SYNOPSIS

    package MyApp;
    use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious';
    sub startup {
        my $self = shift;

        $self->plugin('Mojolicious::Plugin::ValidateMoose');

        # ...
    }

    package MyApp::Root;
    use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious::Controller';
    sub foo {
        my $self = shift;

        if($self->req->method eq 'POST') {
            if(my $obj = $self->validate_moose('My::Moose::Class')) {
                # input validate, and $obj created from My::Moose::Class
                # with the params set as attributes
            }
        }
    }

HELPERS

validate_moose

    $obj = $controller->validate_moose($moose_class, \%args);
    $obj = $controller->validate_moose($moose_obj, \%args);

Will either update an existing or create a new Moose object, if all the attributes gets validated. If any of the attributes is not updated with the right value from param(), this method will set invalid_form_elements in the stash to a datastructure like this:

    {
        $param_name_a => 'required', # fixed
        $param_name_b => 'moose exception message', # custom
    }

Example moose exception message:

    Validation failed for 'Int' with value "asd"

The method will return empty list if it fail to validate the input.

METHODS

Will register the methods undef "HELPERS" as Mojolicious helpers.
