/**
 * Verify data with rules.
 *
 * @param {Object} data input data parameters
 * @param {Object} rules verify rules
 *   {
 *     key1: parameter.Id, // must be string and number value, e.g.: '123', '043624'
 *     // key1: { isId: true },
 *     key2: parameter.Date, // must match 'YYYY-MM-DD' format date string, e.g.: '2013-06-25'
 *     // key2: { isDate: true },
 *     key3: parameter.DateTime, // must match 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss' format date string, e.g.: '2013-06-25 12:20:50'
 *     // key3: { isDateTime: true },
 *     key4: 'number', // must match `typeof` result, could be 'number', 'string', 'function' or 'object' 
 *     // key4: { type: 'number' },
 *     key5: { required: false, type: 'number' }, // optional value, if set, must be a number
 *     key6: { required: false, type: parameter.Date }, // optional value, if set, must be a date string
 *   }
 *   rules's keys must exists on `data`. If `data.key1` not exists, will got `missing_field` error.
 * @param {String} [resourceName] error resource name, default is 'Param'
 * 
 * @return {null|Array} errors, return null meaning no errors.
 *   e.g.: [{
 *     resource: 'Param',
 *     field: 'id',
 *     message: 'id required',
 *     code: 'missing_field'
 *   }, ... ]

Usage

var p = require('parameter');

var data = {
  id: '043624',
  nick: '苏千',
  date: '2013-06-25',
  age: 29
};

var wrongData = {
  nick: 123,
  date: '2013-06-1',
  age: '29',
  sex: 0
};

var rules = {
  id: p.Id,
  nick: 'string',
  date: p.Date,
  age: 'number',
  sex: { required: false, type: 'string' }
};
var errors = p.verify(data, rules);
// errors => null

var errors = p.verify(wrongData, rules);
// errors =>
// [ { resource: 'Param',
//     field: 'id',
//     message: 'id required',
//     code: 'missing_field' },
//   { resource: 'Param',
//     field: 'nick',
//     message: 'expect string, but got number',
//     code: 'invalid' },
//   { resource: 'Param',
//     field: 'date',
//     message: 'should be "YYYY-MM-DD" date format string',
//     code: 'invalid' },
//   { resource: 'Param',
//     field: 'age',
//     message: 'expect number, but got string',
//     code: 'invalid' },
//   { resource: 'Param',
//     field: 'sex',
//     message: 'expect string, but got number',
//     code: 'invalid' } ]
