Validation hooks

[sck_spb]

Hi all!

What is expected way to perform validation?

Thank you

Hello,

Can you please be more specific? What's your use case?

Regards,
Alexander

Thx for response, Alexander.

Consider validating models in bean-validation-style: JSR 303 Hibernate ref impl 

(or something like Django validation / Yii validation).

The naive implementation of such behavior is checking values in "setter" param 

in field definition. But seems to me, it's not the proper way in terms of code reuse

and design overall. 

The generic implementation of such behavior may include composable setters 

for fields (setter as a monadic container)

I may have misreaded something in sources, so my question may be rather 

stupid. If so, apologies

mongo-scala-driver has no validation hooks. The only it has is static typing (vs. MongoDB java driver), that's it.

Suppose you prefer single concern principle compliance of you library, so that

m-s-d is only a statically-typed odm, is it so? btw, static typing is really great, 

as well as mapper facility, that's why i think m-s-d > others.

At the same time, could you, please, give any advice how to deal with validation?

Could extending MongoObjectShape with "validate" method and calling it then

be an option? 

Thank you.

Hi

As Alexander said validation is not a concern of mongo-scala-driver.
It deals only with persistence. As an external validator for scala you
can use something like https://github.com/wfaler/recursivity-commons.
I think it is appropriate almost for all needs related to validation.

Best regards,
Dmitry

for functional validation scalaz is awesome. For instance: https://gist.github.com/970717
