-module(validator_base_numericality).
-moduledoc("
Numerical input and range check.
Checks if the input is a number and within a certain range or equal to a fixed value. At the moment only integer inputs
are allowed.
Arguments are is, minimum and maximum.
For example, when the input must be 42:
```django
<input type=\"text\" id=\"number\" name=\"number\" value=\"\" />
{% validate id=\"number\" type={numericality is=42} %}
```
And for a number within a certain range:
```django
<input type=\"text\" id=\"percent\" name=\"percent\" value=\"\" />
{% validate id=\"percent\" type={numericality minimum=0 maximum=100} %}
```
Arguments
---------
| Argument | Description | Example |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| is | Tests for equality. | `is=42` |
| minimum | Minimum value. | `minimum=1` |
| maximum | Maximum value. | `maximum=100` |
| is\\\\_float | Boolean flag which tells if the input can be a floating point number. Defaults to false. | `is_float` `is_float=true` |
| not\\\\_a\\\\_number\\\\_message | Message to show when the entered value is not a number. Defaults to “Must be a number.” | `not_a_number_message=\"*\"` |
| not\\\\_an\\\\_integer\\\\_message | Message to show when the entered number is not an integer. Defaults to “Must be an integer.” | |
| wrong\\\\_number\\\\_message | Message to show when the entered number is unequal to the .is. argument. Defaults to “Must be ..” | |
| too\\\\_low\\\\_message | Message for when the entered number is less than the minimum allowed. Defaults to “Must not be less than ..” | |
| too\\\\_high\\\\_message | Message for when the entered number is greater than the maximum allowed. Defaults to “Must not be more than ..” | |
