SYNOPSIS
my $v = Data::Transpose::Validator::Base->new;
ok($v->is_valid("string"), "A string is valid");
ok($v->is_valid([]), "Empty array is valid");
ok($v->is_valid({}), "Empty hash is valid");

new()
Constructor. It accepts an hash with the options.
required
Set or retrieve the required option. Returns true if required, false otherwise.
dtv_options
Set or retrieve the Data::Transpose::Validator options. Given that the various classes have a different way to initialize the objects, this should be done only once the object has been built.
E.g.
my $obj = $class->new(%classoptions);
$obj->dtv_options(\%dtv_options);dtv_value
On transposing, the value of the field is stored here.
reset_dtv_value
Delete the dtv_value from the object
is_valid($what)
Main method. Return true if the variable passed is defined, false if it's undefined, storing an error.
error
Main method to check why the validator returned false. When an argument is provided, set the error.
In scalar context it returns a human-readable string with the errors.
In list context it returns the raw error list, where each element is a pair of code and strings.
reset_errors
Clear the errors stored.
error_codes
Returns the list of the error codes for the current validation.
warnings
Set or retrieve a list of warnings issued by the validator.
