-- Valua 0.2.1
-- Copyright (c) 2014 Etiene Dalcol
-- License: MIT
--
-- Originally bundled with Sailor MVC Web Framework, now released as a separated module.
-- http://sailorproject.org
--
-- This module provides tools for validating values, very useful in forms, but also usable elsewhere.
-- It works in appended chains. Create a new validation object and start chaining your test functions.
-- If your value fails a test, it breaks the chain and does not evaluate the rest of it.
-- It returns a boolean and an error string (nil when tests succeeded)
--
-- Example 1 - Just create, chain and use:
--	valua:new().type("string").len(3,5)("test string!") -- false, "should have 3-5 characters"
--
-- Example 2 - Create, chain and later use it multiple times:
--	local reusable_validation = valua:new().type("string").len(3,5)
--	reusable_validation("test string!") -- false, "should have 3-5 characters"
--	reusable_validation("test!") -- true
--

local tinsert,setmetatable,len,match = table.insert,setmetatable,string.len,string.match
local tonumber,tostring = tonumber,tostring
local next,type,floor,ipairs = next,type,math.floor, ipairs
local unpack   = unpack or table.unpack
local pack     = table.pack or function(...) return { n = select('#', ...), ... } end

local _ENV = nil

local valua = {}

-- CORE
-- Caution, this is confusing

-- creates a new validation object, useful for reusable stuff and creating many validation tests at a time
function valua:new(obj)
	obj = obj or {}
	setmetatable(obj,self)
	-- __index will be called always when chaining validation functions
	self.__index = function(t,k)
		--saves a function named _<index> with its args in a funcs table, to be used later when validating
		return function(...)
			local args = pack(...)
			if k == 'optional' then
				obj.allow_nil = true
			else
				local f = function(value) return valua['_'..k](value, unpack(args, 1, args.n)) end
				tinsert(t.funcs,f)
			end
			return t

	self.__call = function(t,value)
		local res = true
		local err = nil
		local fres

		if value == nil and t.allow_nil then
			return res, err
		end

		-- iterates through all chained validations funcs that were packed, passing the value to be validated
		for _,f in ipairs(t.funcs) do

--

-- VALIDATION FUNCS
-- Add new funcs at will, they all should have the value to be validated as first parameter
--   and their names must be preceded by '_'.
-- For example, if you want to use .custom_val(42) on your validation chain, you need to create a
--   function valua._custom_val(<value var>,<other var>). Just remember the value var will be known
--   at the end of the chain and the other var, in this case, will receive '42'. You can add multiple other vars.
-- These functions can be called directly (valua._len("test",2,5))in a non-chained and isolated way of life
--   for quick stuff, but chaining is much cooler!
-- Return false,'<error message>' if the value fails the test and simply true if it succeeds.
