defmodule Exvalibur do
@moduledoc """
`Exvalibur` is the generator for blazingly fast validators of maps based on sets of predefined rules.
Generally speaking, one provides a list of rules in a format of a map:
rules = [
%{matches: %{currency_pair: "EURUSD"},
conditions: %{rate: %{min: 1.0, max: 2.0}}},
%{matches: %{currency_pair: "USDEUR"},
conditions: %{rate: %{min: 1.2, max: 1.3}}},
]
and calls `Exvalibur.validator!/2`. The latter will produce a validator module
with as many clauses of `valid?/1` function as we have rules above (plus one
handling-all clause.) Once generated, the `valid?/1` function of the module
generated might be called directly on the input data, providing blazingly fast
validation based completely on pattern matching and guards.
One should privide at least one match or condition:
iex> rules = [%{matches: %{currency_pair: "EURUSD"}}]
...> Exvalibur.validator!(rules, module_name: Exvalibur.MatchValidator)
...> Exvalibur.MatchValidator.valid?(%{currency_pair: "EURUSD", rate: 1.5})
{:ok, %{currency_pair: "EURUSD"}}
iex> rules = [%{conditions: %{rate: %{eq: 1.5}}}]
...> Exvalibur.validator!(rules, module_name: Exvalibur.ConditionValidator)
...> Exvalibur.ConditionValidator.valid?(%{currency_pair: "EURGBP", rate: 1.5})
{:ok, %{rate: 1.5}}
iex> rules = [%{foo: :bar}]
...> try do
...> Exvalibur.validator!(rules, module_name: Exvalibur.RaisingValidator)
...> rescue
...> e in [Exvalibur.Error] ->
...> e.reason
...> end
%{empty_rule: %{foo: :bar}}
"""
@doc """
Produces the validator module given the set of rules.
## Options
- `module_name :: binary()` the name of the module to produce; when omitted, it will be looked up in current application options
- `merge :: boolean()` when true, the existing rules are taken from the module (if exists) and being merged against current rules
- `flow :: boolean()` when true, the underlying module generator uses [`Flow`](https://hexdocs.pm/flow) to process an input
## Example
iex> rules = [
...> %{matches: %{currency_pair: "EURUSD"},
...> conditions: %{rate: %{min: 1.0, max: 2.0}}}]
...> Exvalibur.validator!(rules, module_name: Exvalibur.Validator)
...> Exvalibur.Validator.valid?(%{currency_pair: "EURUSD", rate: 1.5})
{:ok, %{currency_pair: "EURUSD", rate: 1.5}}
iex> Exvalibur.Validator.valid?(%{currency_pair: "EURGBP", rate: 1.5})
:error
iex> Exvalibur.Validator.valid?(%{currency_pair: "EURUSD", rate: 0.5})
:error
iex> rules = [
...> %{matches: %{currency_pair: "EURGBP"},
...> conditions: %{rate: %{min: 1.0, max: 2.0}}}]
...> Exvalibur.validator!(rules, module_name: Exvalibur.Validator)
...> Exvalibur.Validator.valid?(%{currency_pair: "EURGBP", rate: 1.5})
{:ok, %{currency_pair: "EURGBP", rate: 1.5}}
iex> Exvalibur.Validator.valid?(%{currency_pair: "EURUSD", rate: 1.5})
{:ok, %{currency_pair: "EURUSD", rate: 1.5}}
## Unknown conditions
iex> rules = [
...> %{matches: %{currency_pair: "EURGBP"},
...> conditions: %{rate: %{perfect: true}}}]
...> try do
...> Exvalibur.validator!(rules, module_name: Exvalibur.Validator)
...> rescue
...> e in [Exvalibur.Error] ->
...> e.reason
...> end
%{unknown_guard: :perfect}
When an unknown guard is passed to the rules conditions, compile-time error is produced
## Return value
Generated `valid?/1` function returns either `:error` or `{:ok, map()}`.
In a case of successful validation, the map contained values _that were indeed validated_.
Note that in the following example the value for `any` key is not returned.
iex> rules = [
...> %{matches: %{currency_pair: "EURGBP"},
...> conditions: %{
...> rate: %{min: 1.0, max: 2.0},
...> source: %{one_of: ["FOO", "BAR"]}}}]
...> Exvalibur.validator!(rules, module_name: Exvalibur.Validator, merge: false)
...> Exvalibur.Validator.valid?(%{currency_pair: "EURGBP", any: 42, rate: 1.5, source: "FOO"})
{:ok, %{currency_pair: "EURGBP", rate: 1.5, source: "FOO"}}
iex> Exvalibur.Validator.valid?(%{currency_pair: "EURUSD", any: 42, rate: 1.5, source: "BAH"})
