Few questions #10

Closed shon closed 12 years ago

shon commented 13 years ago

I am planning to use validictory for one of my projects. Main motivation is possible sharing of schema with frontend validators. I could not find quick answers for some of the questions.

Sorry for many questions. I can contribute to code if needed.

Custom error messages aren't something we have but I like the idea. If you are feeling up to it I'd be happy to take a look at a patch.

As far as custom validators, you can add a validate* method and it will validate that schema keyword. It is pretty straightforward, look at the way that any of the existing validate* methods work for details.

  • How to customize error messages?
  • Some validation libraries include dict (or similar structure) keyed by field names so that one can look at names and populate error messages accordingly. Is it a reasonable expectation to have such thing in Validictory? Or it's already there and just not documented.
  • How to add new custom validators?

Sorry for many questions. I can contribute to code if needed.

Thanks for your answers. Generally I am willing to contribute to packages I use.

What is your take on multiple field error messages as a dict (my second question)?

Sorry about the delay, I think the multiple error messages as a dict could be a useful addition. I'd be happy to discuss more specific ideas on how to achieve this if you have them.
