OrRule

Inherits: IValidationRule

Description

The OrRule class allows you to validate combinations of rules created with OR logical operations.

Important points

• When one of the combined rules returns no errors, then this rule also returns no errors.
• When all combined rules return errors, then this rule returns all the errors.

Constructors

public OrRule(params IValidationRule[] rules)

• rules: IValidationRule[] - list of rules to join with OR operators

Instance methods

Validates a given value against this rule.

public void Validate(string path, Schema schema, object value, List<ValidationResult> results)

• path: string - path to the value in dot notation.
• schema: Schema - schema this rule is called from
• value: object - value to be validated.
• results: List<ValidationResult> - list with validation results to add new results.

Examples

var schema = new Schema().WithRule(new OrRule(new ValueComparisonRule("LT", 1), 
                                              new ValueComparisonRule("GT", 10)));

schema.Validate(0);          // Result: no error
schema.Validate(5);          // Result: 5 must be less than 1 or 5 must be more than 10
schema.Validate(20);         // Result: no error
