Justin Mclean resolved FLEX-29.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Committed to patches branch. All unit tests pass.
> Existing validator and formatter classes only validate US and Canadian
> postcodes
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLEX-29
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-29
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Justin Mclean
> Assignee: Justin Mclean
> Priority: Minor
>
> Despite the Flex SDK having several supported locales it only supports US and
> Canadian style zip codes. It should provide a more flexible way to validate
> and format worldwide postcodes.
> I've created PostCodeValidation and PostCodeFormatter classes that solve that
> very issue.
> The components, tests and example application can be found here:
> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/flex/whiteboard/jmclean/validators/src/
> Compared to the existing validators they:
> 1. Supports a wide range of postcode formats both numeric and alpha numeric
> 2. Provide convenience functions to obtain formats for common locales
> 3. Provides a mechanism for user defined validation
> 4. Supports fullwidth characters (as it uses flash.globization classes for
> string comparisons)
> 5. Easier to extend (although less need to do so as they are more flexible)
> Code has been:
> 1. Reviewed by a couple of people on the list and code has been updated based
> on those reviews.
> 2. Generates nice ASdocs.
> 3. Working examples has been provided.
> 4. Code is unit tested including fullwidth characters.
> 5. Code is better quality than existing ZipCode validator components (IMO)
> Possibly outstanding.
> There are some architectural changes that could be made but they they would
> probably have to be made to all Validators.
> The ASDocs could do with a review but certainly reasonable.
