Valida...itcard(3pm)

💳 Validation::Class::Directive::Creditcard — the creditcard directive, bestie

okay so real quick, the manual name is Valida...itcard(3pm) (yes the title is truncated, that's just how the page header renders it, don't come for me) and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section. It's the Validation::Class::Directive::Creditcard page — aka the Creditcard Directive for Validation Class Field Definitions. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, copy-paste ready:

use Validation::Class::Simple;

my $rules = Validation::Class::Simple->new(
    fields => {
        person_cc  => {
            creditcard => 1
        }
    }
);

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

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

so you build your rules, you add your $parameters to $rules->params, and then you validate — and if it comes back false, unless catches it and you handle the failures. that's it, that's the whole loop 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Validation::Class::Directive::Creditcard is a core validation class field directive that provides validation for american express, bankcard, diners card, discover card, electron, enroute, jcb, maestro, mastercard, solo, switch, visa and voyager credit cards. literally all of them. no cap. 🫶

• alternative argument: an-array-of-options
• option: amex
• option: bankcard
• option: diners
• option: disc
• option: electron
• option: enroute
• option: jcb
• option: maestro
• option: mastercard
• option: solo
• option: switch
• option: visa
• option: voyager

the way that this directive can be passed a single value or an array of values — both are valid, you're not doing it wrong either way:

fields => {
    person_cc  => {
        creditcard => ['visa', 'mastercard']
    }
}

look at that array of options just doing its little thing. iconic behavior tbh 🌈✨
