Validation

Our active entity object will also give you access to our validation engine by giving your ORM entities the following functions:
/**
* Validate the ActiveEntity with the coded constraints -> this.constraints, or passed in shared or implicit constraints
* The entity must have been populated with data before the validation
* @fields.hint One or more fields to validate on, by default it validates all fields in the constraints. This can be a simple list or an array.
* @constraints.hint An optional shared constraints name or an actual structure of constraints to validate on.
* @locale.hint An optional locale to use for i18n messages
* @excludeFields.hint An optional list of fields to exclude from the validation.
*/
boolean function isValid(string fields="*", any constraints="", string locale="", string excludeFields="");
/**
* Get the validation results object. This will be an empty validation object if isValid() has not being called yet.
*/
coldbox.system.validation.result.IValidationResult function getValidationResults();
Important In order for validation to work, WireBox ORM entity injection must be enabled first!
- ColdBox ORM Entity Injection
- WireBox Standalone ORM Entity Injection
This makes it really easy for you to validate your ORM entities.
Sample:
import coldbox.system.orm.hibernate.*;
component persistent="true" extends="ActiveEntity"{
// Properties
property name="firstName";
property name="lastName";
property name="email";
property name="username";
property name="password";
// Validation Constraints
this.constraints = {
"firstName" = {required=true},
"lastName" = {required=true},
"email" = {required=true,type="email"},
"username" = {required=true, size="5..10"},
"password" = {required=true, size="5..10"}
};
}
Handlers Sample:
component{
property name="Messagebox" inject="id:messagebox@cbmessagebox";
function index(event,rc,prc){
prc.users = entityNew("User").list(sortOrder="lastName asc");
event.setView("users/list");
}
function save(event,rc,prc){
event.paramValue("id","");
var user = populateModel( entityNew("User").get( rc.id ) );
if( user.isValid() {
user.save();
flash.put("notice","User Saved!");
setNextEvent("users.index");
}
else{
Messagebox.error(messageArray=user.getValidationResults().getAllErrors());
editor(event,rc,prc);
}
}
function editor(event,rc,prc){
event.paramValue("id","");
prc.user = entityNew("User").get( rc.id );
event.setView("users/editor");
}
function delete(event,rc,prc){
event.paramValue("id","");
entityNew("User").deleteById( rc.id );
flash.put("notice","User Removed!");
setNextEvent("users.index");
}
}
