Trait Validate 

pub trait Validate {
    // Required method
    fn validate(&self) -> Vec<ValidationIssue>;

    // Provided method
    fn is_valid(&self) -> bool { ... }
}

Types that can validate themselves against FHIR constraints.

Required Methods

fn validate(&self) -> Vec<ValidationIssue>

Return all validation issues; an empty vector means the value is valid.

Provided Methods

fn is_valid(&self) -> bool

Convenience: true when Validate::validate finds no issues.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".

Implementations on Foreign Types

impl Validate for String

A bare String (used by a few fields) carries no FHIR-level constraint here.

fn validate(&self) -> Vec<ValidationIssue>

impl Validate for Value

Arbitrary embedded JSON (e.g. a contained resource) is not structurally validated here.

fn validate(&self) -> Vec<ValidationIssue>

impl<T: ?Sized> Validate for PhantomData<T>

A zero-sized type marker (e.g. the phantom on Reference<T>) has nothing to validate.

fn validate(&self) -> Vec<ValidationIssue>

impl<T: Validate> Validate for Box<T>

fn validate(&self) -> Vec<ValidationIssue>

impl<T: Validate> Validate for Option<T>

fn validate(&self) -> Vec<ValidationIssue>

impl<T: Validate> Validate for Vec1<T>

A non-empty Vec1 (used for FHIR 1..* elements) validates each element.

fn validate(&self) -> Vec<ValidationIssue>

impl<T: Validate> Validate for Vec<T>

fn validate(&self) -> Vec<ValidationIssue>

Implementors

impl Validate for Decimal

Decimal validates its own lexeme (spec R2.6).

One impl for one shared type: were this written per release, compiling two releases together would be a conflicting-impl error.

impl<E> Validate for Coded<E>

impl<T: Validate> Validate for PrimVec<T>
