✨ NAME ✨

ok so bestie, welcome to Validation::Class::Directive::Matches — the Matches Directive for Validation Class Field Definitions 💖 this is the little guy that makes sure two fields actually match each other (yes, we're talking password confirmation vibes 🎀)

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 7.900059 (iykyk)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole vibe, copy-paste ready no cap:

use Validation::Class::Simple;

my $rules = Validation::Class::Simple->new(
    fields => {
        password => {
            matches => 'password2'
        }
    }
);

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

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

so you make your rules, you hand over your $parameters with params->add, then you hit validate — and if it comes back false, you gotta deal with the failures yourself. periodt. 💅

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Validation::Class::Directive::Matches is a core validation class field directive that validates whether the value of the dependent parameters matches that of the associated field. 🫶

basically: it checks the dependent params against the field they're associated with, and if they don't line up, that's a fail, bestie. it's giving matching-set energy. ✨

🎀 alternative argument: an-array-of-parameter-names 🎀

ok so this directive can be passed a single value OR an array of values — your choice, main character:

fields => {
    password => {
        matches => ['password2', 'password3']
    }
}

one param or a whole squad, it handles it either way 🌈
