# Catmandu::Validator::Mock(3pm)

Validate items based on a flag

## NAME

Catmandu::Validator::Mock - Validate items based on a flag

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Catmandu::Validator::Mock;
    my $validator = Catmandu::Validator::Mock->new(
        message  => 'item is invalid',
        reject   => 1,
    );
```

## DESCRIPTION

This Catmandu::Validator can be used for testing as it does not actually look at the data to validate. Instead it rejects items if `"reject"` is set to a true value.

## CONFIGURATION

- message

  Error message to return for rejected items.

- reject

  The validator marks all items as invalid as long as this flag is true. Default is false.

## SEE ALSO
