Notification usage

ValidateMe is not only a validation lib. It also has a notification center. When you use any extension method that ValidateMe offers and do not set the first parameter as false, once a validation fails, ValidateMe will generate an error message. There's a default error message for every single validation on it.

Once a validation fails and the message is created. Everytime you need to retrieve the messages, you just need to call

Notification.Get()

Get Method

Get method will return all error messages generated until the moment it is called. It receives a single parameter called clearAfterGet that will clear the error message stack after return. If you do not want it to clear, just pass false as parameter.

Notification.Get(false)

In any of the cases above, an IReadOnlyList of strings is returned. Each item of the list consists in "Code: Message" structure.

Support Properties

If you do not want to retrive the messages and just know if has occurred any error while validating, you can use Count that will return the number of errors or HasErrors that will return a boolean whether has errors.

Messages

By default, ValidateMe has one error message for each validation that fails. But, if you want to change the messages it is possible. You can create your own error messages by generating a JSON file and set it on Error class in its SetPath(string file) static method. Your JSON must be in the following structure:

{ "MessageTitle": "New message" }

In the following table you can check all messages title, content and code.

* This message is not returned to Notification message stack. Instead it throws an exception, since it validates the type - which is developer responsability - and not its content.
