.IX Header "BEST PRACTICES"
Try to avoid using callbacks if possible. Below is a more maintainable
and reusable approach, which also keeps the code out of the controller.
.PP
A normal application's directory would contain:
.PP
.Vb 4
\&    lib/HTML/FormFu/Constraint/MyApp/
\&    lib/HTML/FormFu/Validator/MyApp/
\&    lib/HTML/FormFu/Plugin/MyApp/
\&    etc.
.Ve
.PP
Then, the form config file would just need:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    validator: \*(AqMyApp::SomeValidator\*(Aq
.Ve
.PP
And the class would be something like this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    package HTML::FormFu::Validator::MyApp::SomeValidator;
\&
\&    use Moose;
\&    extends \*(AqHTML::FormFu::Validator\*(Aq;
\&
\&    sub validate_value {
\&        my ( $self, $value, $params ) = @_;
\&
\&        my $c = $self\->form\->stash\->{context};
\&
\&        return 1 if $c\->model(\*(AqDBIC\*(Aq)\->is_valid($value);
\&
\&        # assuming you want to return a custom error message
\&        # which perhaps includes something retrieved from the model
\&        # otherwise, just return 0
\&        die HTML::FormFu::Exception::Validator\->new({
\&            message => \*(Aqcustom error message\*(Aq,
\&        });
\&    }
\&
\&    1;
