VERSION

version 0.110190

SYNOPSIS

    use Dancer;
    use Dancer::Plugin::ValidationClass;

    post '/authenticate/:login' => sub {
        unless (validate 'login', 'password') {
            return validation->errors;
        }
    };

    dance;

DESCRIPTION

This plugin provides a convenient wrapper around the Validation::Class module for easy, reusable data validation for your Dancer applications. You don't even need to configure it unless your environment isn't a typical one.

CONFIGURATION

Connection details will be optionally grabbed from your Dancer config file. For example:

    plugins:
      ValidationClass:
        class: Foo::Bar
        
    or
    
    plugins:
      ValidationClass:
        class: lib/Foo/Bar.pm

If no configuration information is given, this plugin will attempt to use the application's name, as set in the configuration file, and assume the class is $AppName::Validation under the lib directory.

METHODS

validate

This method return true or false based on whether or not the user-input has passed the validation rules.

    1 if validate 'login', 'password';
    1 if validate {
        login => 'users:login',
        passw => 'users:password'
    };

validation

This method returns the current Validation::Class instance if one exists.

    unless ( validate 'login', 'password' ) {
        return validation->errors;
    }
