Valida...:Simple(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so real quick — this is Validation::Class::Simple — Simple Ad-Hoc Data Validation ✨ (and yes bestie, it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, section 3pm, we love a community moment 🫶)

---

🌈 VERSION 🌈

version 7.900059 — iconic, no notes 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the vibe, copy-paste ready:

use Validation::Class::Simple;

my $params = {
    name  => 'Root',
    email => 'root@localhost',
    pass  => 's3cret',
    pass2 => 's2cret'
};

# define object specific rules
my $rules = Validation::Class::Simple->new(
    # define fields on-the-fly
    fields => {
        name  => { required => 1 },
        email => { required => 1 },
        pass  => { required => 1 },
        pass2 => { required => 1, matches => 'pass' },
    }
);

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

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

like… it's giving "declare your rules, feed it params, check if it ate" 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Validation::Class::Simple is a simple validation module built around the powerful Validation::Class data validation framework.

This module is merely a blank canvas, a clean validation class derived from Validation::Class which has not been pre-configured (e.g. configured via keywords, etc).

It can be useful in an environment where you wouldn't care to create a validation class and instead would simply like to pass rules to a validation engine in an ad-hoc fashion.

fr fr it's a blank canvas — nothing pre-baked, just vibes and rules ✨

---

🌸 QUICKSTART 🌸

If you are looking for a data validation module with an even lower learning curve built using the same tenets and principles as Validation::Class which is as simple and even lazier than this module, please review the documentation for Validation::Class::Simple::Streamer.

Please review the "GUIDED-TOUR" in Validation::Class::Cookbook for a detailed step-by-step look into how Validation::Class works.

---

🧚 RATIONALE 🧚

If you are new to Validation::Class, or would like more information on the underpinnings of this library and how it views and approaches data validation, please review Validation::Class::Whitepaper.

---

👑 PROXY METHODS 👑

Each instance of Validation::Class::Simple is associated with a prototype class which provides the data validation engine and keeps the class namespace free from pollution and collisions, please see Validation::Class::Prototype for more information on specific methods and attributes.

Validation::Class::Simple is injected with a few proxy methods which are basically aliases to the corresponding prototype (engine) class methods, however it is possible to access the prototype directly using the proto/prototype methods.

the way it keeps the namespace clean?? we stan a tidy queen 🧼✨

💜 EXTENSIBILITY 💜

Validation::Class does NOT provide method modifiers but can be easily extended with Class::Method::Modifiers.

ok so no method modifiers out of the box 😭 but bestie, Class::Method::Modifiers has your back 🫶
