Configuration File

You can optionally register constraints in your ColdBox configuration file under the validation directive. This means you register them with a unique name of your choice and its value is a collection of constraints for fields in your objects or forms. These will be called lovingly Shared Constraints.
Here is an example:
Declaration
config/ColdBox.cfc
1
validation = {
2
    sharedConstraints = {
3
        sharedUser = {
4
            fName = {required=true},
5
            lname = {required=true},
6
            age   = {required=true, max=18 }
7
            metadata = {required=false, type="json"}
8
        },
9
        loginForm = {
10
            username = {required=true}, password = {required=true}
11
        },
12
        changePasswordForm = {
13
            password = {required=true,min=6}, password2 = {required=true, sameAs="password", min=6}
14
        }
15
    }
16
}

As you can see, our constraints definition describes the set of rules for a property on ANY target object or form by unique key name.
Usage
You can then use the keys for those constraints in the validation calls:
1
validate( target, "sharedUser" );
2
​
3
validate( rc, "loginForm" );
4
​
5
validate( rc, "changePasswordForm" );
