=head1 Description

C is a wrapper around L which
provides a suite of convenience methods for validation.

=head1 Distributions

This module is available as a Unix-style distro (*.tgz).

See L
for help on unpacking and installing distros.

=head1 Installation

Install C as you would any C module:

Run:

	cpanm MojoX::Validate::Util

or run:

	sudo cpan Text::Balanced::Marpa

or unpack the distro, and then run:

	perl Makefile.PL
	make (or dmake or nmake)
	make test
	make install

=head1 Constructor and Initialization

C is called as C<< my($parser) = MojoX::Validate::Util -> new >>.

It returns a new object of type C.

C does not take any parameters.

=head1 Methods

=head2 add_dimension_check()

Called in BEGIN(). The check itself is called C, and it is used by calling
L.

=head2 add_url_check()

Called in BEGIN(). The check itself is called C, and it is used by calling
L.

This method uses L.

=head2 check_ascii_digits($params, $topic)

This test uses 2 steps:

=over 4

=item o The length of $$params{$topic} must be > 0, and

=item o All digits in $$params{$topic} must be in the set [0-9]

=back

Parameters:

=over 4

=item o $params => A hashref

E.g.: $params = {age => $value, ...}.

=item o $topic => The name of the parameter being tested

E.g.: $topic = 'age'.

=back

Return value: Integer (0 or 1):

=over 4

=item o 0 => Invalid

=item o 1 => Valid

=back

See also L and
L.

Note: This method uses neither L nor L.

=head2 check_dimension($params, $topic, $units)

Parameters:

=over 4

=item o $params => A hashref

E.g.: $params = {height => $value, ...}.

=item o $topic => The name of the parameter being tested

E.g.: $topic = 'height'.

=item o $value => A string containing a floating point number followed by one of the abbreviations

Or, the string can contain 2 floating point numbers separated by a hyphen, followed by one of the
abbreviations.

Spaces can be used liberally within the string, but of course not within the numbers.

So the code tests $$params{$topic} = $value.

=item o $units => An arrayref of strings of unit names or abbreviations

E.g.: $units = ['cm', 'm'].

=back

Return value: Integer (0 or 1) as returned by L:

=over 4

=item o 0 => Invalid

=item o 1 => Valid

=back

For some non-undef $topic, $value and $units, here are some sample values for the hashref
and the corresponding return values (using $units = ['cm', 'm']):

=over 4

=item o {height => ''}: returns 1 (sic)

=item o {height => '1'}: returns 0

=item o {height => '1cm'}: returns 1

=item o {height => '1 cm'}: returns 1

=item o {height => '1m'}: returns 1

=item o {height => '40-70.5cm'}: returns 1

=item o {height => '1.5 -2 m'}: returns 1

=back

=head2 check_equal_to($params, $topic, $other_topic)

This test uses B. For a test using B<==>, see L.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item o $params => A hashref

E.g.: $params = {password => $value_1, confirm_password => $value_2, ...}.

=item o $topic => The name of the parameter being tested

E.g.: $topic = 'password'.

=item o $other_topic => The name of the other key within $params whose value should match $value_1

E.g.: $other_topic = 'confirm_password'.

So the code tests (using B) $$params{$topic} = $value_1 with $$params{$other_topic} = $value_2.

=back

Return value: Integer (0 or 1) as returned by L.

=over 4

=item o 0 => Invalid

=item o 1 => Valid

=back

See also L and L.

=head2 check_key_exists($params, $topic)

Parameters:

=over 4

=item o $params => A hashref

E.g.: $params = {email_address => $value, ...}.

=item o $topic => The name of the parameter being tested

E.g.: $topic = 'email_address'.

=back

Return value: Integer (0 or 1):

=over 4

=item o 0 => Invalid

=item o 1 => Valid

=back

For some non-undef $topic, here are some sample values for $params and the corresponding
return values (using $topic = 'x'):

=over 4

=item o {}: returns 0

=item o {x => undef}: returns 1

=item o {x => ''}: returns 1

=item o {x => '0'}: returns 1

=item o {x => 0}: returns 1

=item o {x => 'yz'}: returns 1

=back

This method uses neither L nor L.

=head2 check_member($params, $topic, $set)

Parameters:

=over 4

=item o $params => A hashref

E.g.: $params = {love_popup_ads => $value, ...}.

=item o $topic => The name of the parameter being tested

E.g.: $topic = 'love_popup_ads'.

=item o $set => An arrayref of strings

E.g.: ['Yes', B<'No'>].

=back

Return value: Integer (0 or 1) as returned by L.

=over 4

=item o 0 => Invalid

=item o 1 => Valid

=back

=head2 check_number($params, $topic, $expected)

This test uses B<==>. For a test using B, see L.

Parameters:

=over 4

=item o $params => A hashref

E.g.: $params = {age => $value, ...}.

=item o $topic => The name of the parameter being tested

=back

Return value: Integer (0 or 1):

=over 4

=item o 0 => Invalid

=item o 1 => Valid

=back

For some non-undef $topic, $value and $expected, here are some sample values for $value and
$expected, and the corresponding return values:

=over 4

=item o $value == 99 and $expected != 99: returns 0

=item o $value == 99 and $expected == 99: returns 1

=head1 FAQ

=head2 Why did you prefix all the method names with 'check_'?

In order to clarify which methods are part of this module and which are within
L or L.

=head2 Why provide both check_optional() and check_required()?

Calling either C or C within L, and then
calling C can return the same value, but the difference becomes apparent after (then)
calling methods such as C, C, C and C.

This will be much clearer after you study the output of scripts/demo.pl and t/03.email.address.t.

=head2 Why did you not make any provision for Mojolicious-style filters?

I will add them if there is any interest, but ATM I take the attitude: Release early and release
often.

=head2 Why did you not use the module C?

I was tempted, but it would mean 2 extra, albeit small, complexities:

=over 4

=item o Another pre-requisite

And that conflicts with the minimalistic philosophy of Mojolicious itself.

=item o Handling the types of all the values returned from the Mojolicious code
