Multiple Validators

Datagaard · September 2016

I want to be able to validate a numeric field that will allow a null value.

I can't seem to get the right combination of option settings.

Tried this:

Field::inst( 'CMBSCodes.MaxClaimAmount' )
            ->validator( 'Validate::empty',true)
            ->validator( 'Validate::numeric' )

But I receive an Error in the Editor, with no message when I leave the field which is null untouched.

Or have I misinterpreted the validation options manual!

I think you just need:

Field::inst( 'CMBSCodes.MaxClaimAmount' )
            ->validator( 'Validate::numeric' )

Editor's PHP validators have a "common" validation and an empty check is part of that. The default is to allow a null value if it is optional.
