Detailed Description

template<typename option_value_t>
class seqan3::value_list_validator< option_value_t >

A validator that checks whether a value is inside a list of valid values.

Template Parameters
option_value_tMust be a (container of) arithmetic type(s).

On construction, the validator must receive a range or parameter pack of valid values. The struct than acts as a functor, that throws a seqan3::parser_invalid_argument exception whenever a given value is not in the given list.

Note
In order to simplify the chaining of validators, the option value type is deduced to double for ranges whose value type models seqan3::arithmetic, and to std::string if the ranges value type is convertible to it. Otherwise, the option value type is deduced to the value type of the range.
int main(int argc, const char ** argv)
{
seqan3::argument_parser myparser{"Test", argc, argv}; // initialize
int myint;
seqan3::value_list_validator my_validator{2, 4, 6, 8, 10};
myparser.add_option(myint,'i',"integer","Give me a number.",
// an exception will be thrown if the user specifies an integer
// that is not one of [2,4,6,8,10] (e.g. "./test_app -i 3")
try
{
myparser.parse();
}
catch (seqan3::parser_invalid_argument const & ext) // the user did something wrong
{
std::cerr << "[PARSER ERROR] " << ext.what() << "\n"; // customize your error message
return -1;
}
seqan3::debug_stream << "integer given by user passed validation: " << myint << "\n";
return 0;
}

Validates the value 'cmp' and throws a seqan3::validation_failed on failure.

Template Parameters
option_value_typeThe type of the value to be validated.
Parameters
[in,out]cmpThe value to be validated.
Exceptions
seqan3::validation_failedif value 'cmp' does not pass validation.
Attention
This is a concept requirement, not an actual function (however types satisfying this concept will provide an implementation).
