TL;DR

Validateur is a functional validations library inspired by Ruby’s ActiveModel. Validateur 2.4 is a minor feature release.

Changes Between 2.3.0 and 2.4.0

Clojure 1.4 Support Dropped

The project no longer tries to maintain Clojure 1.4 compatibility.

validate-some

validate-some tries any number of validators, short-circuiting at the first failed validator. This behavior is similar to or.

(require '[validateur.validation :refer :all])

(let [v (validate-some
         (presence-of :cake-count :message "missing_cake")
         (validate-by :cake-count odd? :message "even_cake"))]

  "Odd cake counts are valid."
  (v {:cake-count 1})
  ;;=> [true #{}]


  "Even cake counts only throw the second error, since the first
  validation passed."
  (v {:cake-count 2})
  ;;=> [false {:cake-count #{"even_cake"}}]

  "The second validation never gets called and never throws a NPE, as
  it would if we just composed them up."
  (v {})
  ;;=> [false {:cake-count #{"missing_cake"}}]
  )

errors? and errors

Errors in validateur are vectors if keys are nested. If keys are only one layer deep – :cake, for example – the error can live at :cake or [:cake].

The errors function returns the set of errors for some key, nested or bare. :cake will return errors stored under [:cake] and vice-versa.

errors? is a boolean wrapper that returns true if some key has errors, false otherwise.
