Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi Guys,

Yesterday I made this SwitchCompareValidator to used it for conditional rule in model.

SwitchCompareValidator is based on YiiConditionalValidator with several changes including cactiveform clientValidation support.

Yes, It support cactiveform clientValidation.

Here is example of usage :




array('periode,title','ext.MyValidators.SwitchCompareValidator',

'switch'=>'type', //switch(type)

'cases'=>array(

    array( //case 'NEW'

	'compare'=>array(

		'compareValue'=>'NEW'

	),

	'then'=>array(

		array('periode','default',value=>date('Y-m-d',now()),setOnEmpty=>false)

	)

    ),

    array( // case type in array('OLD','EXPIRED')

	'compare'=>array(

		'operator'=>'in',

		'compareValue'=>array('OLD','EXPIRED')

	),

	'then'=>array(

		array('periode','required'),

	)

    ),

    array(   // default

	'then'=>array(

		array('periode','in','range'=>array('DAILY','MONTHLY','WEEKLY','ALWAYS'),'allowEmpty'=>false),

		array('title','required')

	)

    )

)),

[*] cases, array of array of case. each case contain ‘compare’ and ‘then’. at least there are one case with ‘compare’. only last case could omit ‘compare’ (serve as default).

[/list]

case[‘then’], array of validation to be test if case[‘compare’] is true. (or inside default). each validation format:

[list=1]

[*] array(attribute,validator,param). (you may used dot.notation in your rules to achieve data in related models. attribute must be one of the attribute in SwitchCompareValidator rule) or
