WELCOME TO THE COLDBOX VALIDATION MODULE

This module is a server side rules validation engine that can provide you with a unified approach to object, struct and form validation. You can construct validation constraint rules and then tell the engine to validate them accordingly.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Lucee 4.5+
Adobe ColdFusion 11+

INSTRUCTIONS

Just drop into your modules folder or use CommandBox to install:

box install cbvalidation

The module will register several objects into WireBox using the @cbvalidation namespace. The validation manager is registered as ValidationManager@cbvalidation. It will also register several helper methods that can be used throughout the ColdBox application.

Mixins

The module will also register two methods in your handlers/interceptors/layouts/views

/**
* Validate an object or structure according to the constraints rules.
* @target An object or structure to validate
* @fields The fields to validate on the target. By default, it validates on all fields
* @constraints A structure of constraint rules or the name of the shared constraint rules to use for validation
* @locale The i18n locale to use for validation messages
* @excludeFields The fields to exclude in the validation
* @includeFields The fields to include ONLY in the validation
* 
* @return cbvalidation.model.result.IValidationResult
*/
function validateModel()

/**
* Retrieve the application's configured Validation Manager
*/
function getValidationManager()

Settings

Here are the module settings you can place in your ColdBox.cfc by using the validation settings structure:

validation = {
    // The third-party validation manager to use, by default it uses CBValidation.
    manager = "class path",
    
    // You can store global constraint rules here with unique names
    sharedConstraints = {
        name = {
            field = { constraints here }
        }
    }

}

"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ." Romans 5:5

THE DAILY BREAD
