Yii2: ActiveForm field numeric, length => 8
Solution 1
Read more about the validations here: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-tutorial-core-validators.html#number
This works fine for me using the contact form from yii2-basic
/**
* @return array the validation rules.
*/
public function rules()
{
return [
// name, email, subject and body are required
[['name', 'email', 'subject', 'body'], 'required'],
// email has to be a valid email address
['email', 'email'],
['subject', 'is8NumbersOnly'],
// verifyCode needs to be entered correctly
['verifyCode', 'captcha'],
];
}
public function is8NumbersOnly($attribute)
{
if (!preg_match('/^[0-9]{8}$/', $this->$attribute)) {
$this->addError($attribute, 'must contain exactly 8 digits.');
}
}
Solution 2
Try with integer
data type:
[['username'], 'integer'],
[['username'], 'string', 'min' => 8],
It will validate both numeric
and length
. This will do the trick.
Solution 3
public function rules()
{
return [
// username should be numeric
['username', 'match', 'pattern' => '/^\d{8}$/', 'message' => 'Field must contain exactly 8 digits.],
// ...
];
}

I'm trying to make yii2 to validate my
ActiveForm
field that should be numeric and of 8 characters long.Following is what I tried in the default
LoginForm
model ofyii2/advanced/backend
, but unfortunately theisNumeric
validator simply doesn't kick in:public function rules() { return [ // username and password are both required [['username', 'password'], 'required'], // username should be numeric ['username', 'isNumeric'], // username should be numeric ['username', 'string', 'length'=>8], // password is validated by validatePassword() ['password', 'validatePassword'], ]; } /** * Validates if the username is numeric. * This method serves as the inline validation for username. * * @param string $attribute the attribute currently being validated * @param array $params the additional name-value pairs given in the rule */ public function isNumeric($attribute, $params) { if (!is_numeric($this->username)) $this->addError($attribute, Yii::t('app', '{attribute} must be numeric', ['{attribute}'=>$attribute])); } /** * Validates the password. * This method serves as the inline validation for password. * * @param string $attribute the attribute currently being validated * @param array $params the additional name-value pairs given in the rule */ public function validatePassword($attribute, $params) { if (!$this->hasErrors()) { $user = $this->getUser(); if (!$user || !$user->validatePassword($this->password)) { $this->addError($attribute, 'Incorrect username or password.'); } } }
I also tried adding a scenario as suggested in a related post (https://stackoverflow.com/a/27817221/2037924) but that only worked (as in displayed the error) if I did not include the
password
field in the scenario.Is this a good way to achieve this at all, or can you think of a better way of doing it?
Note: the reason I define
username
asstring
is because the numbers may contain leading 0's.
