zulip/zerver/lib/validator.py

'''
This module sets up a scheme for validating that arbitrary Python
objects are correctly typed.  It is totally decoupled from Django,
composable, easily wrapped, and easily extended.

A validator takes two parameters--var_name and val--and returns an
error if val is not the correct type.  The var_name parameter is used
to format error messages.  Validators return None when there are no errors.

Example primitive validators are check_string, check_int, and check_bool.

Compound validators are created by check_list and check_dict.  Note that
those functions aren't directly called for validation; instead, those
functions are called to return other functions that adhere to the validator
contract.  This is similar to how Python decorators are often parameterized.

The contract for check_list and check_dict is that they get passed in other
validators to apply to their items.  This allows you to build up validators
for arbitrarily complex validators.  See ValidatorTestCase for example usage.

A simple example of composition is this:

   check_list(check_string)('my_list', ['a', 'b', 'c']) is None

To extend this concept, it's simply a matter of writing your own validator
for any particular type of object.
