# NAME

Bugzilla::WebService::Util - Utility functions used inside of the WebService code. These are not functions that can be called via the WebService.

# DESCRIPTION

This is somewhat like Bugzilla::Util, but these functions are only used internally in the WebService code.

# SYNOPSIS

     filter({ include_fields => ['id', 'name'],
              exclude_fields => ['name'] }, $hash);

     validate(@_, 'ids');

# METHODS

`filter_fields`

  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`.

`validate`

  This helps in the validation of parameters passed into the WebSerice 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.
