Model validation

Localized validation classes can be used for validating model fields.

use Cake\ORM\Table;
use Cake\Localized\Validation\FrValidation;
use Cake\Validation\Validator;

class PostsTable extends Table
{
    public function validationDefault(Validator $validator)
    {
        $validator->setProvider('fr', FrValidation::class);
        $validator->add('phoneField', 'myCustomRuleNameForPhone', [
            'rule' => 'phone',
            'provider' => 'fr'
        ]);
    }
}

For further information on validation rules see the CakePHP documentation on validation

PO files

This plugin also houses translations for the client-facing translated strings in the core (the cake domain). to use these files link or copy them into their expected location: resources/locales/<locale>/cake.po

Contributing to Localized

If you find that your country is not part of the Localized plugin, please fork the project on Github. Once you have forked the project you can commit your validator class (and any test cases). As soon as you have pushed your changes back to Github you can send a pull request and your changes will be reviewed and merged in, or feedback will be given.

Validation methods

There are a few methods that are common to all classes, defined through the interface "ValidationInterface":

• phone() to check a phone number
• postal() to check a postal code
• personId() to check a country specific person ID

Please try to fit your validation rules in that naming scheme. Apart from that you can also define further validation methods in your implementing class, of course.
