Can we have an action (create, edit ...) in field validation ?

Benoit87

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to have a validator only on specific action at field level :
Here, there is never 'test' in my log, what is wrong ?
But with Global validator, it works fine.

        // Fields Validator
        ->fields(
            Field::inst( 'USERID' )
                ->validator(function ($editor, $action, $data){
                    if ($action === Editor::ACTION_EDIT){
                        error_log('test');
                    }
                    return true;
                })

I found i think, it could be correct ?

        // Fields Validator
        ->fields(
            Field::inst( 'USERID' )
                ->validator(function ($editor, $action, $data, $host){
                    error_log(print_r($host['action'], true));
                })

Use the preCreate and preEdit events to add a validator to a field based on what action is being performed.

thank you can you give me a sample please

allan

->on( 'preCreate', function ( $editor, &$values ) {
  $editor->field('USERID' )->validator(function ($editor, $action, $data, $host){
    error_log(print_r($host['action'], true));
  });
})

Thanks you very much, finally i did this :
It seem to works fine in field now.
What's impact to put it to preCreate ? It's just a best practice ?

    $editor = Editor::inst( $db, 'TABLE1', 'IDENT' )
        // Fields Validator
        ->fields(
            Field::inst( 'USERID' )
                ->validator( function ( $val, $data, $field, $host ) {
                    if ($host['action'] === 'create') {

                    }
                    return true;
                } )

That will work as well. preCreate is how I've always done it, I think the resulting code is a little cleaner, but its up to you
