Net::Am...te::Type(3)

🌸 Net::Am...te::Type(3) 🌸

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Net::Amazon::Validate, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally all about checking that the options people hand you are actually, you know, valid. sit down, hydrate, let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

Net::Amazon::Validate — validate user supplied options against known valid options. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's how you actually use it, fr fr:

use Net::Amazon::Validate;

# ...

my $valid = Net::Amazon::Validate::factory(operation => 'ResponseGroup',
                                          );

$valid->ResponseGroup([qw(Small Request)]);
$valid->ResponseGroup('Large');

like… look at her go 😭 she's building a validator with factory, passing operation => 'ResponseGroup', and then she's calling ResponseGroup with a list [qw(Small Request)] and with a plain string 'Large'. both. flexible queen. 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

🎀 METHODS 🎀

• Asin() — the item's ASIN number. that's it, that's the method. 💖

Please check the subclasses of Net::Amazon::Validate for specialized methods. — the base class is not the whole story, babes, go look at what inherits from it. 🧚

---

⭐ TODO ⭐

the author's own note-to-self, and honestly? relatable. 🙈

• "I should probably add a function to dispatch calls automatically, that way the user doesn't have to explicity call a function to verify an option. It would make it very easy to write loops to validate input."

like, auto-dispatch would be so iconic. loops of validation? chef's kiss. but it's not here yet, so don't come for me. 💀

---

💀 BUGS 💀

okay this is the part where we keep it real, because this is a real warning, not a cute one:

This library was designed to validate ResponseGroup requests only. support for other parameters were autogenerated but not verified.

and the biggest problems? they're all about the interpretation of these three things, quoted exactly:

• 'Integers 1 to 30'
• 'A Merchant ID'
• 'Amazon (the default value)'

so like… autogenerated ≠ verified. do not trust it blindly, bestie. that's the whole warning. 🌸
