Class TCompareValidator

Description

TCompareValidator class

TCompareValidator compares the value entered by the user into an input control with the value entered into another input control or a constant value. To compare the associated input control with another input control, set the ControlToCompare property to the ID path of the control to compare with. To compare the associated input control with a constant value, specify the constant value to compare with by setting the ValueToCompare property.

The DataType property is used to specify the data type of both comparison values. Both values are automatically converted to this data type before the comparison operation is performed. The following value types are supported:

  • Integer A 32-bit signed integer data type.
  • Float A double-precision floating point number data type.
  • Date A date data type. The format can be specified by the DateFormat property
  • String A string data type.
Use the Operator property to specify the type of comparison to perform. Valid operators include Equal, NotEqual, GreaterThan, GreaterThanEqual, LessThan and LessThanEqual.

Method Summary
boolean evaluateIsValid ()
string getClientClassName ()
array getComparisonValues (string $value1, string $value2)
string getDateFormat ()
string getValueToCompare ()
void setControlToCompare (string $value)
void setDateFormat (string $value)
void setValueToCompare (string $value)
Methods
evaluateIsValid (line 152)

This method overrides the parent's implementation.

The validation succeeds if the input data compares successfully. The validation always succeeds if ControlToValidate is not specified or the input data is empty.

  • return: whether the validation succeeds
  • access: public
boolean evaluateIsValid ()

Redefinition of:
TBaseValidator::evaluateIsValid()
This is the major method for validation.
getClientClassName (line 54)

Gets the name of the javascript class responsible for performing validation for this control.

This method overrides the parent implementation.

  • return: the javascript class name
  • access: protected
string getClientClassName ()

Redefinition of:
TBaseValidator::getClientClassName()
Gets the name of the javascript class responsible for performing validation for this control.
getClientScriptOptions (line 218)

Returns an array of javascript validator options.

  • return: javascript validator options.
  • access: protected
array getClientScriptOptions ()

Redefinition of:
TBaseValidator::getClientScriptOptions()
Returns an array of javascript validator options.
getComparisonValues (line 193)

Parse the pair of values into the appropriate value type.

  • return: appropriate type of the value pair, array($value1, $value2);
  • access: protected
array getComparisonValues (string $value1, string $value2)
  • string $value1: value one
  • string $value2: second value
getControlToCompare (line 80)
  • return: the input component to compare with the input control being validated.
  • access: public
string getControlToCompare ()
getDataType (line 62)
  • return: the data type that the values being compared are converted to before the comparison is made. Defaults to TValidationDataType::String.
  • access: public
TValidationDataType getDataType ()
getDateFormat (line 140)
  • return: the date validation date format if any
  • access: public
string getDateFormat ()
getOperator (line 114)
  • return: the comparison operation to perform. Defaults to TValidationCompareOperator::Equal.
  • access: public
getValueToCompare (line 97)
  • return: the constant value to compare with the value entered by the user into the input component being validated.
  • access: public
string getValueToCompare ()
setControlToCompare (line 89)

Sets the input component to compare with the input control being validated.

  • access: public
void setControlToCompare (string $value)
  • string $value: the ID path of the component to compare with
setDataType (line 72)

Sets the data type that the values being compared are converted to before the comparison is made.

  • access: public
void setDataType (TValidationDataType $value)
setDateFormat (line 132)

Sets the date format for a date validation

  • access: public
void setDateFormat (string $value)
  • string $value: the date format value
setOperator (line 123)

Sets the comparison operation to perform

  • access: public
void setOperator (TValidationCompareOperator $value)
setValueToCompare (line 106)

Sets the constant value to compare with the value entered by the user into the input component being validated.

  • access: public
void setValueToCompare (string $value)
  • string $value: the constant value
