package Template::Plugin::StashValidate;

=head1 NAME

Template::Plugin::StashValidate - MooseX::Params::Validate for template stash values

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Allows a template to validate specific hash keys via MooseX::Params::Validate

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 [% USE StashValidate {
    'advice_discrepant' => { 'isa' => 'ArrayRef | HashRef', 'optional' => 1 },
  } %]

=head1 OVERVIEW

Allows a template to validate keys from the stash (L<Template::Stash>) using
L<MooseX::Params::Validate>. Accepts a hashref as the sole argument, and this is
the C<parameter_spec> that's passed straight through to
L<MooseX::Params::Validate>'s C<validated_hash>. We only validate elements in
the stash for which you've specified an allowed value - other keys in the stash
are ignored.

B<In short, for options, see>: L<MooseX::Params::Validate>.

L<MooseX::Params::Validate> supports both coerced values and default values -
this means the value you put in might not be the value you get out again. This
module supports that - the stash is updated with any changes returned.
