NAME
Mojolicious::Plugin::Vparam - Mojolicious plugin validator for GET/POST data.
DESCRIPTION
Features:
Simple syntax or full featured
Many predefined types
Filters complementary types
Support arrays of values
Support HTML checkbox as bool
Validate all parameters at once and get hash to simple use in any Model
Manage validation errors
Full Mojolicious::Validator::Validation integration
This module use simple parameters types str, int, email, bool, etc. to validate. Instead of many other modules you mostly not need add specific validation subs or rules. Just set parameter type. But if you want sub or regexp you can do it too.
SYNOPSIS
# Add plugin in startup
$self->plugin('Vparam');
# Use in controller
$login = $self->vparam(login => 'str');
$passw = $self->vparam(password => 'password', size => [8, 100]);
$email = $self->vparam(email => 'email', optional => 1);
METHODS
vparam
Get one parameter. By default parameter is required.
# Simple get one parameter
$param1 = $self->vparam(date => 'datetime');
# Or more syntax
$param2 = $self->vparam(count => {type => 'int', default => 1});
# Or more simple syntax
$param2 = $self->vparam(count => 'int', default => 1);
vparams
Get many parameters as hash. By default all parameters are required.
%params = $self->vparams(
# Simple syntax
name => 'str',
password => qr{^\w{,32}$},
myparam => sub { $_[1] && $_[1] eq 'ok' ? 1 : 0 } },
someone => ['one', 'two', 'tree'],
# More syntax
from => { type => 'date', default => '' },
to => { type => 'date', default => '' },
id => { type => 'int' },
money => { regexp => qr{^\d+(?:\.\d{2})?$} },
myparam => { post => sub { $_[1] && $_[1] eq 'ok' ? 1 : 0 } },
# Checkbox
isa => { type => 'bool', default => 0 },
);
vsort
Like vparams but add some keys to simple use with tables. Example:
# HTML - table with controls and filters
Order by:
<select name="oby">
<option value="0">Name</option>
<option value="1">Date</option>
</select>
Order direction:
<select name="ods">
<option value="asc">Low to High</option>
<option value="desc">High to Low</option>
</select>
Count per page:
<select name="rws">
<option value="10">10</option>
<option value="100">100</option>
</select>
Filter by name:
<input type="text" name="name" value="">
Any other filters ...
# Controller
%params = $self->vsort(
-sort => ['name', 'date', ...],
# next as vparams
name => 'text',
...
);
- page
-
Page number. Default: 1.
You can set different name by vsort_page config parameter. If you set undef then parameter is not apply.
- rws
-
Rows on page. Default: 25.
You can set different name by vsort_rws config parameter. You can set different default by vsort_rows config parameter. If you set undef then parameter is not apply.
- oby
-
Column number for sorting. Default: 1 - in many cases first database column is primary key.
You can set different name by vsort_oby config parameter. If you set undef then parameter is not apply.
Value of oby The value will be automatically mapped to the column name using the "-sort" attribute. Also, the value will be checked for proper mapping. So you do not need to worry about it.
- ods
-
Sort order ASC|DESC. Default: ASC.
You can set different name by vsort_ods config parameter. If you set undef then parameter is not apply.
verror $name
Get parameter error string. Return 0 if no error.
# Get error
print $self->verror('myparam') || 'Ok';
# Set error
$self->verror('myparam', {message => 'Error message'})
vclass $name, @classes
Get classes for invalid input. Return empty string if no error.
# Form example
<input name="myparam" class="<%= vclass 'myparam' %>">
# Return next code for invalid I<myparam>:
# <input name="myparam" class="field-with-error">
You can set additional @classes to set if field invalid.
vvalue $name, $default
Get raw input value after validation. Return $default value or empty string before validation.
# Form example:
<input name="myparam" value="<%= vvalue 'myparam' %>">
# Return next code if user just open form without submit and validation:
# <input name="myparam" value="">
# Then user submit form and you validate id. For example user submit "abc":
# <input name="myparam" value="abc">
verrors
Return erorrs count in scalar context. In list context return erorrs hash.
# List context get hash
my %errors = $self->verrors;
# Scalar context get count
die 'Errors!' if $self->verrors;
vtype $name, %opts
Set new type $name if defined %opts. Else return type $name definition.
# Get type
$self->vtype('mytype');
# Set type
# pre - get int
# valid - check for not empty
# post - force number
$self->vtype('mytype',
pre => sub {
my ($self, $param) = @_;
return int $param // '';
},
valid => sub {
my ($self, $param) = @_;
return length $param ? 0 : 'Invalid'
},
post => sub {
my ($self, $param) = @_;
return 0 + $param;
}
);
vfilter $name, &sub
Set new filter $name if defined %opts. Else return filter $name definition.
# Get filter
$self->vfilter('myfilter');
# Set filter
$self->vfilter('myfilter', sub {
my ($self, $param, $expression) = @_;
return $param eq $expression ? 0 : 'Invalid';
});
Filter sub must return 0 if parameter value is valid. Or error string if not.
SIMPLE SYNTAX
You can use the simplified syntax instead of specifying the type, simply by using an expression instead.
- REGEXP
-
Apply as "regexp" filter. No type verification, just match.
$self->vparam(myparam => qr{^(abc|cde)$});
- CODE $mojo, $value
-
Apply as "post" function. You need manual verify and set error.
$self->vparam(myparam => sub { $_[1] && $_[1] eq 'good' ? 1 : 0 });
- ARRAY
-
Apply as "in" filter. No type verification, just match.
$self->vparam(myparam => [qw(abc cde)]);

ATTRIBUTES
You can set a simple mode as in example or full mode. Full mode keys:
- default
-
Default value. Default: undef.
# Supress myparam to be undefined and error $self->vparam(myparam => 'str', default => '');
- pre $mojo, &sub
-
Incoming filter sub. Used for primary filtration: string length and trim, etc. Result will be used as new param value.
Usually, if you need this attribute, you need to create a new type.
- valid $mojo, &sub
-
Validation sub. Return 0 if valid, else string of error.
Usually, if you need this attribute, you need to create a new type.
- post $mojo, &sub
-
Out filter sub. Used to modify value for use in you program. Usually used to bless in some object. Result will be used as new param value.
- type
-
Parameter type. If set then some filters will be apply. See "TYPES".
$self->vparam(myparam => 'datetime');
After the application of the type used filters.
- array
-
Force value will array. Default: false.
You can force values will arrays by @ prefix or array[...].
# Arrays $param1 = $self->vparam(array1 => '@int'); $param2 = $self->vparam(array2 => 'array[int]'); $param3 = $self->vparam(array3 => 'int', array => 1); # The array will come if more than one value incoming # Example: http://mysite.us?array4=123&array4=456... $param4 = $self->vparam(array4 => 'int');
- optional
-
By default all parameters are required. You can change this for parameter by set "optional". Then true and value is not passed validation don`t set verrors.
# Simple vparam # myparam is undef but no error. $param6 = $self->vparam(myparam => 'int', optional => 1); # Set one in vparams %params = $self->vparams( myparam => { type => 'int', optional => 1 }, ); # Set all in vparams %params = $self->vparams( -optional => 1, param1 => 'int', param2 => 'str', );
- skip
-
So as not to smear the validation code you can use the skip parameter to skip on the condition. This attribute is useful for controlling access to the form fields.
# This example don`t get param1 in production mode. # HTML % unless( $self->app->mode eq 'production' ) { %= number_field 'param1' % } # Simple flag $param1 = $self->vparam( param1 => 'int', skip => $self->app->mode eq 'production', ); # Same as by use sub. $param1 = $self->vparam( param1 => 'int', skip => sub { $_[0]->app->mode eq 'production' }, );
If you use sub then first parameter is controller.
This attribute
RESERVED ATTRIBUTES
- -sort
-
List of column names for vsort. Usually not all columns visible for users and you need convert column numbers in names. This also protect you SQL queries from set too much or too low column number.
- -optional
-
Set default optional flag for all params in "vparams" and "vsort".
FILTERS
Filters are used in conjunction with types for additional verification.
- min
-
Check minimum parameter value.
# Error if myparam less than 10 $self->vparam(myparam => 'int', min => 10);
- max
-
Check maximum parameter value.
# Error if myparam greater than 100 $self->vparam(myparam => 'int', max => 100);
- range
-
Check parameter value to be in range.
# Error if myparam less than 10 or greater than 100 $self->vparam(myparam => 'int', range => [10, 100]);
- regexp
-
Check parameter to be match for regexp
# Error if myparam not equal "abc" or "cde" $self->vparam(myparam => 'str', regexp => qr{^(abc|cde)$});
- in
-
Check parameter value to be in list of defined values.
# Error if myparam not equal "abc" or "cde" $self->vparam(myparam => 'str', in => [qw(abc cde)]);
