Hi all, I've been toying with different techniques in how to make this code more compact. I have a few sanity checks like this, but against different incoming fields.
The problem I have, is that I don't like the fact that the "if"
condition contains the exact same line of code that a sub-section of the
add_message() function is receiving as a parameter. I know there is a
way to bundle it better, but in my testing, I haven't been able to do it.
While it may likely be mostly irrelevant, the code below is operating
within the namespace of an object in the third level of the call stack.
It has been passed a string to test (which gets copied into %$data), and
an Error object which it must update if necessary. (I hope the code
renders properly in the email).
# item name
if (length($data->{item_name}) == 0) {
$error->add_message( "item_name is undefined" );
}
if ($self->safe_string($data->{item_name})) {
$error->add_message( "item_name has potentially dangerous chars:".
$self->safe_string($data->{item_name})
);
}
Steve
ps. I'm currently working on a hash within my Vars class that will map
names to error messages (and types).
