NAME Dancer::Plugin::ValidationClass - Centralized Input Validation For Dancer VERSION version 0.110190 SYNOPSIS use Dancer; use Dancer::Plugin::ValidationClass; post '/authenticate/:login' => sub { unless (validate 'login', 'password') { return validation->errors; } }; dance; DESCRIPTION This plugin provides a convenient wrapper around the Validation::Class module for easy, reusable data validation for your Dancer applications. You don't even need to configure it unless your environment isn't a typical one. CONFIGURATION Connection details will be optionally grabbed from your Dancer config file. For example: plugins: ValidationClass: class: Foo::Bar or plugins: ValidationClass: class: lib/Foo/Bar.pm If no configuration information is given, this plugin will attempt to use the application's name, as set in the configuration file, and assume the class is $AppName::Validation under the lib directory. METHODS validate This method return true or false based on whether or not the user-input has passed the validation rules. 1 if validate 'login', 'password'; 1 if validate { login => 'users:login', passw => 'users:password' }; validation This method returns the current Validation::Class instance if one exists. unless ( validate 'login', 'password' ) { return validation->errors; } AUTHOR Al Newkirk COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2010 by awncorp.
