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']) == None
|
|
|
|
To extend this concept, it's simply a matter of writing your own validator
|
|
for any particular type of object.
