NAME

Form::Sensible::Validator::Result - Validation results for a given form.

SYNOPSIS

my $result = $form->validate();

if (!$result->is_valid()) {
     foreach my $key ( keys %{$result->error_fields()} ) {
         foreach my $message ( @{ $result->error_fields->{$key} } ) {
                print $message;
         }
     }
}

DESCRIPTION

The Form::Sensible::Validator::Result|Form::Sensible::Validator::Result class is used to store the results of form validation. It is very simple to work with and has some additional methods to make it more familiar to anyone who has used FormValidator::Simple. The additional methods are intended to function similar to the FormValidator::Simple Results class

METHODS

is_valid()

Returns true if the form passed validation, false otherwise.

error_fields

Returns a hashref containing fieldname => error_array pairs. Each field with an error will be present as a key in this hash and the value will be an arrayref containing one or more error messages.

missing_fields

Works exactly as error_fields, only contains only entries for fields that were required but were not present.

add_error($fieldname, $message)

Adds $message as an error on the field provided. There can be more than one error message for a given field.

add_missing($fieldname, $message)

Adds $message as an missing field error on the field provided. Like errors, there can be more than one missing field message for a given field.

The following routines are things that make Form::Sensible::Validator results behave more like FormValidator::Simple|FormValidator::Simple's Result class.

8

has_missing

Returns true if there were missing values in the form;

has_invalid

Returns true if any fields in the form were invalid.

has_error

Returns true if there are any invalid or missing fields with the form validation. Essentially the inverse of is_valid

success

Synonym for is_valid. Returns true if all fields passed validation.

missing($fieldname)

If $fieldname is provided, returns true if the field provided was missing, false otherwise. If no fieldname is provided, returns an array of fieldnames that were missing in the form.

invalid($fieldname)

If $fieldname is provided, returns true if the field provided was invalid, false otherwise. If no fieldname is provided, returns an array of fieldnames that were invalid in the form.

error($fieldname)

If $fieldname is provided, returns true if the field provided was either missing or invalid, false otherwise. If no fieldname is provided, returns an array of fieldnames that were either missing or invalid in the form.

message_for($fieldname)

Returns all the error messages (including errors and missing notifications) for the fieldname provided. Returns an empty array if there are no errors on the given field.
