class Athena::Validator::Metadata::ClassMetadata(T)
      
inherits Reference
#
  Represents metadata associated with an AVD::Validatable instance.
self is lazily initialized and cached at the class level.
Includes metadata about the class; such as its name, constraints, etc.
Included modules
Athena::Validator::Metadata::GenericMetadata
Constructors#
    .build : self#
  Builds self, auto registering any annotation based annotations on T,
as well as those registered via T.load_metadata.
Methods#
    #add_constraint(constraints : Array(AVD::Constraint)) : self#
  Adds each of the provided constraints to self.
    #add_constraint(constraint : AVD::Constraint) : self#
  Adds the provided constraint to self's #constraints array.
Sets #cascading_strategy to AVD::Metadata::CascadingStrategy::Cascade if the constraint is AVD::Constraints::Valid.
Also adds the #class_name based group via AVD::Constraint#add_implicit_group.
    #add_getter_constraint(method_name : String, constraint : AVD::Constraint) : self#
  Adds the provided constraint to the provided method_name.
    #add_property_constraint(property_name : String, constraints : Array(AVD::Constraint)) : self#
  Adds each of the provided constraints to the provided property_name.
    #add_property_constraint(property_name : String, constraint : AVD::Constraint) : self#
  Adds the provided constraint to the provided property_name.
    #add_property_constraints(property_hash : Hash(String, AVD::Constraint | Array(AVD::Constraint))) : self#
  Adds a hash of constraints to self, where the keys represent the property names, and the value
is the constraint/array of constraints to add.
    #constrained_properties : Array(String)#
  Returns an array of the properties who self has constraints defined for.
    #group_sequence : AVD::Constraints::GroupSequence | ::Nil#
  The AVD::Constraints::GroupSequence used by self, if any.
    #group_sequence=(sequence : Array(String) | AVD::Constraints::GroupSequence) : self#
  Sets the AVD::Constraints::GroupSequence that should be used for self.
Raises an AVD::Exception::InvalidArgument if self is an AVD::Constraints::GroupSequence::Provider,
the sequence contains AVD::Constraint::DEFAULT_GROUP,
or the #class_name based group is missing.
    #group_sequence_provider=(active : Bool) : Nil#
  Denotes self as a AVD::Constraints::GroupSequence::Provider.
    #has_property_metadata?(property_name : String) : Bool#
  Returns true if self has property metadata for the provided property_name.
    #property_metadata(property_name : String) : Array(AVD::Metadata::PropertyMetadataInterface)#
  Returns an AVD::Metadata::PropertyMetadataInterface instance for the provided property_name, if any.
