A verification is a complementary validation to the type which allows the content of a variable to be validated more precisely.
A :term:`validator` is necessarily a Jinja type calculation.
The purpose of validation is to verify that the variable is of :ref:`good quality <data_quality>` and/or that the variable is :ref:`consistent <consistency>`.
.. glossary::
validator
A validator is a Jinja code that parses a variable's value and checks
that this value corresponds to some stated criteria.
This is a `validator` parameter of our variable, and another `jinja` sub-parameter
contains validation code for the variable's value.
.. seealso:: The tutorial with a real world sample :ref:`validators <tutorial_validators>`
Parameters
--------------
Depending on the types of calculation, the parameters will be different:

* - **Calculation type**
- **Parameter**
- **Comments**

- **type**
- **Comment**
* - **type**

- jinja
* - **jinja**
- The value is `jinja`
* - **jinja**

- Jinja template
- {% if rougail.variable == 'not_allowed' %}not allowed!{% endif %}
-
- Please set a Jinja template.
* - **params**
`list`
- Additional parameters passed to the Jinja template
-
-
There are two types of parameter:
`dict`
- Additional parameters passed to the Jinja template (see below).
* - **return_type**
`string`
- A validation could returns the error message directly, so return_type is `string` (the default behavior).
Or a `boolean`, in this case if it's return `true` this means that the value is not valid.
* - **description**
`string`
- Additional information for the :ref:`documentation <data_documentation>` and the error message in case of return_type is a boolean.
* - **warnings**
`boolean`
- If `true` the validation did not raise, it only display a warning.
Params
~~~~~~
There are two types of params:
- the standard parameters (string, boolean, integer, float or null), in this case just do: "key: value"
- advanced settings (with something like "key: {}":
- the standard parameters (string, boolean, integer, null), in this case just do: "key: value"
- advanced settings:
- parameter via a variable
- parameter via an information
- parameter via a suffix: in the case of a variable in a dynamic family
- parameter via an index: in the case of a :term:`follower` variable
.. list-table::
:widths: 15 25 20 15
- parameter via an identifier: in a dynamic family returns the current identifier
- parameter via an index: in the case of a :term:`follower` variable returns the current index
- parameter via :ref:`the current namespace name <namespace>`

(for example `disabled`) by default an error is returned.

- If the variable is not defined the value is always `null`.
**Default value**: `false`
- `true`
* - **whole**
`boolean`
- In :term:`dynamically built family` only the value of the current index is retrieve. If this parameter is set to `true` it returns all
If this parameter is set to `true`, it returns the set of values for all indices.
**Default value**: `false`
- `true`

A verification function must take into account 2 important aspects:
- the value may not be entered (even if the variable is mandatory), the None value must be taken into account
- if the value is invalid, a sentence must be returned with an explicit message.
- if return_type is `string` and the value is invalid, a sentence must be returned with an explicit message.
From now on only `None` and lowercase values will be allowed.
From now on only `null` and lowercase values will be allowed.

In this example, we see a dynamic family. Two families will be created: `rougail.my_dyn_family_val1.my_dyn_var` and `rougail.my_dyn_family_val2.my_dyn_var`.
my_dyn_family_{{ identifier }}:
type: dynamic
dynamic:
- val1
- val2
description: 'Describe {{ identifier }}'
The value of the variable within this family cannot be equal to the value
of the suffix (`val1` and `val2` respectively).

In this example, we see a :term:`dynamically built family`. Two families will be created: `my_dyn_family_val1.my_dyn_var` and `my_dyn_family_val2.my_dyn_var`.
The value of the variable within this family cannot be equal to the value
of the identifier (`val1` and `val2` respectively).

Redefinition
---------------
family:
type: sequence
In a first dictionary, let's declare our variable and its verification function:
leader:
default:
- val1
- val2
.. code-block:: yaml
---
version: 1.1
my_variable:
validators:
- type: jinja
jinja: |
{% if rougail.my_variable and not rougail.my_variable.islower() %}
{{ rougail.my_variable }} is not lowercase string
{% endif %}
In a second dictionary it is possible to redefine the calculation:
.. code-block:: yaml
---
version: 1.1
my_variable:
redefine: true
validators:
- type: jinja
jinja: |
{% if rougail.my_variable and ' ' in rougail.my_variable %}
{{ rougail.my_variable }} has a space
{% endif %}
In this case only this validator will be executed.
Here is a third dictionary in which we remove the validation:
.. code-block:: yaml
---
version: 1.1
my_variable:
redefine: true
validators:
follower1:
type: integer
validators:
- type: jinja
jinja: |-
{% if family.follower1 == param1 %}
forbidden!
{% endif %}

If it returns a string of characters, it indicates the validation error.
