Net::Amazon::Validate:UsermContributed PerNet::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch(3)NAMENet::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch - Validate ItemSearch requests.
SYNOPSIS
Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch;
my $valid = Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch::factory(search_index => 'Actor');
my $option = $itemsearch_valid->user_or_default($input);
my $default = $itemsearch_valid->default();
DESCRIPTION
"Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch" is a class used to verify
ItemSearch operation based on the current version of the WSDL and
locale. For example if an Artist search is executed the user can
search against Classical, Merchants, or Music.
METHODS
factory(search_index => type)
Constructs a new "Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch" object, used
to validate user input for a SearchIndex. Valid types include
Actor, Artist, AudienceRating, Author Brand, BrowseNode, City,
Composer, Condition, Conductor, Count, Cuisine, DeliveryMethod,
Director, ISPUPostalCode, ItemPage, Keywords, MPAARating,
Manufacturer, MaximumPrice, MerchantId, MinimumPrice, MusicLabel,
Neighborhood, Orchestra, Power, Publisher, Sort, TextStream and
Title. Which departments these search indexes are valid for is
dependent upon locale.
default()
Return the default value for a given SearchIndex. Default are
determined in order of preference and existence from the following
list: Books, Music, DVD, Software. If none of those items are
valid for a given SearchIndex then the first valid department of
said SearchIndex is used.
user_or_default( $input )
If user input is specified it validates the input, and return it,
otherwise it returns the default value for the SearchIndex.

NAMENet::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch - Validate user supplied options
against known valid options.
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch;
# ...
my $valid = Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch::factory(search_index => 'Actor');
$valid->user_or_default($input);
$valid->default();
DESCRIPTION
METHODS
Asin()
The item's ASIN number.
Please check the subclasses of "Net::Amazon::Validate" for specialized
methods.
TODO
I should probably add a function to dispatch calls automatically, that
way the user doesn't have to explicity call a function to verify an
option. It would make it very easy to write loops to validate input.
BUGS
This library was designed to validate ResponseGroup requests only.
Support for other parameters were autogenerated but not verified. The
biggest problems are with the intrepration of 'Integers 1 to 30', 'A
Merchant ID', or 'Amazon (the default value)'.
