VERSION

version 0.05

SYNOPSIS

  use MooseX::Validation::Doctypes;

  doctype 'Location' => {
      id      => 'Str',
      city    => 'Str',
      state   => 'Str',
      country => 'Str',
      zipcode => 'Int',
  };

  doctype 'Person' => {
      id    => 'Str',
      name  => {
          # ... nested data structures
          first_name => 'Str',
          last_name  => 'Str',
      },
      title   => 'Str',
      # ... complex Moose types
      friends => 'ArrayRef[Person]',
      # ... using doctypes same as regular types
      address => 'Maybe[Location]',
  };

  use JSON;

  # note the lack of Location,
  # which is fine because it
  # was Maybe[Location]

  my $data = decode_json(q[
      {
          "id": "1234-A",
          "name": {
              "first_name" : "Bob",
              "last_name"  : "Smith",
           },
          "title": "CIO",
          "friends" : [],
      }
  ]);

  use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;

  my $person = find_type_constraint('Person');
  die "Data is invalid" unless $person->check($data);

DESCRIPTION

This module implements the actual type constraint that is created by the doctype function in MooseX::Validation::Doctypes. It is a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint which adds a required doctype parameter, and automatically generates a constraint and message which validate based on that doctype (as described in the MooseX::Validation::Doctypes docs).

ATTRIBUTES

doctype

The doctype to validate. Required.
