- io.github.mmm.validation.main.ObjectValidatorBuilder<V,PARENT,SELF>

Type Parameters:

V - the generic type of the value to validate.

PARENT - the generic type of the parent builder.

SELF - the generic type of this builder itself (this).

All Implemented Interfaces:

Builder<Validator<? super V>>, ValidatorRegistry<V,SELF>

Direct Known Subclasses:

CharSequenceValidatorBuilder, ComparableValidatorBuilder, ContainerValidatorBuilder, ValidatorBuilderBoolean, ValidatorBuilderObject, ValidatorBuilderRange
```
public abstract class ObjectValidatorBuilder<V,PARENT,SELF extends ObjectValidatorBuilder<V,PARENT,SELF>>
extends Object
implements Builder<Validator<? super V>>, ValidatorRegistry<V,SELF>
```
This is the base class to create instances of AbstractValidator using the builder pattern.

Since:

1.0.0

```
public ObjectValidatorBuilder(PARENT parent)
```
    The constructor.
    
    Parameters:
    
    parent - the parent builder.
- Method Detail
  - add
```
public SELF add(Validator<? super V> validator)
```
    Specified by:
    
    add in interface ValidatorRegistry<V,PARENT>
    
    Parameters:
    
    validator - the AbstractValidator to add to this builder.
    
    Returns:
    
    this build instance for fluent API calls.
  - getValidators
```
protected <T> List<Validator<? super T>> getValidators(ObjectValidatorBuilder<T,?,?> builder)
```
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the generic type of the value to validate.
    
    Parameters:
    
    builder - the ObjectValidatorBuilder.
    
    Returns:
    
    the List of validators.
  - and
```
public PARENT and()
```
    Returns:
    
    the parent Builder or null if <PARENT> is void.
  - self
```
protected SELF self()
```
    Returns:
    
    this build instance for fluent API calls.
  - add
```
public SELF add(AbstractValidator<? super V> validator)
```
    Parameters:
    
    validator - the AbstractValidator to add to this builder.
    
    Returns:
    
    this build instance for fluent API calls.
  - mandatory
```
public SELF mandatory()
```
    Value is mandatory.
    
    Returns:
    
    this build instance for fluent API calls.
  - min
```
public SELF min(String min)
```
    This method allows to define a minimum. Values exceeding this minimum will be invalid. Avoid using min(String) and max(String) and use range(String, String) in such case.
    
    Parameters:
    
    min - the minimum value allowed.
    
    Returns:
    
    this build instance for fluent API calls.
  - max
```
public SELF max(String max)
```
    This method allows to define a maximum. Values exceeding this maximum will be invalid.
    
    Parameters:
    
    max - the maximum value allowed.
    
    Returns:
    
    this build instance for fluent API calls.
  - range
```
public abstract SELF range(String min,
                           String max)
```
    This method allows to define a range in a generic way. If you have a properly typed builder please use more specific methods such as ComparableValidatorBuilder.range(io.github.mmm.base.range.Range) instead.
    
    Parameters:
    
    min - the minimum value allowed or null for no lower bound.
    
    max - the maximum value allowed or null for no upper bound.
    
    Returns:
    
    this build instance for fluent API calls.
  - build
```
public Validator<? super V> build()
```
    Description copied from interface: Builder
    
    Creates a new instance of the object to build. If the Builder is reused, any additional changes to the Builder shall NOT have any effect on instances previously returned by this method.
    
    Specified by:
    
    build in interface Builder<V>
    
    Returns:
    
    the AbstractValidator
