    Dancer::Plugin::ValidationClass - Centralized Input Validation For
    Dancer

VERSION
    version 0.113300

SYNOPSIS
        use Dancer;
        use Dancer::Plugin::ValidationClass;

        post '/authenticate/:login' => sub {
            unless (rules->validate('login', 'password')) {
                return rules->errors->to_string;
            }
        };

        dance;

DESCRIPTION
    This plugin provides a convenient wrapper around the Validation::Class
    module for easy, reusable data validation for your Dancer applications.
    You don't even need to configure it unless your environment isn't a
    typical one.

ADVANCED SYNOPSIS
        use Dancer;
        use Dancer::Plugin::ValidationClass;

        post '/authenticate/:login' => sub {
            
        # validate everything
            unless (rules->validate()) {
                return rules->errors->to_string('<br/>');
            }
        };

        dance;

CONFIGURATION
    Connection details will be optionally grabbed from your Dancer config
    file. For example:

        plugins:
          ValidationClass:
            class: Foo::Bar
            
    or
        
    plugins:
          ValidationClass:
            class: lib/Foo/Bar.pm

    If no configuration information is given, this plugin will attempt to
    use the application's name, as set in the configuration file, and assume
    the class is $AppName::Validation under the lib directory.

METHODS
  rules
    This method returns the current Validation::Class instance if one
    exists.

        1 if rules->validate('login', 'password');
        1 if rules->validate({
            login => 'users:login',
            passw => 'users:password'
        });

        unless (rules->validate('login', 'password')) {
            return rules->error; # arrayref of errors
        }
