Re^3: Problems with not so trivial data validation using Data::FormValidator

ted.byers:

Have you looked at the tests for the module? You can use the test "t/multiple_constraints.t" as an example and build on it to find out how to use multiple constraints.

Re^4: Problems with not so trivial data validation using Data::FormValidator by ted.byers (Monk) on Feb 01, 2013 at 02:49 UTC
I had not, but now I have. Here is the example there: `my %data = ( multiple => 'to fail', #multiple => [qw{this multi-value input will fail on the constraint +below}], single => 'to pass', ); my %profile = ( required => [qw/ multiple single /], constraints => { multiple => [ { name => 'constraint_1', constraint => qr/\w/ }, # pass { name => 'constraint_2', constraint => qr/\d/ }, # force fail + ], }, ); my $results = Data::FormValidator->check(\%data, \%profile);` [download] The only difference, apart from using a regular expression, I see there is that they have the field name where the example from the documentation, and I, have a dummy nme, and where I, and the documentation, have the filed name as the first value in the array, the test does not. But, When I modify my code to resemble the code in that test, I still get the same error. This is so frustrating. Thanks Ted	[reply] [d/l]

my %data = (

  #multiple => [qw{this multi-value input will fail on the constraint

  single   => 'to pass',

my %profile = (

  constraints => {
      multiple => [
        { name => 'constraint_1', constraint => qr/\w/ }, # pass
        { name => 'constraint_2', constraint => qr/\d/ }, # force fail
+ 
      ],
  },
);


my $results = Data::FormValidator->check(\%data, \%profile);
