NAME

Handel::Components::Validation - Column validation for schemas

SYNOPSIS

    package MySchema::Table;
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
    
    __PACKAGE__->load_components('+Handel::Component::Validation');
    __PACKAGE__->validation(
        module  => 'FormValidator::Simple',
        profile => [ ... ],
        auto    => 1
    );
    
    1;

DESCRIPTION

Handel::Components::Validation is a customized version of DBIx::Class::Validation for use in cart/order schemas.

There is no real reason to load this component into your schema table classes directly. If you set a profile using Handel::Storage->validation_profile, this component will be loaded into the appropriate schema source class automatically.

If validation fails, a Handel::Exception::Validation will be thrown containing the the result object returned from the validation module.

validate

Validates the data using the specified validation module/profile. If validation succeeds, the result object from the validation module is returned. If validation fails, a Handel:Exception::Validation will be thrown.

throw_exception

Wraps DBIx::Class::Validation exceptions in Handel exceptions and rethrows. See "throw_exception" in DBIx::Class::Row for more information about throw_exception.
