NAME

SmokeRunner::Multi::Validate - Wrapper around Params::Validate for SmokeRunner::Multi

SYNOPSIS

  use SmokeRunner::Multi::Validate qw( validate DIR_TYPE TEST_SET_TYPE );

  my $spec = {
      dir => DIR_TYPE,
      set => TEST_SET_TYPE( optional => 1 ),
  };
  sub foo {
      my %p = validate( @_, $spec );

      ...
  }

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a wrapper around Params::Validate. It basically consists of type-generating subroutines which can be used to easily create a validation spec for Params::Validate::validate().

EXPORTS

This module optionally exports all of the exported constants and subroutines provided by Params::Validate. In addition, it offers a number of higher-level type-generating subroutines. Most of these are wrappers around the Params::Validate types.

SCALAR_TYPE, ARRAYREF_TYPE, HASHREF_TYPE, BOOLEAN_TYPE, UNDEF_TYPE, CODEREF_TYPE, GLOBREF_TYPE, GLOB_TYPE, HANDLE_TYPE, OBJECT_TYPE, SCALARREF_TYPE

These are all wrappers around the standard type parameters provided by Params::Validate.

DIR_TYPE

This is a scalar which must be a valid directory path.

TEST_SET_TYPE

This is an object of the SmokeRunner::Multi::TestSet class.

RUNNER_TYPE

This is an object of the SmokeRunner::Multi::Runner class.

Type Generator Usage

When you want to use one of the types exported by this module, you use it as the entire definition for a named or position parameter. If you want to further qualify the type with a default, pass this as a parameter to the type generator subroutine:

  my $spec = {
      size => SCALAR_TYPE( default => 5 ),
  };
