Methods

isDynamic()

isDynamic() : boolean

Check if the current field is a dynamic field.

Returns

boolean —

True if dynamic, false if not.

addCondition()

addCondition(string  $strType, boolean  $blnValue, array  $arrComparisons, string  $intComparisonType = \ValidFormBuilder\ValidForm::VFORM_MATCH_ANY) 

Add a new condition to the current field

For examples, check \ValidFormBuilder\Condition

Parameters

string $strType

Define the condition type. This can be either required, visibile or enabled

boolean $blnValue

Define whether this condition activates if the comparison(s) are true or false.

array $arrComparisons

An array of Comparison objects

string $intComparisonType

The comparison type. Either ValidForm::VFORM_MATCH_ANY or ValidForm::VFORM_MATCH_ALL. With VFORM_MATCH_ANY, as soon as one of the comparisons validates the condition, the condition is enforced. With ValidForm::VFORM_MATCH_ALL, all of the comparisons must validate before the condition will be enforced.

Throws

\Exception

if Condition could not be set

\InvalidArgumentException

If invalid arguments are supplied

getConditions()

getConditions() : array

Get the conditions collection

array

getCondition()

getCondition(string  $strProperty) : \ValidFormBuilder\Condition|null

Parameters

string $strProperty

Condition type e.g. 'required', 'visibile' and 'enabled'

Returns

\ValidFormBuilder\Condition|null —

Found condition or null if no condition is found.

Parameters

string $strProperty

Condition type e.g. 'required', 'visibile' and 'enabled'

Returns

null|\ValidFormBuilder\Condition

hasCondition()

hasCondition(string  $strProperty) : boolean

Check if the current field contains a condition object of a specific type

Parameters

Returns

boolean —

True if element has condition object set, false if not

hasConditions()

hasConditions() : boolean

Check if the current object contains any conditions at all.

getConditionRecursive()

getConditionRecursive(string  $strProperty, \ValidFormBuilder\Element  $objContext = null) : \ValidFormBuilder\Condition|null

\ValidFormBuilder\Element $objContext

Returns

\ValidFormBuilder\Condition|null
