i am trying to validate a user registration form in Zend Framework 2.
More specifically how to validate the email, ZF1 i could do:
$email->setValidators( array(new Zend_Validate_EmailAddress()) );
I'm wondering if i can just call something similar like this.
Also I'm wondering how to validate two fields that need to be the same like the password field and the password verification.
I guess that when i say if($form->isValid()).. this will check the getInputFilter() method for all validation.
I've been taking a look at ZfcUser module but, right now, i can't understand much since i don't have a full grasp on how ZF2 works
Any ideas, maybe a simple example?
thanks
Have you read the official tutorial to see how the new ZF2 Form component works?
At a very high level, you need a Form object and a Filter object working together. The Filter object is where you place your filters and validators. However, if you use a form element of type EmailAddress in your Form, then it will automatically add the correct validator. There is more information in the manual.
I recently did a webinar on forms for Zend which you should be able to find on this page.
i've figure it out.
the validators are multidimensional arrays and each array has a name and some options. It might be a bit wired in the beginning to notice it, but much configuration in zf2 is in this way
see an example for the password:
$inputFilter->add($factory->createInput([
'name' => 'password',
'required' => true,
'filters' => [ ['name' => 'StringTrim'], ],
'validators' => [
[
'name' => 'StringLength',
'options' => [
'encoding' => 'UTF-8',
'min' => 6,
'max' => 128,
],
],
],
]));
$inputFilter->add($factory->createInput([
'name' => 'password_verify',
'required' => true,
'filters' => [ ['name' => 'StringTrim'], ],
'validators' => [
array(
'name' => 'StringLength',
'options' => array( 'min' => 6 ),
),
array(
'name' => 'identical',
'options' => array('token' => 'password' )
),
],
]));
note, in php 5.3 > an array could be written like array() or [], in the above example i mix them up for no particular reason.

I'm new at yii and trying to find my way around. I have done a tutorial or two. I then decided to start editing/changing the example to allow me to learn more. I created a page that does a simple PING. That gets validated. On success, it loads a static page. This all works.
What I wanted to do next is to see how I can utilize a grid to populate that with some data. My real life example is the same. I will get a array of data coming in.
It seems that CArrayDataProvider is what I need. So, I am trying to get a very simple example to work. If I get this to work, I can move on.
I have tried a whole bunch of examples. The error is the same every time. It seems that I do not have CArrayDataProvider installed? If that is even possible.
I did a standard basic install:
composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic
I have the following at the beginning of my controllers file:
use yii2\data\ArrayDataProvider;
I get no error here.
I searched for the file itself on the file system, could not find it. I did find ArrayDataProvider, so I tried that, same result:
use vendor\yiisoft\yii2\data\ArrayDataProvider;
The error is:
PHP Fatal Error – yii\base\ErrorException
Class 'CArrayDataProvider' not found
This is on line 24:
"dataProvider = new CArrayDataProvider($fruits);"
Here is my example code. Not that I think the issue is in here, but to show what I am trying to do:
$fruits = array(
array('id' => 1, 'name'=>'apple', 'color' => 'green'),
array('id' => 2, 'name'=>'orange', 'color' => 'orange'),
array('id' => 3, 'name'=>'banana', 'color' => 'yellow'),
array('id' => 4, 'name'=>'pineapple', 'color' => 'brown')
);
$dataProvider = new CArrayDataProvider($fruits);
$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
'id' => 'fruits-grid',
'dataProvider' => $dataProvider ,
'columns' => array(
array(
'name' => 'ID',
'value' => '$data["id"]',
),
array(
'name' => 'Name',
'value' => '$data["name"]'
),
array(
'name' => 'Color',
'value' => '$data["color"]'
),
)
));
On the file-system (linux) itself I did a update:
composer update
I have been Googling for the last 2 days and I am finding nothing.
I tried adding a date picket. That worked. I used:
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/yii/yii_extensions.htm
So in short, the static page that I call, now displays a DateTimePicker.
At the start of the file I added:
use kartik\datetime\DateTimePicker;
And in the body:
<?php
echo DateTimePicker::widget([
'name' => 'dp_1',
'type' => DateTimePicker::TYPE_INPUT,
'value' => '23-Feb-1982 10:10',
'pluginOptions' => [
'autoclose'=>true,
'format' => 'dd-M-yyyy hh:ii'
]
]);
?>
How do I get yii2 to allow me to use ArrayDataProvider. Or how do I install the extension? Or who do I reference it?
In Yii2 there's not a CArrayDataProvider. Use ArrayDataProvider, like described in docs:
$provider = new yii\data\ArrayDataProvider([
'allModels' => $query->from('post')->all(),
'sort' => [
'attributes' => ['id', 'username', 'email'],
],
'pagination' => [
'pageSize' => 10,
],
]);
Pretty well documented here.
Yii2 supports ArrayDataProvider and yii 1.* supports CArrayDataProvider, so as per your code you are using Yii2, so just replace the below line with
$dataProvider = new CArrayDataProvider($fruits);
With this:
$dataProvider = new ArrayDataProvider($fruits);
Thx to everyone's help! I now have a working example.
In case anyone else has the same issues, I will post my working code here:
use kartik\grid\GridView;
$resultData = [
array("id"=>1,"name"=>"Cyrus","email"=>"risus#consequatdolorvitae.org"),
array("id"=>2,"name"=>"Justin","email"=>"ac.facilisis.facilisis#at.ca"),
array("id"=>3,"name"=>"Mason","email"=>"in.cursus.et#arcuacorci.ca"),
array("id"=>4,"name"=>"Fulton","email"=>"a#faucibusorciluctus.edu"),
array("id"=>5,"name"=>"Neville","email"=>"eleifend#consequatlectus.com"),
array("id"=>6,"name"=>"Jasper","email"=>"lectus.justo#miAliquam.com"),
array("id"=>7,"name"=>"Neville","email"=>"Morbi.non.sapien#dapibusquam.org"),
array("id"=>8,"name"=>"Neville","email"=>"condimentum.eget#egestas.edu"),
array("id"=>9,"name"=>"Ronan","email"=>"orci.adipiscing#interdumligulaeu.com"),
array("id"=>10,"name"=>"Raphael","email"=>"nec.tempus#commodohendrerit.co.uk"),
];
$dataProvider = new \yii\data\ArrayDataProvider([
'key'=>'id',
'allModels' => $resultData,
'sort' => [
'attributes' => ['id', 'name', 'email'],
],
]);
echo GridView::widget([
'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
'columns' => [
['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],
'id',
[
'attribute' => 'name',
'value' => 'name',
],
[
"attribute" => "email",
'value' => 'email',
]
]
]);
I know it is somewhere in the documentation, but I can't find it. How can I output one validation error at a time instead of aggregating over every possible validation and output everything in $entity->errors()? In addition to that, is there a simple way to give this setting to every validation in every table?
Edit
I already found the answer to the first question which is the following:
$validator
->add('body', [
'minLength' => [
'rule' => ['minLength', 10],
'last' => true, // this particular line
'message' => 'Comments must have a substantial body.'
],
'maxLength' => [
'rule' => ['maxLength', 250],
'message' => 'Comments cannot be too long.'
]
]);
Again, is there any way to apply this to all validation methods, everywhere?
How can I get validated json value using Apigility. For example, I need to get validated user_id under users collection in the following json data.
{
"log_type": "split food",
"meal_type": "Break Fast",
"meal_date": "12-2-2015",
"users": [
{
"user_id": 1,
"food_details": [
{
"food_id":101
}
]
}
]
}
I know fields can be validated through apigility but here is from json.
Thank you
You should look into the documentation of ZF2 validation for validating (form) collections. Some documentation on this can be found here.
You should set the type field like this:
'type' => 'Zend\InputFilter\CollectionInputFilter',
for validation of nested objects (or form field sets) you need to set the type field as follows:
'type' => 'Zend\InputFilter\InputFilter'
You use it like this:
'input_filter' => array(
'log_type' => array(
'validators' => array(
// ... validators ...
),
'filters' => array(
// ... filters ...
),
),
'meal_type' => array(
'validators' => array(
// ... validators ...
),
'filters' => array(
// ... filters ...
),
),
'meal_date' => array(
'validators' => array(
// ... validators ...
),
'filters' => array(
// ... filters ...
),
),
'users' => array(
'required' => true,
'count' => ... optional count ...
'input_filter' => ... input filter or input filter config to use for each element ...
'type' => 'Zend\InputFilter\CollectionInputFilter',
),
'some_complex_element' => array(
'property_of_complex_element' => array(
'name' => 'property_of_complex_element',
'required' => false,
'validators' => array(
// ... validators ...
),
'filters' => array(
// ... filters ...
),
),
'type' => 'Zend\InputFilter\InputFilter',
)
),
An example on how to use this can be found here on stackoverflow
To achieve what you want you most likely have to combine those two solutions. Not sure if it is the easiest way to do it, but it is definitely possible!
EDIT
For people who haven't setup validation at all yet:
For content validation in Apigility You have to use the zfcampus/zf-content-validation module and follow the documentation for configuration. This module allows you to configure your input-filters and validators in a input_filter_spec like you would normally do for form validation in ZF2. Here inside these input-filter config arrays you can use the configs that I referenced above.
So first properly install that module and once set-up you will be able to use these validation types in Apigility.
I'm pretty new with Yii2 and have the next unpleasant issue.
I created two forms at same page like
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([
// make sure you set the id of the form
'id' => 'create',
'action' => $action,
'options' => ['enctype' => 'multipart/form-data']
]); ?>
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([
// make sure you set the id of the form
'id' => 'update',
'action' => $action,
'options' => ['enctype' => 'multipart/form-data']
]); ?>
I use the same model for both form fields like
<?= $form->field($action_model, 'action_name',[
'addon' => ['prepend' => ['content'=>$action_model->getAttributeLabel('action_mobile')]]
])->widget(Typeahead::classname(), [
'options' => ['placeholder' => $action_model->getAttributeLabel('action_placeholder')],
'pluginOptions' => ['highlight'=>true],
'dataset' => [
[
'local' => Json::encode( $totalLookUp['action_lookUp'] ),
'limit' => 10
]
]
])->label(false);
?>
And here is the issue. In that case I have two forms with same scope of fields, with same names and same id. What for sure will be not valid for W3C. The another one issue that inspite of that fact that client side presubmit javascript validation for both forms work perfect. The typeahed widget works only for first set of fields since it bindid by id.
If i try to override elements id by specify it by widgets options like
<?= $form->field($action_model, 'action_name',[
'addon' => ['prepend' => ['content'=>$action_model->getAttributeLabel('action_mobile')]]
])->widget(Typeahead::classname(), [
'options' => ['id'=> $form_id.'_action_name',
'placeholder' => $action_model->getAttributeLabel('action_placeholder')],
'pluginOptions' => ['highlight'=>true],
'dataset' => [
[
'local' => Json::encode( $totalLookUp['action_lookUp'] ),
'limit' => 10
]
]
])->label(false);
?>
The typeahead works perfect, but in that case validation fails, I mean it just stop working.
So the questuion is, how to make possible adjust validation script and use unique form id's.
From the docs:
If you set a custom id for the input element, you may need to adjust the $selectors accordingly.
For your case:
$form->field($action_model, 'action_name', [
'selectors' => ['input' => '#'.$form_id.'_action_name'],
'addon' => ...
I have a rest api that has many parameters via the query string. I am wondering if someone knows of a design pattern or has a nice way of organizing all the parameters (Objects, functions, array, json). Right now I am parsing and validating all my parameters in the same function, very ugly code.
Ideally I would like some way to handle the parameters similar to a database ORM or even a config file/array/json. However, I have tried to come up with a solution to this without any luck.
Any insight would be appreciated!
Example of my thoughts:
<?php
...
$parameters = [
// ?fields=id,name
'fields' => [
'default' => ['id', 'name'],
'valid' => ['id', 'name', 'date],
'type' => 'csv', // list of values (id & name)
'required' => ['id'],
'replace' => ['title' => 'name'], // if the database & api names don't match
'relation' => null, // related database table
],
// ?list=true
'list' => [
'default' => ['false'],
'valid' => ['true', 'false'],
'type' => 'boolean' // single value (true or false)
'required' => [],
'replace' => [], // if the database & api names don't match
'relation' => 'category', // related database table
],
....
];
Seems to me like you are looking for a validation library. My favorite is Symfony's: https://github.com/symfony/validator. I know Zend Framework 2 also has a validation component. I haven't used it personally, but I expect that to be very good too.
Example from the symfony/validator readme:
<?php
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Validation;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
$validator = Validation::createValidator();
$constraint = new Assert\Collection(array(
'name' => new Assert\Collection(array(
'first_name' => new Assert\Length(array('min' => 101)),
'last_name' => new Assert\Length(array('min' => 1)),
)),
'email' => new Assert\Email(),
'simple' => new Assert\Length(array('min' => 102)),
'gender' => new Assert\Choice(array(3, 4)),
'file' => new Assert\File(),
'password' => new Assert\Length(array('min' => 60)),
));
$input would be $_GET or something obtained with parse_str etc. It is also possible to define the validation rules in some other format, such as YAML.
