Interface Validation<E,T>

Type Parameters:

E - value type in the case of invalid

T - value type in the case of valid

All Superinterfaces:

Iterable<T>, Serializable, Value<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

Validation.Invalid, Validation.Valid

public interface Validation<E,T>
extends Value<T>, Serializable

An implementation similar to scalaz's Validation control.

The Validation type is different from a Monad type, it is an applicative functor. Whereas a Monad will short circuit after the first error, the applicative functor will continue on, accumulating ALL errors. This is especially helpful in cases such as validation, where you want to know all the validation errors that have occurred, not just the first one.

Validation construction:

Valid:
Validation<String,Integer> valid = Validation.valid(5);

Invalid:
Validation<List<String>,Integer> invalid = Validation.invalid(List.of("error1","error2"));

Validation combination:

Validation<String,String> valid1 = Validation.valid("John");
Validation<String,Integer> valid2 = Validation.valid(5);
Validation<String,Option<String>> valid3 = Validation.valid(Option.of("123 Fake St."));
Function3<String,Integer,Option<String>,Person> f = ...;

Validation<List<String>,String> result = valid1.combine(valid2).ap((name,age) -> "Name: "+name+" Age: "+age);
Validation<List<String>,Person> result2 = valid1.combine(valid2).combine(valid3).ap(f);

Another form of combining validations:

Validation<List<String>,Person> result3 = Validation.combine(valid1, valid2, valid3).ap(f);
