I have the following snippet of code in a Symfony2 form:
$builder->add('AccountID');
$builder->get('AccountID')->addEventListener(
FormEvents::POST_SUBMIT,
function (FormEvent $Event) {
//Do something but only if AccountID passed validation
}
);
Right now POST_SUBMIT gets triggered whether it passes validation or not.
How can I tell if the field was properly validated inside the event listener?
I'd rather not have an if to check for the same validation I specified inside the validation.yml on the field.
Is this possible?
How about using $event->getForm()->isValid()?
This should be reliable if your event listener gets called after the validation step took place.
Note that the validation step is to be found within a form subscriber itself and is listening for POST_SUBMIT - same event you are trying to attach to.
For reference, check Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Validator\EventListener\ValidationListener.
in symfony 4 i do like this for validating form input base on another form element :
->addEventListener(FormEvents::POST_SUBMIT, function (FormEvent $event) {
$cardData=$event->getData();
$form=$event->getForm();
if(Your Valdiation Condition){
}
else{
$form->addError(new FormError("form error message"));
}
});
In my form's model, I have a custom validation function for a field defined in this way
class SignupForm extends Model
{
public function rules()
{
return [
['birth_date', 'checkDateFormat'],
// other rules
];
}
public function checkDateFormat($attribute, $params)
{
// no real check at the moment to be sure that the error is triggered
$this->addError($attribute, Yii::t('user', 'You entered an invalid date format.'));
}
}
The error message doesn't appear under the field in the form view when I push the submit button, while other rules like the required email and password appear.
I'm working on the Signup native form, so to be sure that it is not a filed problem, I've set the rule
['username', 'checkDateFormat']
and removed all the other rules related to the username field, but the message doesn't appear either for it.
I've tried passing nothing as parameters to checkDateFormat, I've tried to explicitly pass the field's name to addError()
$this->addError('username', '....');
but nothing appears.
Which is the correct way to set a custom validation function?
Did you read documentation?
According to the above validation steps, an attribute will be
validated if and only if it is an active attribute declared in
scenarios() and is associated with one or multiple active rules
declared in rules().
So your code should looks like:
class SignupForm extends Model
{
public function rules()
{
return [
['birth_date', 'checkDateFormat'],
// other rules
];
}
public function scenarios()
{
$scenarios = [
'some_scenario' => ['birth_date'],
];
return array_merge(parent::scenarios(), $scenarios);
}
public function checkDateFormat($attribute, $params)
{
// no real check at the moment to be sure that the error is triggered
$this->addError($attribute, Yii::t('user', 'You entered an invalid date format.'));
}
}
And in controller set scenario, example:
$signupForm = new SignupForm(['scenario' => 'some_scenario']);
Try forcing the validation on empty field
['birth_date', 'checkDateFormat', 'skipOnEmpty' => false, 'skipOnError' => false],
Also, make sure you don't assign id to your birth_date field in your view.
If you do have id for your birth_date, you need to specify the selectors
<?= $form->field($model, 'birth_date', ['selectors' => ['input' => '#myBirthDate']])->textInput(['id' => 'myBirthDate']) ?>
To make custom validations in yii 2 , you can write custom function in model and assign that function in rule.
for eg. I have to apply password criteria in password field then I will write like this in model.
public function rules()
{
return [
['new_password','passwordCriteria'],
];
}
public function passwordCriteria()
{
if(!empty($this->new_password)){
if(strlen($this->new_password)<8){
$this->addError('new_password','Password must contains eight letters one digit and one character.');
}
else{
if(!preg_match('/[0-9]/',$this->new_password)){
$this->addError('new_password','Password must contain one digit.');
}
if(!preg_match('/[a-zA-Z]/', $this->new_password)){
$this->addError('new_password','Password must contain one character.');
}
}
}
}
You need to trigger $model->validate() somewhere if you are extending from class Model.
I stumbled on this when using the CRUD generator. The generated actionCreate() function doesn't include a model validation call so custom validators never get called. Also, the _form doesn't include and error summary.
So add the error summary to the _form.
<?= $form->errorSummary($model); ?>
...and add the validation call - $model->validate() - to the controller action
public function actionCreate()
{
$model = new YourModel();
if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->validate()) {...
Although it's an old post i thought I should answer.
You should create a Custom Validator Class and to create a validator that supports client-side validation, you should implement the yii\validators\Validator::clientValidateAttribute() method which returns a piece of JavaScript code that performs the validation on the client-side. Within the JavaScript code.
You may use the following predefined variables:
attribute: the name of 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 which deferred objects can be pushed into
(explained in the next subsection).
SO that means you can use messages array to push your messages to the client end on runtime within the javascript code block in this method.
I will create a class that includes dummy checks that could be replaced the way you want them to. and change the namespace according to your yii2 advanced or basic.
Custom Client-side Validator
namespace common\components;
use yii\validators\Validator;
class DateFormatValidator extends Validator{
public function init() {
parent::init ();
$this->message = 'You entered an invalid date format.';
}
public function validateAttribute( $model , $attribute ) {
if ( /*SOME CONDITION TO CHECK*/) {
$model->addError ( $attribute , $this->message );
}
}
public function clientValidateAttribute( $model , $attribute , $view ) {
$message = json_encode ( $this->message , JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE );
return <<<JS
if ($("#DATE-1").val()=="" || $("#DATE-2").val() =="") {
messages.push($message);
}
JS;
}
}
and then inside your model SigupForm add the rule
['birth_date', 'common\components\DateFormatValidator'],
Deferred Validation
You can even add ajax calls inside the clientValidateAttribute function and on the base of the result of that ajax call you can push message to the client end but you can use the deferred object provided by yii that is an array of Deferred objects and you push your calls inside that array or explicitly create the Deferred Object and call its resolve() method.
Default Yii's deferred Object
public function clientValidateAttribute($model, $attribute, $view)
{
return <<<JS
deferred.push($.get("/check", {value: value}).done(function(data) {
if ('' !== data) {
messages.push(data);
}
}));
JS;
}
More about Deferred Validation
You need to render the model from controller. Without initializing the model in view. And in the controller you need to call the validate function
Are you sure the first parameter of addError shouldn't be like this
$this->addError(**'attribute'**, Yii::t('user', 'You entered an invalid date format.'));
I had common problem.
In your validation function:
public function checkDateFormat($attribute, $params)
{
// no real check at the moment to be sure that the error is triggered
$this->addError($attribute, Yii::t('user', 'You entered an invalid date format.'));
}
$params doesn`t get any value at all. It actually always equals to Null. You have to check for your attribute value in function:
public function checkDateFormat($attribute, $params)
{
if($this->birth_date == False)
{
$this->addError($attribute, Yii::t('user', 'You entered an invalid date format.'));
}
}
that`s how it worked for me.
If you don't use scenarios for your model, you must mark your atribute as 'safe':
['birth_date','safe'],
['birth_date', 'checkDateFormat'],
And, on the other hand, you can use this for date validation:
['birth_date','safe'],
[['birth_date'],'date', 'format'=>'php:Y-m-d'],
You can change format as you want.
**We should set attributes to the function to work with input value **
public function rules()
{
return [
['social_id','passwordCriteria'],
];
}
public function passwordCriteria($attribute, $params)
{
if(!empty($this->$attribute)){
$input_value = $this->$attribute;
//all good
}else{
//Error empty value
$this->addError('social_id','Error - value is empty');
}
}
Are you by any chance using client side validation? If you do then you have to write a javascript function that would validate the input. You can see how they do it here:
http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-input-validation.html#conditional-validation
Another solution would be to disable client validation, use ajax validation, that should bring back the error too.
Also make sure that you have not overwritten the template of the input, meaning make sure you still have the {error} in there if you did overwrite it.
Your syntax on rules should be something like this man,
[['birth_date'], 'checkDateFormat']
not this
['birth_date', 'checkDateFormat']
So in your case, it should look like below
...
class SignupForm extends Model
{
public function rules()
{
// Notice the different with your previous code here
return [
[['birth_date'], 'checkDateFormat'],
// other rules
];
}
public function checkDateFormat($attribute, $params)
{
// no real check at the moment to be sure that the error is triggered
$this->addError($attribute, Yii::t('user', 'You entered an invalid date format.'));
}
}
I am trying parse a HL7 REF I12 message with local customization(NZ).
When I tried using the GenericParser, I keep getting Validation exceptions.
For example for the segment below, I keep get the output
ca.uhn.hl7v2.validation.ValidationException: Validation failed:
Primitive value '(08)569-7555' requires to be empty or a US phone
number
PRD|PP|See T Tan^""^""^^""|""^^^^""^New Zealand||(08)569-7555||14134^NZMC
My question is:
Is there a way to avoid the validation by using the conformance class
generator
Is it possible to create own validation classes using
CustomModelClasses?
In either case, is there any example code for that or tutorial example documentation?
If disabling validation altogether is an option for your application, then you can set the validation context to use NoValidation.
See this thread in the hapi developers mailing list: http://sourceforge.net/p/hl7api/mailman/message/31244500/
Here is an example of how to disable validation:
HapiContext context = new DefaultHapiContext();
context.setValidationContext(new NoValidation());
GenericParser parser = context.getGenericParser();
String message = ...
try {
parser.parse(message);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
If you still require validation, but just want to change the validator for specific rules, then you'll have to create your own implementation of ValidationContext. This would be done by sub classing ca.uhn.hl7v2.validation.builder.support.NoValidationBuilder and overriding the configure method and use this to instantiate an instance of ValidationContextImpl.
For an example of how to implement the configure method in your subclass of NoValidationBuilder, see the source code for ca.uhn.hl7v2.validation.builder.support.DefaultValidationBuilder. This is the default validation context that is generating the error message you're seeing. To make it easier for you, I'm including the class listing here:
public class DefaultValidationBuilder extends DefaultValidationWithoutTNBuilder {
#Override
protected void configure() {
super.configure();
forAllVersions()
.primitive("TN")
.refersToSection("Version 2.4 Section 2.9.45")
.is(emptyOr(usPhoneNumber()));
}
}
Notice this is the implementation of the usPhoneNumber method defined in BuilderSupport:
public Predicate usPhoneNumber() {
return matches("(\\d{1,2} )?(\\(\\d{3}\\))?\\d{3}-\\d{4}(X\\d{1,5})?(B\\d{1,5})?(C.*)?",
"a US phone number");
}
I am building a form in Zend Framework 1.9 using subforms as well as Zend_JQuery being enabled on those forms. The form itself is fine and all the error checking etc is working as normal. But the issue I am having is that when I'm trying to retrieve the values in my controller, I'm receiving just the form entry for the last subform e.g.
My master form class (abbreviated for speed):
Master_Form extends Zend_Form
{
public function init()
{
ZendX_JQuery::enableForm($this);
$this->setAction('actioninhere')
...
->setAttrib('id', 'mainForm')
$sub_one = new Form_One();
$sub_one->setDecorators(... in here I add the jQuery as per the docs);
$this->addSubForm($sub_one, 'form-one');
$sub_two = new Form_Two();
$sub_two->setDecorators(... in here I add the jQuery as per the docs);
$this->addSubForm($sub_two, 'form-two');
}
}
So that all works as it should in the display and when I submit without filling in the required values, the correct errors are returned. However, in my controller I have this:
class My_Controller extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
public function createAction()
{
$request = $this->getRequest();
$form = new Master_Form();
if ($request->isPost()) {
if ($form->isValid($request->getPost()) {
// This is where I am having the problems
print_r($form->getValues());
}
}
}
}
When I submit this and it gets past isValid(), the $form->getValues() is only returning the elements from the second subform, not the entire form.
I recently ran into this problem. It seems to me that getValues is using array_merge, instead of array_merge_recursive, which does render to correct results. I submitted a bug report, but have not gotten any feedback on it yet.
I submitted a bug report (http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-8078). Perhaps you want to vote on it?
I think that perhaps I must have been misunderstanding the way that the subforms work in Zend, and the code below helps me achieve what I wanted. None of my elements share names across subforms, but I guess this is why Zend_Form works this way.
In my controller I now have:
if($request->isPost()) {
if ($form->isValid($request->getPost()) {
$all_form_details = array();
foreach ($form->getSubForms() as $subform) {
$all_form_details = array_merge($all_form_details, $subform->getValues());
}
// Now I have one nice and tidy array to pass to my model. I know this
// could also be seen as model logic for a skinnier controller, but
// this is just to demonstrate it working.
print_r($all_form_details);
}
}
I have a same problem to get value from subforms I solve it with this but not my desire one
code:
in controller i get value with this code that 'rolesSubform' is my subform name
$this->_request->getParam ( 'rolesSubform' );
Encountered the same problem. Used post instead of getValues.
$post = $this->getRequest()->getPost();
There are times when getValues does not return the same values returned by $post.
Must be a getValues() bug.
