💌 Validation::Class::Directive::Email — the email directive for Validation Class field definitions, bestie 💅

okay so real talk: this is the Validation::Class::Directive::Email page, and it's here to check whether your email addresses are even real or just vibes. it's a core validation class field directive. let's get into it 🦋

✨ VERSION ✨

this is version 7.900059. yes, that many digits. slay 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's how you actually use it, no cap:

use Validation::Class::Simple;

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

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

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

so you make your $rules object, you tell it user_email has email => 1 turned on, you add your params with $rules->params->add($parameters), and then you validate. if it comes back false you handle the failures, because we do not ignore our failures in this house 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Validation::Class::Directive::Email is a core validation class field directive that checks the validity of email addresses specified by the associated parameters. it's giving "does this look like an email" energy and honestly? iconic.

⚠️ okay bestie, important caveat, listen up: the email directive does not perform a host lookup, and it does not conform to the RFC specification. so it is not out here doing DNS detective work or reading RFCs for fun. it's just a vibe check, fr fr.

if you want more sophisticated email validation, please use custom validation with Email::Valid or similar. iykyk 💅
