Property Details
The encoding of the string value to be validated (e.g. 'UTF-8'). If this property is not set, yii\base\Application::$charset will be used.
Specifies the length limit of the value to be validated. This can be specified in one of the following forms:
- an integer: the exact length that the value should be of;
- an array of one element: the minimum length that the value should be of. For example,
[8]. This will overwrite $min. - an array of two elements: the minimum and maximum lengths that the value should be of.
For example,
[8, 128]. This will overwrite both $min and $max.
See also:
Maximum length. If not set, it means no maximum length limit.
See also $tooLong for the customized message for a too long string.
User-defined error message used when the value is not a string.
Minimum length. If not set, it means no minimum length limit.
See also $tooShort for the customized message for a too short string.
User-defined error message used when the length of the value is not equal to $length.
User-defined error message used when the length of the value is greater than $max.
User-defined error message used when the length of the value is smaller than $min.
Method Details
Returns the JavaScript needed for performing client-side validation.
Calls getClientOptions() to generate options array for client-side validation.
You may override this method to return the JavaScript validation code if the validator can support client-side validation.
The following JavaScript variables are predefined and can be used in the validation code:
attribute: an object describing the the attribute being validated.value: the value being validated.messages: an array used to hold the validation error messages for the attribute.deferred: an array used to hold deferred objects for asynchronous validation$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 formname: attribute name or expression (e.g. "[0]content" for tabular input)container: the jQuery selector of the container of the input fieldinput: the jQuery selector of the input field under the context of the formerror: the jQuery selector of the error tag under the context of the containerstatus: 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. |
|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|
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 ( ) |
Validates a single attribute.
Child classes must implement this method to provide the actual validation logic.
| public void validateAttribute ( $model, $attribute ) | ||
| $model | yii\base\Model | The data model to be validated |
| $attribute | string | The name of the attribute to be validated. |
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 |
