NAME

Params::Check::Item - checks the type or value of an item at any point during execution

VERSION

Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

Params::Check::Items exports a bunch of utility functions for checking the values of items through Carp::Assert. It is different than other parameter checking modules since it has low configuration overhead and you are expected to check one parameter at a time, instead of creating a giant hash of all the valid values for all the parameters, such as Params::Check. All exported functions optionally take in a message parameter at the end that is displayed if Carp::Assert fails.

If you would like to disable the checks, you must set the environment variable PARAMS_CHECK_ITEM_OFF=1. Note that this can be toggled on and off during runtime.

An example:

use Params::Check::Item;
sub myFunc {
  my ($row, $col, $matrix) = @_[0..2];
  checkIndex($row, "row not an index");
  checkIndex($col, "col not an index");
  checkClass($matrix, "My::Matrix::Type", "invalid matrix");
  $matrix->get($row, $col);
}

SUBROUTINES

All exported subroutines take in an optional string message, [MSG], to display on failure. Addtionally, the subroutines will not perform the check if the environment variable PARAMS_CHECK_ITEM_OFF is set.

checkNumber NUM,[MSG]

checks that NUM is numeric type

checkInteger NUM,[MSG]

checks that NUM is an integer

checkIndex NUM,[MSG]

checks that NUM is a valid index (e.g., 0,1,2,3...)

checkClass OBJECT,CLASSNAME,[MSG]

checks that OBJECT is a blessed object from class of name CLASSNAME

checkNumEQ NUM1,NUM2,[MSG]

checks that NUM1 == NUM2

checkNumNEQ NUM1,NUM2,[MSG]

checks that NUM1 != NUM2

checkNumLT NUM1,NUM2,[MSG]

checks that NUM1 < NUM2

checkNumLTE NUM1,NUM2,[MSG]

checks that NUM1 <= NUM2

checkOneOf ITEM,ARRAYREF,[MSG]

checks that simple item ITEM is present in the array referenced by ARRAYREF. This simply performs string comparison. It must be an exact match with one of the items in the array to pass.

checkImpl [MSG]

simply fails and says "Not Implemented: [MSG]". good for stubbing out functions.
