Functions for validating optional arguments passed to your functions
To validate options with Optium, you need to provide it a option schema.
Schema is a map or a keyword list describing how each option should be
validated.
## Examples
%{port: [required: true],
address: [required: true, default: {0, 0, 0, 0}]}
Based on the schema above, Optium knows that `:port` option is required,
and it will return an `Optium.OptionMissingError` if it is not provided.
`:address` is also required, but by defining a default value you make sure
that no errors will be returned and that default value will be appended
to parsed options list instead. Use `Optium.parse/2` to parse and validate
options:
iex> schema = %{port: [required: true],
...> address: [required: true, default: {0, 0, 0, 0}]}
iex> [port: 12_345, address: {127, 0, 0, 1}] |> Optium.parse(schema)
{:ok, [port: 12_345, address: {127, 0, 0, 1}]}
iex> [port: 12_345] |> Optium.parse(schema)
{:ok, [address: {0, 0, 0, 0}, port: 12_345]}
iex> [address: {127, 0, 0, 1}] |> Optium.parse(schema)
{:error, %Optium.OptionMissingError{key: :port}}
There is also `Optium.parse!/2`, which follows Elixir's convention of "bang
functions" and raises and error instead of returning it.
iex> schema = %{port: [required: true],
...> address: [required: true, default: {0, 0, 0, 0}]}
iex> [address: {127, 0, 0, 1}] |> Optium.parse!(schema)
** (Optium.OptionMissingError) option :port is required
## Schema
Schemas are keyword lists or maps with atoms as keys, and validation
options lists as values. Currently two validation options are supported:
`:required` and `:default`. When option is `:required`, `parse/2` returns
`Optium.OptionMissingError` if it is not present in the provided options list.
This can be overriden by providing `:default` value, which is put into
provided options list if no such option is present.
Note that returned, validated options list contains only those options which
keys are present in the schema. You can add an option to schema with empty
validation options list (like `%{key: []}`), but it doesn't make much sense
because you most likely want to have some default value anyway.
## Error handling
As mentioned before, `parse/2` returns `{:error, error}` tuple, where `error`
is a relevant exception struct. All Optium exceptions implement
`Exception.message/1` callback, so you can use `Exception.message(error)`
to provide nice error message to users of your functions. `parse!/2` intercepts
exception structs and raises them instead of returning.
