Honour Brigde

Objective-C Bridge for Honour Validation library

Bridge classes to allow you to use Honour in Objective-C projects.

Validator.mustBe(Uppercase()).andMust(StartsWith("F")).validate("FOOBAR")

Turns to:

[[[HBValidator mustBe:[HBUppercase new]] andMust:[[HBStartsWith alloc] initWithValue:@"F"]] validate:@"FOOBAR"];

Usage

Single Validation

NSString *username = @"jeanpimentel";
[[HBLowercase new] validate:username];

Chained Validation

It is possible to use validators in a chain.

NSString *username = @"jeanpimentel";

HBValidator *v = [HBValidator new];
[v addRule:[HBLowercase new]];
[v addRule:[HBNoWhitespace new]];
[v addRule:[[HBLength alloc] initWithMin:3 max:60]];

[v validate:username]; // YES

// or

[[v addRule:[HBLowercase new]] addRule:[HBNoWhitespace new]] addRule:[[HBLength alloc] initWithMin:3 max:60]];
[v validate:username]; // YES

Syntax sugar

It is possible to use some syntax tricks to be highly expressive.

HBValidator *v = [[[HBValidator mustHave:[[HBLength alloc] initWithMin:3 max:60]]
                                     and:[HBNoWhitespace new]]
                               andMustBe:[HBLowercase new]];

[v validate:@"jeanpimentel"]; // YES

Granularity control

We have 3 validation methods

• validate() - returns YES or NO
• assert() - returns a instance of HBAssertResult that contains the result YES/NO and all errors, if any.
• check() - returns a instance of HBCheckResult that contains the result YES/NO and the first error, if any.

Validate

- (BOOL)validate:(NSString *)value;

HBValidator *validator = [[HBValidator alloc] init];
[validator addRule:[[HBUppercase alloc] init]];
[validator addRule:[[HBStartsWith alloc] initWithValue:@"J"]];

[validator validate:@"JEAN"]; // YES
[validator validate:@"PIMENTEL"]; // NO

Assert

- (HBAssertResult *)assert:(NSString *)value;

HBValidator *validator = [[HBValidator alloc] init];
[validator addRule:[[HBUppercase alloc] init]];
[validator addRule:[[HBStartsWith alloc] initWithValue:@"J"]];

HBAssertResult *result = [validator assert:@"JEAN"];
result.isValid      // YES
result.invalidRules // [] (empty)

HBAssertResult *result = [validator assert:@"Jean"];
result.isValid      // NO
result.invalidRules // [HBUppercase*]

HBAssertResult *result = [validator assert:@"Felipe"];
result.isValid      // NO
result.invalidRules // [HBUppercase*, HBStartsWith*]

Check

- (HBCheckResult *)check:(NSString *)value;

HBValidator *validator = [[HBValidator alloc] init];
[validator addRule:[[HBUppercase alloc] init]];
[validator addRule:[[HBStartsWith alloc] initWithValue:@"J"]];

HBAssertResult *result = [validator assert:@"JEAN"];
result.isValid     // YES
result.invalidRule // nil

HBAssertResult *result = [validator assert:@"Felipe"];
result.isValid     // NO
result.invalidRule // HBUppercase*

HBAssertResult *result = [validator assert:@"FELIPE"];
result.isValid     // NO
result.invalidRule // HBStartsWith*
