=head1 NAME

Data::Rx::Tools::ShareDirValidator - A Simple base class for generating simple validators based on Data::Rx

=head1 VERSION

version 0.1.3

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package Foo;
  use Data::Rx::Tools::ShareDirValidator;
  use parent 'Data::Rx::Tools::ShareDirValidator';

  sub filename { 'schema' } # default value.
  sub suffix  {'.json'} # default value.

  1;

  ...

Later:

  use Foo;
  Foo->check({ some => [ 'data', 'structure' ] }) # true/false

  1;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this is to make creating a portable validator with Data::Rx as painless as possible, while still
permitting you to keep the specification itself separate from the actual implementation.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 filename

Defaults to just 'schema' and is combined with L</suffix> to form the name of the file
to load from the share directory.

=head2 suffix

Defaults to '.json' and is combined with L</filename> to form the name of the file.

=head2 check

  ClassName->check( $data )

Does all the lifting behind this module and validates the data in $data.

=head2 decode_file

Defaults to a decoder that can read JSON files.

  ->decode_file( Path::Class::File $file )

Override this method with something else if you don't want JSON files.

=head1 IMPLEMENTATION INSTRUCTIONS

=over 4

=item 1. Create package 'Foo' and fill it with the generic boilerplate to extend the base class.

=item 2. Generate your Data::Rx schema in the format you desire ( ideally JSON ) and place it in the modules "Share" directory.

( i.e.: With Dist::Zilla, you would do this:

  [ModuleSharedirs]
  Foo = sharedir/Foo

or something similar. )

=item 3. Ship your distribution and/or install it.

=item 4. Use it by simply doing:

  use Foo;
  if( Foo->check({ datastructure => [] })

passing the data structure you need validated to check().

=back

=head1 EXTENDING

By default, we assume you want JSON for everything, so by default, the suffix is ".json",
and the default deserialiser is as follows:

  sub decode_file {
    my ( $self, $file ) = @_;
    require JSON;
    return JSON->new()->utf8(1)->relaxed(1)->decode( scalar $file->slurp() );
  }

If you want to use a file format other than JSON, overriding the suffix and decode_file sub is required.

Note: C<$file> in this context is a L<< C<file> from Path::Class|Path::Class::File >>, which is why we can
just do C<slurp()> on it.
