It allows you to validate input via a template. The only requirement is that the arguments must be named. Params::Check can do the following things for you: =over 4 =item * Convert all keys to lowercase =item * Check if all required arguments have been provided =item * Set arguments that have not been provided to the default =item * Weed out arguments that are not supported and warn about them to the user =item * Validate the arguments given by the user based on strings, regexes, lists or even subroutines =item * Enforce type integrity if required =back Most of Params::Check's power comes from its template, which we'll discuss below: =head1 Template As you can see in the synopsis, based on your template, the arguments provided will be validated. The template can take a different set of rules per key that is used. The following rules are available: =over 4 =item default This is the default value if none was provided by the user. This is also the type C<strict_type> will look at when checking type integrity (see below). =item required A boolean flag that indicates if this argument was a required argument. If marked as required and not provided, check() will fail. =item strict_type This does a C<ref()> check on the argument provided. The C<ref> of the argument must be the same as the C<ref> of the default value for this check to pass. This is very useful if you insist on taking an array reference as argument for example. =item defined If this template key is true, enforces that if this key is provided by user input, its value is C<defined>. This just means that the user is not allowed to pass C<undef> as a value for this key and is equivalent to: allow => sub { defined $_[0] && OTHER TESTS } =item no_override This allows you to specify C<constants> in your template. ie, they keys that are not allowed to be altered by the user. It pretty much allows you to keep all your C<configurable> data in one place; the C<Params::Check> template. =item store This allows you to pass a reference to a scalar, in which the data will be stored: my $x; my $args = check(foo => { default => 1, store => \$x }, $input); This is basically shorthand for saying: my $args = check( { foo => { default => 1 }, $input ); my $x = $args->{foo}; You can alter the global variable $Params::Check::NO_DUPLICATES to control whether the C<store>'d key will still be present in your result set. See the L<Global Variables> section below. =item allow A set of criteria used to validate a particular piece of data if it has to adhere to particular rules. See the C<allow()> function for details. =back =head1 Functions =head2 check( \%tmpl, \%args, [$verbose] ); This function is not exported by default, so you'll have to ask for it via: use Params::Check qw[check]; or use its fully qualified name instead. C<check> takes a list of arguments, as follows: =over 4 =item Template This is a hash reference which contains a template as explained in the C<SYNOPSIS> and C<Template> section. =item Arguments This is a reference to a hash of named arguments which need checking. =item Verbose A boolean to indicate whether C<check> should be verbose and warn about what went wrong in a check or not. You can enable this program wide by setting the package variable C<$Params::Check::VERBOSE> to a true value. For details, see the section on C<Global Variables> below. =back C<check> will return when it fails, or a hashref with lowercase keys of parsed arguments when it succeeds. So a typical call to check would look like this: my $parsed = check( \%template, \%arguments, $VERBOSE ) or warn q[Arguments could not be parsed!]; A lot of the behaviour of C<check()> can be altered by setting package variables. See the section on C<Global Variables> for details on this. =cut sub check { my ($utmpl, $href, $verbose) = @_; ### clear the current error string ### _clear_error(); ### did we get the arguments we need? ### if ( !$utmpl or !$href ) { _store_error(loc('check() expects two arguments')); return unless $WARNINGS_FATAL; croak(__PACKAGE__->last_error); } ### sensible defaults ### $verbose ||= $VERBOSE || 0; ### XXX what type of template is it? ### ### { key => { } } ? #if (ref $args eq 'HASH') { # 1; #} ### clean up the template ### my $args; ### don't even bother to loop, if there's nothing to clean up ### if( $PRESERVE_CASE and !$STRIP_LEADING_DASHES ) { $args = $href; } else { ### keys are not aliased ### for my $key (keys %$href) { my $org = $key; $key = lc $key unless $PRESERVE_CASE; $key =~ s/^-// if $STRIP_LEADING_DASHES; $args->{$key} = $href->{$org}; } } my %defs; ### which template entries have a 'store' member my @want_store; ### sanity check + defaults + required keys set? ### my $fail; for my $key (keys %$utmpl) { my $tmpl = $utmpl->{$key}; ### check if required keys are provided ### keys are now lower cased, unless preserve case was enabled ### at which point, the utmpl keys must match, but that's the users ### problem. if( $tmpl->{'required'} and not exists $args->{$key} ) { _store_error( loc(q|Required option '%1' is not provided for %2 by %3|, $key, _who_was_it(), _who_was_it(1)), $verbose ); ### mark the error ### $fail++; next; } ### next, set the default, make sure the key exists in %defs ### $defs{$key} = $tmpl->{'default'} if exists $tmpl->{'default'}; if( $SANITY_CHECK_TEMPLATE ) { ### last, check if they provided any weird template keys ### -- do this last so we don't always execute this code. ### just a small optimization. map { _store_error( loc(q|Template type '%1' not supported [at key '%2']|, $_, $key), 1, 0 ); } grep { not $known_keys{$_} } keys %$tmpl; ### make sure you passed a ref, otherwise, complain about it! if ( exists $tmpl->{'store'} ) { _store_error( loc( q|Store variable for '%1' is not a reference!|, $key ), 1, 0 ) unless ref $tmpl->{'store'}; } } push @want_store, $key if $tmpl->{'store'}; } ### errors found ### return if $fail; ### flag to see if anything went wrong ### my $wrong; ### flag to see if we warned for anything, needed for warnings_fatal my $warned; for my $key (keys %$args) { my $arg = $args->{$key}; ### you gave us this key, but it's not in the template ### unless( $utmpl->{$key} ) { ### but we'll allow it anyway ### if( $ALLOW_UNKNOWN ) { $defs{$key} = $arg; ### warn about the error ### } else { _store_error( loc("Key '%1' is not a valid key for %2 provided by %3", $key, _who_was_it(), _who_was_it(1)), $verbose); $warned ||= 1; } next; } ### copy of this keys template instructions, to save derefs ### my %tmpl = %{$utmpl->{$key}}; ### check if you're even allowed to override this key ### if( $tmpl{'no_override'} ) { _store_error( loc(q[You are not allowed to override key '%1']. q[for %2 from %3], $key, _who_was_it(), _who_was_it(1)), $verbose ); $warned ||= 1; next; } ### check if you were supposed to provide defined() values ### if( ($tmpl{'defined'} || $ONLY_ALLOW_DEFINED) and not defined $arg ) { _store_error(loc(q|Key '%1' must be defined when passed|, $key), $verbose ); $wrong ||= 1; next; } ### check if they should be of a strict type, and if it is ### if( ($tmpl{'strict_type'} || $STRICT_TYPE) and (ref $arg ne ref $tmpl{'default'}) ) { _store_error(loc(q|Key '%1' needs to be of type '%2'|, $key, ref $tmpl{'default'} || 'SCALAR'), $verbose ); $wrong ||= 1; next; } ### check if we have an allow handler, to validate against ### ### allow() will report its own errors ### if( exists $tmpl{'allow'} and not do { local $_ERROR_STRING; allow( $arg, $tmpl{'allow'} ) } ) { ### stringify the value in the error report -- we don't want dumps ### of objects, but we do want to see *roughly* what we passed _store_error(loc(q|Key '%1' (%2) is of invalid type for '%3' |. q|provided by %4|, $key, "$arg", _who_was_it(), _who_was_it(1)), $verbose); $wrong ||= 1; next; } ### we got here, then all must be OK ### $defs{$key} = $arg; } ### croak with the collected errors if there were errors and ### we have the fatal flag toggled. croak(__PACKAGE__->last_error) if ($wrong || $warned) && $WARNINGS_FATAL; ### done with our loop... if $wrong is set, something went wrong ### and the user is already informed, just return... return if $wrong; ### check if we need to store any of the keys ### ### can't do it before, because something may go wrong later, ### leaving the user with a few set variables for my $key (@want_store) { next unless exists $defs{$key}; my $ref = $utmpl->{$key}{'store'}; $$ref = $NO_DUPLICATES ? delete $defs{$key} : $defs{$key}; } return \%defs; } =head2 allow( $test_me, \@criteria ); The function that handles the C<allow> key in the template is also available for independent use. The function takes as first argument a key to test against, and as second argument any form of criteria that are also allowed by the C<allow> key in the template. You can use the following types of values for allow: =over 4 =item string The provided argument MUST be equal to the string for the validation to pass. =item regexp The provided argument MUST match the regular expression for the validation to pass. =item subroutine The provided subroutine MUST return true in order for the validation to pass and the argument accepted. (This is particularly useful for more complicated data). =item array ref The provided argument MUST equal one of the elements of the array ref for the validation to pass. An array ref can hold all the above values. =back It returns true if the key matched the criteria, or false otherwise. =cut sub allow { ### use $_[0] and $_[1] since this is hot code... ### #my ($val, $ref) = @_; ### it's a regexp ### if( ref $_[1] eq 'Regexp' ) { local $^W; # silence warnings if $val is undef # return if $_[0] !~ /$_[1]/; ### it's a sub ### } elsif ( ref $_[1] eq 'CODE' ) { return unless $_[1]->( $_[0] ); ### it's an array ### } elsif ( ref $_[1] eq 'ARRAY' ) { ### loop over the elements, see if one of them says the ### value is OK ### also, short-circuit when possible for ( @{$_[1]} ) { return 1 if allow( $_[0], $_ ); } return; ### fall back to a simple, but safe 'eq' ### } else { return unless _safe_eq( $_[0], $_[1] ); } ### we got here, no failures ### return 1; } ### helper functions ### sub _safe_eq { ### only do a straight 'eq' if they're both defined ### return defined($_[0]) && defined($_[1]) ? $_[0] eq $_[1] : defined($_[0]) eq defined($_[1]); } sub _who_was_it { my $level = $_[0] || 0; return (caller(2 + $CALLER_DEPTH + $level))[3] || 'ANON' } =head2 last_error() Returns a string containing all warnings and errors reported during the last time C<check> was called. This is useful if you want to report then some other way than C<carp>'ing when the verbose flag is on. It is exported upon request. =cut { $_ERROR_STRING = ''; sub _store_error { my($err, $verbose, $offset) = @_[0..2]; $verbose ||= 0; $offset ||= 0; my $level = 1 + $offset; local $Carp::CarpLevel = $level; carp $err if $verbose; $_ERROR_STRING .= $err . "\n"; } sub _clear_error { $_ERROR_STRING = ''; } sub last_error { $_ERROR_STRING } } 1; =head1 Global Variables The behaviour of Params::Check can be altered by changing the following global variables: =head2 $Params::Check::VERBOSE This controls whether Params::Check will issue warnings and explanations as to why certain things may have failed. If you set it to 0, Params::Check will not output any warnings. The default is 1 when L<warnings> are enabled, 0 otherwise; =head2 $Params::Check::STRICT_TYPE This works like the C<strict_type> option you can pass to C<check>, which will turn on C<strict_type> globally for all calls to C<check>. The default is 0; =head2 $Params::Check::ALLOW_UNKNOWN If you set this flag, unknown options will still be present in the return value, rather than filtered out. This is useful if your subroutine is only interested in a few arguments, and wants to pass the rest on blindly to perhaps another subroutine. The default is 0; =head2 $Params::Check::STRIP_LEADING_DASHES If you set this flag, all keys passed in the following manner: function( -key => 'val' ); will have their leading dashes stripped. =head2 $Params::Check::NO_DUPLICATES If set to true, all keys in the template that are marked as to be stored in a scalar, will also be removed from the result set. Default is false, meaning that when you use C<store> as a template key, C<check> will put it both in the scalar you supplied, as well as in the hashref it returns. =head2 $Params::Check::PRESERVE_CASE If set to true, L<Params::Check> will no longer convert all keys from the user input to lowercase, but instead expect them to be in the case the template provided. This is useful when you want to use similar keys with different casing in your templates. Understand that this removes the case-insensitivity feature of this module. Default is 0; =head2 $Params::Check::ONLY_ALLOW_DEFINED If set to true, L<Params::Check> will require all values passed to be C<defined>. If you wish to enable this on a 'per key' basis, use the template option C<defined> instead. Default is 0; =head2 $Params::Check::SANITY_CHECK_TEMPLATE If set to true, L<Params::Check> will sanity check templates, validating for errors and unknown keys. Although very useful for debugging, this can be somewhat slow in hot-code and large loops. To disable this check, set this variable to C<false>. Default is 1; =head2 $Params::Check::WARNINGS_FATAL If set to true, L<Params::Check> will C<croak> when an error during template validation occurs, rather than return C<false>. Default is 0; =head2 $Params::Check::CALLER_DEPTH This global modifies the argument given to C<caller()> by C<Params::Check::check()> and is useful if you have a custom wrapper function around C<Params::Check::check()>. The value must be an integer, indicating the number of wrapper functions inserted between the real function call and C<Params::Check::check()>. Example wrapper function, using a custom stacktrace: sub check { my ($template, $args_in) = @_; local $Params::Check::WARNINGS_FATAL = 1; local $Params::Check::CALLER_DEPTH = $Params::Check::CALLER_DEPTH + 1; my $args_out = Params::Check::check($template, $args_in); my_stacktrace(Params::Check::last_error) unless $args_out; return $args_out; } Default is 0; =head1 Acknowledgements Thanks to Richard Soderberg for his performance improvements. =head1 BUG REPORTS Please report bugs or other issues to E<lt>bug-params-check@rt.cpan.orgE<gt>. =head1 AUTHOR This module by Jos Boumans E<lt>kane@cpan.orgE<gt>. =head1 COPYRIGHT This library is free software; you may redistribute and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. =cut # Local variables: # c-indentation-style: bsd # c-basic-offset: 4 # indent-tabs-mode: nil # End: # vim: expandtab shiftwidth=4:
