variant 5

    
            
    
              
              
    my $validation = $self->validation;
    $validation->input({ uuid => '987FBC97-4BED-5078-AF07-9141BA07C9F3' });
    $validation->required( 'uuid' )->uuid( 5 ); # valid

$validation->required( 'float' )->float(); # valid
$validation->input({ float => '0.123e1' });
$validation->required( 'float' )->float(); # valid
$validation->input({ float => '0.123E-13' });
$validation->required( 'float' )->float(); # valid

$validation->required( 'ip' )->ip(); # valid
$validation->input({ ip => '255.255.255.255' });
