SYNOPSIS
# custom error messages
my $constraint =
And( Message( 'You need to specify a Value', IsDefined ),
Message( 'The specified Value is not an Int', IsInt ));
# build results
my $valid = ReturnTrue;
my $invalid = ReturnFalse('Just because');
DESCRIPTION
This library is meant to contain those constraints and constraint-like
elements that apply generally to the whole framework.
CONSTRAINTS
Message($message, $constraint)
Overrides the "message" set on the result object for failures in
$constraint. For example:
my $message = 'How hard is it to give me a number?';
my $constraint = Message($message, IsNumber);
my $result = $constraint->('duh...');
print $result->message, "\n";
The "Message" constraint overrides the error message returned by it's
whole subtree, however, the "Message" specification nearest to the
point of failure will win. So while this
my $constraint = Message( 'Foo',
IsArrayRef( Message( 'Bar', IsInt )));
my $result = $constraint->(['I am not an Integer']);
print $result->message;
will print "Bar", this
my $result = $constraint->('I\'m not even an ArrayRef');
print $result->message;
will output "Foo".
Scope($name, $constraint)
Executes the passed $constraint in a newly generated scope named $name.
SetResult($scope, $name, $constraint)
Stores the result ov an evaluation of $constraint in $scope under
$name.
IsValid($scope, $name)
Returns a true result if the result $name, which has to have been
stored previously in the scope named $scope, was valid.
ReturnTrue()
Returns a true result.
ReturnFalse($msg)
Returns a false result containing $msg as error message.
