Detailed Description

template<typename file_t = void>
class seqan3::output_file_validator< file_t >

A validator that checks if a given path is a valid output file.

Template Parameters
file_tThe type of the file to get the valid extensions for; void on default.

On construction, the validator can receive a list (std::vector over std::string) of valid file extensions. The class acts as a functor that throws a seqan3::validation_error exception whenever a given filename's extension (std::string) is not in the given list of valid file extensions, or if the parent path does not have the proper writer permissions. In addition, the validator receives a seqan3::output_file_open_options which allows you to specify what to do if your output file already exists. seqan3::output_file_open_options::create_new will throw a seqan3::validation_error exception if it already exists and seqan3::output_file_open_options::open_or_create will skip this check (that means you are allowed to overwrite the existing file).

The valid extensions can also be obtained from a seqan3 formatted file type, e.g. seqan3::sequence_input_file, if it is given as template argument to this class. The following snippet demonstrates the different ways to instantiate the seqan3::output_file_validator.

Provides seqan3::sequence_file_output and corresponding traits classes.
Provides some standard validators for (positional) options.
Note
The validator works on every type that can be implicitly converted to std::filesystem::path.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ output_file_validator() [1/2]

template<typename file_t = void>
seqan3::output_file_validator< file_t >::output_file_validator ( )
inline

Default constructor.

If the class' template argument file_t names a valid seqan3 file type that contains a static member valid_formats, e.g. seqan3::sequence_input_file::valid_formats, then it generates the list of valid extensions from this file. Otherwise the extensions list is empty.

◆ output_file_validator() [2/2]

template<typename file_t = void>
seqan3::output_file_validator< file_t >::output_file_validator ( output_file_open_options const  mode,
std::vector< std::string extensions = default_extensions() 
)
inlineexplicit

Constructs from a given overwrite mode and a list of valid extensions.

Parameters
[in]modeA seqan3::output_file_open_options indicating whether the validator throws if a file already exists.
[in]extensionsThe valid extensions to validate for. Defaults to seqan3::output_file_validator::default_extensions.

Member Function Documentation

◆ default_extensions()

template<typename file_t = void>
static std::vector< std::string > seqan3::output_file_validator< file_t >::default_extensions ( )
inlinestatic

The default extensions of file_t.

Returns
A list of default extensions for file_t, will be empty if file_t is void.

If file_t does name a valid seqan3 file type that contains a static member valid_formats returns the extensions of that file_t type. Otherwise returns an empty list.

◆ get_help_page_message()

template<typename file_t = void>
std::string seqan3::output_file_validator< file_t >::get_help_page_message ( ) const
inline

Returns a message that can be appended to the (positional) options help page info.

Implements validator.

◆ operator()()

template<typename file_t = void>
virtual void seqan3::output_file_validator< file_t >::operator() ( std::filesystem::path const &  file) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Tests whether path is does not already exists and is writable.

Parameters
fileThe input value to check.
Exceptions
seqan3::validation_errorif the validation process failed. Might be nested with std::filesystem::filesystem_error on unhandled OS API errors.

Implements seqan3::file_validator_base.
