DESCRIPTION

Validation::Class::Directive::Options is a core validation class field directive that holds an enumerated list of values to be validated against the associated parameters.

• alternative argument: an-array-of-user-defined-options

  This directive can be passed a single value or an array of values:

      fields => {
          user_role => {
              options => ['Client', 'Employee', 'Administrator']
          }
      }
  
      # the following examples are useful for plugins (and other code)
      # that may want to otherwise identify option values
  
      fields => {
          user_role => {
              options => [
                  '1|Client',
                  '2|Employee',
                  '3|Administrator'
              ]
          }
      }
  
      # please note:
      # declaring options as "keyed-options" will cause the validation of
      # the option's key and NOT the option's value
  
      fields => {
          user_role => {
              options => [
                  [ 1 => 'Client' ],
                  [ 2 => 'Employee' ],
                  [ 3 => 'Administrator' ]
              ]
          }
      }
