NAME Perinci::Sub::ValidateArgs - Validate function arguments using schemas in Rinci function metadata VERSION This document describes version 0.013 of Perinci::Sub::ValidateArgs (from Perl distribution Perinci-Sub-ValidateArgs), released on 2020-03-10. SYNOPSIS use Perinci::Sub::ValidateArgs qw(gen_args_validator_from_meta); our %SPEC; $SPEC{foo} = { v => 1.1, args => { a1 => { schema => 'int*', req => 1, }, a2 => { schema => [array => of=>'int*'], default => 'peach', }, }, 'x.func.validate_args' => 1, }; sub foo { state $validator = gen_args_validator_from_meta(); my %args = @_; if (my $err = $validator->(\%args)) { return $err } ... } or, if you want the validator to die on failure: ... sub foo { state $validator = gen_args_validator_from_meta(die => 1); my %args = @_; $validator->(\%args); ... } DESCRIPTION This module (PSV for short) can be used to validate function arguments using schema information in Rinci function metadata. There are other ways if you want to validate function arguments using Sah schemas. See Data::Sah::Manual::ParamsValidating. FUNCTIONS gen_args_validator_from_meta Usage: gen_args_validator_from_meta(%args) -> any Generate argument validator from Rinci function metadata. If you don't intend to reuse the generated validator, you can also use "validate_args_using_meta". This function is not exported by default, but exportable. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * die => *bool* Whether validator should die or just return an error message/response. * meta => *hash* If not specified, will be searched from caller's %SPEC package variable. * source => *bool* Whether we want to get the source code instead. The default is to generate Perl validator code, compile it with "eval()", and return the resulting coderef. When this option is set to true, the generated source string will be returned instead. Return value: (any) validate_args_using_meta Usage: validate_args_using_meta(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta] Validate arguments using Rinci function metadata. If you intend to reuse the generated validator, you can also use "gen_args_validator_from_meta". Note: currently cannot handle "args_as => 'array'", only "args_as => 'arrayref". This function is not exported by default, but exportable. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * args* => *hash|array* * die => *bool* Whether validator should die or just return an error message/response. * meta* => *hash* Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information. Return value: (any) HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at .
