💖 Validation::Class::Directive::Readonly — the 3pm manual page, bestie edition 💖

Okay so real quick, before we even get into it: this is the manual page for Validation::Class::Directive::Readonly, and yes it lives in section 3pm of your man pages (that's the Perl module section, iykyk). Sit down, hydrate, let's go ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Validation::Class::Directive::Readonly — the Readonly Directive for Validation Class Field Definitions. That's the whole vibe. She's a directive, she handles "readonly", and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 7.900059 — that's the one, don't @ me, that's literally what it says 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the little demo, copied exactly so you can just paste it and go 🫶

use Validation::Class::Simple;

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

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

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

So like — you spin up your Validation::Class::Simple object, you tell it about a field called task_completed, and you mark it readonly => 1. Then you load up your params, you call validate, and if it comes back false you go deal with the failures. That's the whole flow, no notes 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So Validation::Class::Directive::Readonly is a core validation class field directive. And what does a readonly directive actually do, you ask? The way that it determines whether the associated parameters should be ignored. That's it. That's her job. Iconic behaviour honestly 😌

mwah, go validate something 💅
