                options => 'Client'

DESCRIPTION
Validation::Class::Directive::Options is a core validation class field directive that holds an enumerated list of values to be validated against the associated parameters.

•   alternative argument: an-array-of-user-defined-options

    This directive can be passed a single value or an array of values:

        fields => {
            user_role => {
                options => ['Client', 'Employee', 'Administrator']
            }
        }

        # the following examples are useful for plugins (and other code)
        # that may want to otherwise identify option values

        fields => {
            user_role => {
                options => [
                    '1|Client',
                    '2|Employee',
                    '3|Administrator'
                ]
            }
        }

        # please note:
        # declaring options as "keyed-options" will cause the validation of
        # the option's key and NOT the option's value

        fields => {
            user_role => {
                options => [
                    [ 1 => 'Client' ],
                    [ 2 => 'Employee' ],
                    [ 3 => 'Administrator' ]
                ]
            }
        }
