View source

validateAttribute()

Validates a single attribute.

Child classes must implement this method to provide the actual validation logic.

View source

Arguments

• $model (yii\base\Model) – The data model to be validated
• $attribute (string) – The name of the attribute to be validated.

Protected Methods

Method	Description
compareValues()	Compares two values with the specified operator.
formatMessage()	Formats a mesage using the I18N, or simple strtr if \Yii::$app is not available.
validateValue()	Validates a value.

compareValues()

Compares two values with the specified operator.

View source

Arguments

• $operator (string) – The comparison operator
• $value (DateTime) – The value being compared
• $compareValue (DateTime) – Another value being compared

Returns

boolean – Whether the comparison using the specified operator is true.

validateValue()

Validates a value.

A validator class can implement this method to support data validation out of the context of a data model.

View source

Arguments

• $value (mixed) – The data value to be validated.

Returns

array, null – The error message and the array of parameters to be inserted into the error message.

if (!$valid) {
    return [$this->message, [
        'param1' => $this->param1,
        'formattedLimit' => Yii::$app->formatter->asShortSize($this->getSizeLimit()),
        'mimeTypes' => implode(', ', $this->mimeTypes),
        'param4' => 'etc...',
    ]];
}

return null;

for this example message template can contain {param1}, {formattedLimit}, {mimeTypes}, {param4}

Null should be returned if the data is valid.

Throws

• yii\base\NotSupportedException
  if the validator does not supporting data validation without a model
