DESCRIPTION

MooX::Validate is mashup between Validation::Class::Simple, a wrapper around the Validation::Class library, which provides minimalist validation and filtering automation, and Moo. Validation::Class is a robust data validation library that ships with a complete set of pre-defined validations and filters referred to as directives. Moo is an extremely light-weight subset of Moose optimised for rapid startup and "pay only for what you use". It also avoids depending on any XS modules to allow simple deployments. The name Moo is based on the idea that it provides almost but not quite two thirds of Moose.

METHODS

validator

The validator method gives you access to a Validation::Class::Simple object using the pre-declared validation rules defined in the attribute declarations. See Validation::Class::Simple for more information on utilizing this object.

my  $validator = $self->validator;

    $validator->validate(@specifically);
