NAME¶
Validation::Class::Exporter - Simple Exporter for Validation::Class Classes
VERSION¶
version 7.900056
SYNOPSIS¶
package MyApp::Validator;
use Validation::Class;
use Validation::Class::Exporter;
my @settings = (
classes => [
MyApp::Validator::DomainAlpha
MyApp::Validator::DomainBeta
]
);
Validation::Class::Exporter->apply_spec(
routines => ['thing'], # export additional routines as is
settings => [@settings] # passed to the `load` keyword in V::C
);
sub thing {
my $args = pop;
my $class = shift || caller;
# routine as a keyword
# ... do some thing
};
... in your application class:
package MyApp;
use MyApp::Validator;
thing ['a', 'b'];
... in your application:
package main;
my $app = MyApp->new;
DESCRIPTION¶
This module (while experimental) encapsulates the exporting of keywords and
routines. It applies the Validation::Class framework along with any keyword
routines and/or sub-routines specified with the
apply_spec() method. It
does this by simply by copying the spec into the calling class.
To simplify writing exporter modules, "Validation::Class::Exporter"
also imports "strict" and "warnings" into your exporter
module, as well as into modules that use it.
METHODS¶
apply_spec¶
When you call this method, "Validation::Class::Exporter" builds a
custom "import" method on the calling class. The "import"
method will export the functions you specify, and can also automatically
export "Validation::Class" making the calling class a
Validation::Class derived class.
This method accepts the following parameters:
- •
- routines => [ ... ]
This list of function names only will be exported into the calling
class exactly as is, the functions can be used traditionally or as
keywords so their parameter handling should be configured
accordingly.
- •
- settings => [ ... ]
This list of key/value pair will be passed to the load method imported from
"Validation::Class::load" and will be applied on the calling
class.
This approach affords you some trickery in that you can utilize the load
method to apply the current class' configuration to the calling class'
configuration, etc.
