Bugzilla::WebService::Util - Utility functions used inside of the WebService code. These are not functions that can be called via the WebService.
This is somewhat like Bugzilla::Util, but these functions are only used internally in the WebService code.
filter({ include_fields => ['id', 'name'],
exclude_fields => ['name'] }, $hash);
my $wants = filter_wants $params, 'field_name';
validate(@_, 'ids');
This helps implement the include_fields and exclude_fields arguments of WebService methods. Given a hash (the second argument to this subroutine), this will remove any keys that are not in include_fields and then remove any keys that are in exclude_fields.
Returns 1 if a filter would preserve the specified field when passing a hash to "filter", 0 otherwise.
This helps in the validation of parameters passed into the WebService methods. Currently it converts listed parameters into an array reference if the client only passed a single scalar value. It modifies the parameters hash in place so other parameters should be unaltered.
