This class inherits from Validation::Class::Mapping. Please look at Validation::Class::Directive for information of developing your own directives. ## RATIONALE The following is a list of core directives that get installed automatically with Validation::Class and can be used to jump-start your data validation initiative. **Please Note!** The purpose of the core directives is merely to provide a reasonable layer of protection against bad/malformed data, the validators are not very sophisticated and were created using a minimal level of strictness (e.g. the email and hostname directives do not perform a hostname lookup nor does the email directive conform to the RFC specification). Various applications have varied levels of strictness regarding various types of input (e.g. a hospital API may require a more sophisticated SSN validation than that of a department of education API; likewise; an email service API may require a more sophisticated email validation than that of a file sharing API). Validation::Class does not attempt to provide validators for all levels of strictness and the core directives exist to support typical use-cases with a minimal level of strictness. ### alias The alias directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Alias and handles parameter aliases. ### between The between directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Between and handles numeric range validation. ### city The city directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::City and handles city/area validation for cities in the USA. ### creditcard The creditcard directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Creditcard and handles validation for american express, bankcard, diners card, discover card, electron, enroute, jcb, maestro, mastercard, solo, switch, visa and voyager credit cards. ### date The date directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Date and handles validation of simple date formats. ### decimal The decimal directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Decimal and handles validation of floating point integers. ### default The default directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Default and hold the value which should be used if no parameter is supplied. ### depends\_on The depends\_on directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::DependsOn and validates the existence of dependent parameters. ### email The email directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Email and checks the validity of email address specified by the associated parameters within reason. Please note, the email directive does not perform a host lookup nor does it conform to the RFC specification. ### error The error directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Error and holds the error message that will supersede any other error messages that attempt to register errors at the field-level for the associated field. ### errors The errors directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Errors and is a container (object) which holds error message registered at the field-level for the associated field. ### filtering The filtering directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Filtering and specifies whether filtering and sanitation should occur as a pre-process or post-process. ### filters The filters directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Filters and specifies which filter should be executed on the associated field. ### hostname The hostname directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Hostname and handles validatation of server hostnames. ### label The label directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Label and holds a user-friendly string (name) representing the associated field. ### length The length directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Length and validates the exact length of the associated parameters. ### matches The matches directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Matches and validates whether the value of the dependent parameters matches that of the associated field. ### max\_alpha The max\_alpha directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::MaxAlpha and validates the length of alphabetic characters in the associated parameters. ### max\_digits The max\_digits directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::MaxDigits and validates the length of numeric characters in the associated parameters. ### max\_length The max\_length directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::MaxLength and validates the length of all characters in the associated parameters. ### max\_sum The max\_sum directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::MaxSum and validates the numeric value of the associated parameters. ### max\_symbols The max\_symbols directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::MaxSymbols and validates the length of non-alphanumeric characters in the associated parameters. ### messages The messages directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Messages and is a container (object) which holds error message which will supersede the default error messages of the associated directives. ### min\_alpha The min\_alpha directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::MinAlpha and validates the length of alphabetic characters in the associated parameters. ### min\_digits The min\_digits directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::MinDigits and validates the length of numeric characters in the associated parameters. ### min\_length The min\_length directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::MinLength and validates the length of all characters in the associated parameters. ### min\_sum The min\_sum directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::MinSum and validates the numeric value of the associated parameters. ### min\_symbols The min\_symbols directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::MinSymbols and validates the length of non-alphanumeric characters in the associated parameters. ### mixin The mixin directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Mixin and determines what directive templates will be merged with the associated field. ### mixin\_field The mixin\_field directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::MixinField and determines what fields will be used as templates and merged with the associated field. ### multiples The multiples directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Multiples and validates whether the associated parameters may contain a multi-value (an array of strings). ### name The name directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Name and merely holds the name of the associated field. This value is populated automatically. ### options The options directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Options and holds an enumerated list of values to be validated against the associated parameters. ### pattern The pattern directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Pattern and handles validation of simple patterns and complex regular expressions. ### readonly The readonly directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Readonly and determines whether the associated parameters should be ignored. ### required The required directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Required and handles validation of supply and demand. ### ssn The ssn directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::SSN and handles validation of social security numbers in the USA. ### state The state directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::State and handles state validation for states in the USA. ### telephone The telephone directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Telephone and handles telephone number validation for the USA and North America. ### time The time directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Time and handles validation for standard time formats. ### toggle The toggle directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Toggle and used internally to handle validation of per-validation-event requirements. ### uuid The uuid directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::UUID and handles validation of Globally/Universally Unique Identifiers. ### validation The validation directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Validation and used to execute user-defined validation routines. ### value The value directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::value and hold the absolute value of the associated field. ### zipcode The zipcode directive is provided by Validation::Class::Directive::Zipcode and handles postal-code validation for areas in the USA and North America. ## AUTHOR Al Newkirk \ ## COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2011 by Al Newkirk.
