Valida...::Alias(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Validation::Class::Directive::Alias — the Alias Directive for Validation Class Field Definitions, bestie 💖 (you'll see it as Valida...::Alias(3pm) in your man pager because man pages love to truncate things, but that's the one)

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 7.900059 — yes we're on the 7.900059 era, iconic behavior

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here's the vibe, literally just:

use Validation::Class::Simple;

my $rules = Validation::Class::Simple->new(
    fields => {
        login  => {
            alias => 'username'
        }
    }
);

# set parameters to be validated
$rules->params->add($parameters);

# validate
unless ($rules->validate) {
    # handle the failures
}

like, you set up your field with an alias, you add your $parameters, you run validate, and if it's giving failure you handle it. no cap. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Validation::Class::Directive::Alias is a core validation class field directive and its whole job — its moment, its purpose, its main character arc — is giving you the ability to map arbitrary parameter names with a field's parameter value. that's it. that's the directive. 🫶

• alternative argument: an-array-of-aliases 🌈

bestie listen, this directive can be passed a single value or an array of values. both are valid. she contains multitudes:

fields => {
    login  => {
        alias => ['username', 'email_address']
    }
}

so now login is answering to username AND email_address. one field, many names, very much the way that a queen with several aliases operates 👑
