DESCRIPTION

This plugin provide auto validation to Plugin::FormValidator::Simple.

You can define validation profiles into config or YAML file, and no longer have to write it in actions.

BUNDLING ERROR MESSAGES

With 0.08 or earlier version, you need define validator profiles and error messages in separately.

So, you had to write two settings like this:

        # profiles.yml
        action1:
          param1:
            - NOT_BLANK

# messages.yml

action1

param1

NOT_BLANK: param1 is required!

It's bothered!

Since 0.09, you can place error messages in profiles config.

Above two configs is equals to:

        # profiles.yml
        action1:
          param1:
            - rule: NOT_BLANK
              message: param1 is required!

METHODS
validator_profile
An accessor for current profile name

form_messages
form_messages( 'key' );
Return error messages about current validator profile.

If the key isn't presented, return all messages as hash.

EXTENDED METHODS
