Method Detail
__construct() public ¶
__construct( string $fieldName , array $ruleSet )
Constructor
Parameters
- string $fieldName
- The fieldname.
- array $ruleSet
- Rules set.
_processValidationResponse() protected ¶
_processValidationResponse( string $name , CakeValidationRule $rule )
Fetches the correct error message for a failed validation
Parameters
- string $name
- the name of the rule as it was configured
-
CakeValidationRule$rule - the object containing validation information
Returns
_translateArgs() protected ¶
_translateArgs( array $args )
Applies translations to validator arguments.
Parameters
- array $args
- The args to translate
Returns
Translated args.
count() public ¶
count( )
Returns the number of rules in this set
Returns
Implementation of
Countable::count()getIterator() public ¶
getIterator( )
Returns an iterator for each of the rules to be applied
Returns
Implementation of
IteratorAggregate::getIterator()getRule() public ¶
getRule( string $name )
Gets a rule for a given name if exists
Parameters
- string $name
- Field name.
Returns
offsetExists() public ¶
offsetExists( string $index )
Returns whether an index exists in the rule set
Parameters
- string $index
- name of the rule
Returns
Implementation of
ArrayAccess::offsetExists()offsetGet() public ¶
offsetGet( string $index )
Returns a rule object by its index
Parameters
- string $index
- name of the rule
Returns
Implementation of
ArrayAccess::offsetGet()offsetSet() public ¶
offsetSet( string $index , CakeValidationRule|array $rule )
Sets or replace a validation rule.
This is a wrapper for ArrayAccess. Use setRule() directly for chainable access.
Parameters
- string $index
- Name of the rule.
-
CakeValidationRule|array $rule - Rule to add to $index.
See
Implementation of
ArrayAccess::offsetSet()offsetUnset() public ¶
offsetUnset( string $index )
Unsets a validation rule
Parameters
- string $index
- name of the rule
Implementation of
ArrayAccess::offsetUnset()removeRule() public ¶
removeRule( string $name )
Removes a validation rule from the set
Example:
$set ->removeRule('required') ->removeRule('inRange')
Parameters
- string $name
- The name under which the rule should be unset
Returns
$this
setMethods() public ¶
setMethods( array $methods )
Sets the list of methods to use for validation
Parameters
- array $methods
- $methods Methods list
setRule() public ¶
setRule( string $name , CakeValidationRule|array $rule )
Sets a CakeValidationRule $rule with a $name
Example:
$set ->setRule('required', array('rule' => 'notEmpty', 'required' => true)) ->setRule('between', array('rule' => array('lengthBetween', 4, 10))
Parameters
- string $name
- The name under which the rule should be set
-
CakeValidationRule|array $rule - The validation rule to be set

$this
setRules() public ¶
setRules( array $rules = array() , boolean $mergeVars = true )
Sets the rules for a given field
Example:
$set->setRules(array( 'required' => array('rule' => 'notEmpty', 'required' => true), 'inRange' => array('rule' => array('between', 4, 10) ));
Parameters
- array $rules optional array()
- The rules to be set
- boolean $mergeVars optional true
- [optional] If true, merges vars instead of replace. Defaults to true.
Returns
$this
