Detailed Description

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

A validator that checks if a given path is a valid input 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::filesystem::path) is not in the given list of valid file extensions, if the file does not exist, or if the file does not have the proper read permissions.

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::input_file_validator.

return 0;
}
Provides seqan3::sequence_file_input 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

◆ input_file_validator() [1/2]

template<typename file_t = void>
seqan3::input_file_validator< file_t >::input_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.

◆ input_file_validator() [2/2]

template<typename file_t = void>
seqan3::input_file_validator< file_t >::input_file_validator ( std::vector< std::string extensions)
inlineexplicit

Constructs from a given collection of valid extensions.

Parameters
[in]extensionsThe valid extensions to validate for.

This constructor is only available if file_t does not name a valid seqan3 file type that contains a static member valid_formats.

Member Function Documentation

◆ get_help_page_message()

template<typename file_t = void>
std::string seqan3::input_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::input_file_validator< file_t >::operator() ( std::filesystem::path const &  file) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Tests whether path is an existing regular file and is readable.

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.
