💅 Validation::Class::Directive::MaxSymbols — the 3pm girlies' guide

okay so bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the internet, where we're talking about Validation::Class::Directive::MaxSymbols 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Validation::Class::Directive::MaxSymbols — it's the MaxSymbols Directive for Validation Class Field Definitions, and it's here to count your symbols so you don't have to 🧮✨

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 7.900059 — yes she's got a version, she's got receipts, she's official 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole vibe in code, no cap:

use Validation::Class::Simple;

my $rules = Validation::Class::Simple->new(
    fields => {
        password => {
            max_symbols => 30
        }
    }
);

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

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

so you spin up your $rules, you tell the password field it's got a max_symbols situation going on, you add your $parameters to $rules->params, and then you hit $rules->validate. if it comes back false, you're in the unless block handling the failures 😭 it's giving very much "the vibes were off, deal with it."

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea: Validation::Class::Directive::MaxSymbols is a core validation class field directive 💅

what does she do? she validates the length of non-alphanumeric characters in the parameters that are associated with her. that's it, that's the whole job. she counts the symbols — the little non-alphanumeric gremlins 🙈 — and she checks whether that count is within the limit you set. main character energy, honestly.
