🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so here's how you actually use her, no cap:

use Validation::Class::Simple;

my $rules = Validation::Class::Simple->new(
    fields => {
        company_email => {
            pattern => qr/\@company\.com$/
        }
    }
);

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

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

like, you set the params, you validate, and if it flops you deal with the failures. simple as that, fr fr 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Validation::Class::Directive::Pattern is a core validation class field directive that validates simple patterns and complex regular expressions. she's not picky, she does both. versatile queen. 👑

• alternative argument: an-array-of-something

so you can pass this directive either a regexp object OR a simple pattern. and what's a simple pattern, you ask? it's a string where the # character matches digits and the X character matches alphabetic characters. iykyk 💫

so like:

fields => {
    task_date => {
        pattern => '##-##-####'
    },
    task_time => {
        pattern => '##:##:##'
    }
}

see how ##-##-#### is giving date and ##:##:## is giving time? the #s are your lil digit placeholders. it's literally that easy bestie 🌈
