Pull request overview
This PR enhances the RustAPI documentation by improving the learning curriculum and adding a new validation recipe. The curriculum now includes explicit numbered tasks and expanded knowledge checks for better learner engagement. The PR also exposes previously unlisted recipes (CI Simulation and Maintenance & Quality) in the cookbook's table of contents.
Changes:
- Enhanced curriculum with step-by-step tasks and additional knowledge check questions across all modules
- Added a new "Custom Validation" recipe documenting async custom validators
- Updated cookbook structure to include previously unlisted recipes

| - **Performance**: Async validators are only run if synchronous validators pass. | ||
| - **Context**: The `ValidationContext` is key for dependency injection. It allows your validators to remain pure and testable while still having access to the outside world. | ||
| - **Error Messages**: You can override the default error message in the attribute: `#[validate(custom = "my_func", message = "Bad value")]`. |

The mention of custom attribute in the error message override example is inconsistent with the codebase. Only custom_async is supported. This line should either say custom_async or be removed entirely since the synchronous custom validator feature does not exist.

The coverage map entry for Custom Validation incorrectly references rustapi-validate/src/custom.rs as the source. While this file exists, it provides a programmatic Validator builder API that is not integrated with the #[derive(Validate)] macro. The actual source for custom validation is custom_async support in rustapi-macros/src/lib.rs (lines 1426-1460) which only supports async custom validators. Since the recipe incorrectly documents synchronous custom validators that don't exist, this coverage entry is misleading.
| | Custom Validation | `recipes/custom_validation.md` | `rustapi-validate/src/custom.rs` | OK | | |
| | Custom Validation | `recipes/custom_validation.md` | `rustapi-macros/src/lib.rs` (`custom_async`) | Needs Update | |
| ## Solution: Synchronous Custom Validators | ||
|
|
||
| For logic that doesn't require async operations (like comparing two fields or checking a format), use `custom`. | ||
|
|
||
| ### 1. Define the Validator Function | ||
| The function must have the signature `fn(&T) -> Result<(), ValidationError>`. | ||
|
|
||
| ```rust | ||
| use rustapi_validate::ValidationError; | ||
|
|
||
| fn validate_no_spaces(username: &str) -> Result<(), ValidationError> { | ||
| if username.contains(' ') { | ||
| return Err(ValidationError::new("username_spaces")); | ||
| } | ||
| Ok(()) | ||

| ### 2. Apply it to the Struct | ||
|
|
||
| ```rust | ||
| use rustapi_macros::Validate; | ||
| use serde::Deserialize; | ||
|
|
||
| #[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Validate)] | ||

| #[validate(custom = "validate_no_spaces")] | ||

The synchronous custom validator attribute documented here does not exist in the codebase. The Validate derive macro only supports custom_async for custom validators (as seen in crates/rustapi-macros/src/lib.rs lines 1426-1460 and 1475-1479). There is no custom rule type in the synchronous validation logic (lines 1083-1315).
The custom.rs module provides a programmatic Validator builder API, but it's not integrated with the #[derive(Validate)] macro and cannot be used with the #[validate(custom = "...")] attribute syntax shown in this recipe.
Either this feature needs to be implemented first, or this section should be removed and the recipe should focus only on custom_async validators.

| ``` | |
| ## Synchronous Custom Validators | |
| At the moment, the `#[derive(Validate)]` macro only supports custom validators via the `custom_async` attribute. | |
| Synchronous custom rules (for example, `fn(&T) -> Result<(), ValidationError>`) can be implemented using the | |
| programmatic validator builder API, but they are **not** available through `#[validate(custom = \"...\")]` on | |
| struct fields yet. | |
| When you need custom validation for derived types, use `custom_async` as shown below. |
