Zend3 InputFilter not validating Form


I've found another post (ZF2 InputFilter not validating fieldset) for my issue, but it doesn't helped.

I have a Category Entity and i want to validate the length of the title. So my Model (without the existing getter and setter)

class Category
{
    /**
     * @var int
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @var string
     */
    private $name;
}

My Form for the Category:

class CategoryForm extends Form
{

    public function init()
    {

        $this->setHydrator(new ClassMethods(false));
        $this->setObject(new Category());
        $this->setInputFilter(new CategoryFilter());

        $this->add([
            'name' => 'id',
            'type' => 'hidden'
        ]);

        $this->add([
            'name' => 'name',
            'type' => 'text'
        ]);

        $this->add([
            'name' => 'submit',
            'type' => 'submit'
        ]);
    }

}

And the Filter which currently not working.

class CategoryFilter extends InputFilter
{
    public function init()
    {
        $this->add([
            'name' => 'name',
            'required' => true,
            'filters' => [
                ['name' => StringTrim::class]
            ],
            'validators' => [
                [
                    'name' => StringLength::class,
                    'options' => [
                        'min' => 5
                    ]
                ]
            ]
        ]);
    }
}

And if someone needed my addAction in the Controller:

public function addAction()
{
    $request = $this->getRequest();

    if ($request->isPost()) {
        $this->form->setData($request->getPost());

        if ($this->form->isValid()) {
            $this->mapper->save($this->form->getData());

            $this->redirect()->toRoute('categories');
        }
    }

    return [
        'form' => $this->form
    ];
}

In every example which i found, it should be working. But my form is never validated nor filtered (with the trim).

Did i forget something? Why it doesn't work?


Solution

  • So i've changed a little bit.

    The Category Form goes to:

    class CategoryForm extends Form
    {
    
        public function init()
        {
            $this->add(array(
                'type' => CategoryFieldSet::class,
                'options' => array(
                    'use_as_base_fieldset' => true,
                ),
            ));
    
            $this->add([
                'name' => 'submit',
                'type' => 'submit'
            ]);
        }
    }
    

    I changed also the Filter

    class CategoryFilter extends InputFilter
    {
        public function __construct()
        {
            $this->add([
                'name' => 'name',
                'required' => true,
                'filters' => [
                    ['name' => StringTrim::class]
                ],
                'validators' => [
                    [
                        'name' => StringLength::class,
                        'options' => [
                            'min' => 5
                        ]
                    ]
                ]
            ]);
        }
    }
    

    And after this i defined the FieldSet with the validators:

    class CategoryFieldSet extends Fieldset implements InputFilterProviderInterface
    {
        /**
         *
         */
        public function init()
        {
            $this->setHydrator(new ClassMethods(false));
            $this->setObject(new Category());
    
            $this->add([
                'name' => 'id',
                'type' => 'hidden'
            ]);
    
            $this->add([
                'name' => 'name',
                'type' => 'text',
            ]);
        }
    
        /**
         * Should return an array specification compatible with
         * {@link Zend\InputFilter\Factory::createInputFilter()}.
         *
         * @return array
         */
        public function getInputFilterSpecification()
        {
            $filter = new CategoryFilter();
    
            return $filter->getInputs();
        }
    }
    

    After changing this i get the expected error message like:

    The input is less than 5 characters long
