I have a User form class which has elements and I am trying to add Regex validator.
Here is what I have tried
$inputFilter->add([
"name" => "password",
"required" => true,
"filters" => [
],
"validators" => [
[
"name" => new Regex(["pattern" => "/^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$/"]),
],
[
"name" => "NotEmpty",
],
[
"name" => "StringLength",
"options" => [
"min" => 6,
"max" => 64
],
],
],
]);
But it throws
Object of class Zend\Validator\Regex could not be converted to string
Can anyone help me out?
You can add input filter specifications for the validator, the following should work
$inputFilter->add([
"name" => "password",
"required" => true,
"filters" => [
],
"validators" => [
// add validator(s) using input filter specs
[
"name" => "Regex",
"options" => [
"pattern" => "/^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$/"
],
],
[
"name" => "NotEmpty",
],
[
"name" => "StringLength",
"options" => [
"min" => 6,
"max" => 64
],
],
],
]);
If you really want to instantiate the object (using the new Regex(...)
as in your original code), you can do that this way instead
$inputFilter->add([
"name" => "password",
"required" => true,
"filters" => [
],
"validators" => [
// add a regex validator instance
new Regex(["pattern" => "/^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$/"]),
// add using input filter specs ...
[
"name" => "NotEmpty",
],
[
"name" => "StringLength",
"options" => [
"min" => 6,
"max" => 64
],
],
],
]);
