=head1 NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::InputValidation - Validate incoming requests

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Mojolicious::Lite;
  plugin 'InputValidation';

  # This needs to be done where one wants to use the iv_* routines.
  use Mojolicious::Plugin::InputValidation;

  post '/books' => sub {
      my $c = shift;

      # Validate incoming requests against our data model.
      if (my $error = $c->validate_json_request({
          title    => iv_any,
          abstract => iv_any(optional => 1, empty => 1),
          author   => {
              firstname => iv_word,
              lastname  => iv_word,
          },
          published => iv_datetime,
          price     => iv_float,
          revision  => iv_int,
          isbn      => iv_any(pattern => qr/^[0-9\-]{10,13}$/),
          advertise => iv_bool,
      })) {
          return $c->render(status => 400, text => $error);
      }

      # Now the payload is safe to use.
      my $payload = $c->req->json;
      ...
  };

=head1 DESCRIPTION

L compares structures against a pattern.
The pattern is usually a nested structure, so the compare methods search
recursively for the first non-matching value. If such a value is found a
speaking error message is returned, otherwise a false value.

=head1 METHODS

L adds methods to the connection object
in a mojolicous controller. This way input validation becomes easy.

=head2 validate_json_request

  my $error = $c->validate_json_request($pattern);

This method try to match the json request payload ($c->req->json) against the
given pattern. If the payload matches, a false value is returned. If the payload
on the other hand does not match the pattern, the first non-matching value is
returned along with a speaking error message. The error message could look like:

  "Unexpected keys 'id,name' found at path /author"

=head1 TYPES

The pattern consists of one or more types the input is matched against.
The following types are available.

=over 4

=item iv_any

This is the base type for all other types. By default it matches defined values
only. It supports beeing optional, means that it is okay if this element is
missing entirely in the payload.
When this type is marked as nillable, it also accepts a null/undef value.
To accept an empty string, mark it as empty.
This type supports a regex pattern to match against. All options can be combined.

  {
      foo  => iv_any,
      bar  => iv_any(optional => 1, empty => 1),
      baz  => iv_any(nillable => 1),
      quux => iv_any(pattern => qr/^new|mint|used$/),
  }

=item iv_int

This type matches integers, literally digits with an optional leading dash.

  {
      foo => iv_int,
      bar => iv_int(optional => 1),
      baz => iv_int(nillable => 1),
  }

=item iv_float

This type matches floats, so digits divided by a single dot, with an optional
leading dash.

  {
      foo => iv_float,
      bar => iv_float(optional => 1),
      baz => iv_float(nillable => 1),
  }

=item iv_bool

This type matches booleans: true and false.

  {
      foo => iv_bool,
      bar => iv_bool(optional => 1),
      baz => iv_bool(nillable => 1),
  }

=item iv_word

This type is meant to match identifiers. It matches word character strings (\w+).
Using the iv_any type one can achieve the same with: iv_any(pattern => qr/^\w+$/)
To accept an empty string, mark it as empty.

  {
      foo => iv_word,
      bar => iv_word(optional => 1, empty => 1),
      baz => iv_word(nillable => 1),
  }

=item iv_datetime

This type matches datetime strings in the following format:

  YYYY-mm-DDTHH:mm:ssZ
  YYYY-mm-DDTHH:mm:ss-0100
  YYYY-mm-DDTHH:mm:ss+0000
  YYYY-mm-DDTHH:mm:ss+0100
  YYYY-mm-DDTHH:mm:ss.uuu+0100

It also supports a regex pattern, but that kinda defeats the purpose of this type.

  {
      foo  => iv_datetime,
      bar  => iv_datetime(optional => 1),
      baz  => iv_datetime(nillable => 1),
      quux => iv_datetime(pattern => qr/^\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d$/,
  }

=item iv_object

This types matches objects (hashes). It will recurse into the elements it contains.
A hash as a pattern is automatically turned into a iv_object. Using a hash is the
idiomatic way, unless you need to mark it as optional or nillable.

  {
      foo => { ... },
      bar => iv_object(optional => 1, { ... }),
      baz => iv_object(nillable => 1, { ... }),
  }

=item iv_array - will match arrays

This type will match arrays in two different ways. For one it can match a payload
against a fixed shape, and second it can match against an elemnt base type.
A literal array reference ([]) is turned into an iv_array of the first kind
automatically. The following is valid:

  {
      foo  => [iv_int, iv_word, ...],
      bar  => iv_array(optional => 1, [iv_int, iv_word, ...]),
      baz  => iv_array(nillable => 1, [iv_int, iv_word, ...]),
      quux => iv_array(of => iv_int, min => 1, max => 7),
  }
