NAME

Form::Sensible::Validator - Default Validator for Form::Sensible forms

SYNOPSIS

use Form::Sensible::Validator;

my $object = Form::Sensible::Validator->new();

$validator_result = $object->validate($form);

DESCRIPTION

Form::Sensible::Validator performs the grunt work of validating a form. It understands how to handle regex based field validation as well as coderef based field validation. It also is responsible for calling field-type specific validation. Usually this class is not manipulated directly. Instead, $form->validate() is used, which in turn calls the validator already associated with the form (or creates one if none is already defined).

METHODS

validate($form)

Performs validation of a Form. Returns a Form::Sensible::Validator::Result object with the results of form validation for the passed form.

validate_field_with_regex($field, $regex)

Internal routine to perform regex based validation of a field.

validate_field_with_coderef($field, $coderef)

Internal routine to perform code based validation of a field. When called, the $coderef is called with the field's value as the first argument, and the field itself as the second:

$coderef->($field_value, $field);

The subroutine is expected to return 0 on successful validation, or an appropriate error message on failed validation. This may seem somewhat confusing, returning 0 on a valid field. It may help to think of the coderef as being the equivalent of a is_field_invalid() routine.
