QuiddityGuard

STATUS: ACTIVE

contains methods and static lists for rapid acceptance of a particular set of quiddities. Note: I am not responsible for the name 'Quiddity'. Rumor has it the word comes from Sanskrit and means 'essence'.

Fields

TESTVISIBLE

a private testvisible variable allowing developers to inject a custom quiddity value during test execution.

public trustedQuiddities → List<Quiddity>

a non-exhaustive list of Quiddities that do not include user situations where users could be injecting malicious data.

public trustedTestQuiddities → List<Quiddity>

An exaustive list of quiddities that are valid for a test execution

public untrustedQuiddities → List<Quiddity>
