NAME¶
Validation::Class::Backwards - Backwards-Compatibility Layer for
Validation::Class
VERSION¶
version 7.70
SYNOPSIS¶
package SomeClass;
use Validation::Class;
package main;
my $class = SomeClass->new;
...
1;
DESCRIPTION¶
Validation::Class::Backwards is responsible for providing deprecated
functionality to the Validation::Class::Prototype layer whilst clearly
remaining separate via namespacing.
Note: The methods described here will eventually become obsolete and cease to
exist. Please review the namespace occasionally and adjust your code
accordingly. Using methods defined here will generate warnings unless you
unset the $ENV{'VALIDATION_CLASS_BC_WARNING'} environment variable.
METHODS¶
error¶
DEPRECATING:
The error method is used to set and/or retrieve errors encountered during
validation. The error method with no parameters returns the error message
object which is an arrayref of error messages stored at class-level.
# set errors at the class-level
return $self->error('this isnt cool', 'unknown somethingorother');
# set an error at the field-level, using the field ref (not field name)
$self->error($field_object, "i am your error message");
# return all errors encountered/set as an arrayref
my $all_errors = $self->error();
RECOMMENDED:
# see Validation::Class::Errors
# set errors at the class-level
return $self->errors->add(...);
# set an error at the field-level
$self->fields->{$field_name}->{errors}->add(...);
# return all errors encountered
my $list = $self->errors->list;
