Property Details

$allowName public property

Whether to allow name in the email address (e.g. "John Smith john.smith@example.com"). Defaults to false.

See also $fullPattern.

public boolean $allowName = false
$checkDNS public property

Whether to check whether the email's domain exists and has either an A or MX record. Be aware that this check can fail due to temporary DNS problems even if the email address is valid and an email would be deliverable. Defaults to false.

public boolean $checkDNS = false
$enableIDN public property

Whether validation process should take into account IDN (internationalized domain names). Defaults to false meaning that validation of emails containing IDN will always fail. Note that in order to use IDN validation you have to install and enable intl PHP extension, otherwise an exception would be thrown.

public boolean $enableIDN = false
$fullPattern public property

The regular expression used to validate email addresses with the name part. This property is used only when $allowName is true.

See also $allowName.

public string $fullPattern = '/^[^@]*<[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&\'*+\\/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&\'*+\\/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])?\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])?>$/'
$pattern public property

The regular expression used to validate the attribute value.

See also http://www.regular-expressions.info/email.html.

public string $pattern = '/^[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&\'*+\\/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&\'*+\\/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])?\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])?$/'

Method Details

clientValidateAttribute() public method

Returns the JavaScript needed for performing client-side validation.

Calls getClientOptions() to generate options array for client-side validation.

You may override this method to return the JavaScript validation code if the validator can support client-side validation.

The following JavaScript variables are predefined and can be used in the validation code:

  • attribute: an object describing the the attribute being validated.
  • value: the value being validated.
  • messages: an array used to hold the validation error messages for the attribute.
  • deferred: an array used to hold deferred objects for asynchronous validation
  • $form: a jQuery object containing the form element

The attribute object contains the following properties:

  • id: a unique ID identifying the attribute (e.g. "loginform-username") in the form
  • name: attribute name or expression (e.g. "[0]content" for tabular input)
  • container: the jQuery selector of the container of the input field
  • input: the jQuery selector of the input field under the context of the form
  • error: the jQuery selector of the error tag under the context of the container
  • status: status of the input field, 0: empty, not entered before, 1: validated, 2: pending validation, 3: validating
public string|null clientValidateAttribute ( $model, $attribute, $view )
$model yii\base\Model

The data model being validated
$attribute string

The name of the attribute to be validated.
$view yii\web\View

The view object that is going to be used to render views or view files containing a model form with this validator applied.
return string|null

The client-side validation script. Null if the validator does not support client-side validation.
getClientOptions() public method

Returns the client-side validation options.

This method is usually called from clientValidateAttribute(). You may override this method to modify options that will be passed to the client-side validation.

public array getClientOptions ( $model, $attribute )
$model yii\base\Model

The model being validated
$attribute string

The attribute name being validated
return array

The client-side validation options
init() public method

Initializes the object.

This method is invoked at the end of the constructor after the object is initialized with the given configuration.

public void init ( )
validateValue() protected method

Validates a value.

A validator class can implement this method to support data validation out of the context of a data model.

protected array|null validateValue ( $value )
$value mixed

The data value to be validated.
return array|null

The error message and the parameters to be inserted into the error message. Null should be returned if the data is valid.
throws yii\base\NotSupportedException

if the validator does not supporting data validation without a model
