Class yii\validators\FilterValidator
| Inheritance | yii\validators\FilterValidator » yii\validators\Validator » yii\base\Component » yii\base\BaseObject |
|---|---|
| Implements | yii\base\Configurable |
| Available since version | 2.0 |
| Source Code | https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/validators/FilterValidator.php |
FilterValidator converts the attribute value according to a filter.
FilterValidator is actually not a validator but a data processor. It invokes the specified filter callback to process the attribute value and save the processed value back to the attribute. The filter must be a valid PHP callback with the following signature:
function foo($value) {
// compute $newValue here
return $newValue;
}
Many PHP functions qualify this signature (e.g. trim()).
If the callback function requires non-null argument (important since PHP 8.1)
remember to set $skipOnEmpty to true otherwise you may trigger an error.
To specify the filter, set $filter property to be the callback.

Property Details
The filter. This can be a global function name, anonymous function, etc. The function signature must be as follows,
function foo($value) {
// compute $newValue here
return $newValue;
}
Whether the filter should be skipped if an array input is given. If true and an array input is given, the filter will not be applied.
This property is overwritten to be false so that this validator will be applied when the value being validated is empty.
Method Details
Returns the JavaScript needed for performing client-side validation.
Calls getClientOptions() to generate options array for client-side validation.
You may override this method to return the JavaScript validation code if the validator can support client-side validation.
The following JavaScript variables are predefined and can be used in the validation code:
attribute: an object describing the the attribute being validated.value: the value being validated.messages: an array used to hold the validation error messages for the attribute.deferred: an array used to hold deferred objects for asynchronous validation$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. |
