Detailed Description

Type definition for string types.

The result from validate() is a PHP string.

Failure codes:

'missingparam': The parameter is the empty string (and that's not allowed). No data.

Additional codes may be generated when using certain PARAM constants. See the constants' documentation for details.

Since: 1.34

Stability: unstable

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __construct()

Wikimedia\ParamValidator\TypeDef\StringDef::__construct	(	Callbacks	$callbacks,
		array	$options = [] )

Parameters

Callbacks	$callbacks
array	$options	Options: allowEmptyWhenRequired: (bool) Whether to reject the empty string when PARAM_REQUIRED. Defaults to false.

Definition at line 56 of file StringDef.php.

Member Function Documentation

◆ checkSettings()

Wikimedia\ParamValidator\TypeDef\StringDef::checkSettings	(	string	$name,
			$settings,
		array	$options,
		array	$ret )

Validate a parameter settings array.

This is intended for validation of parameter settings during unit or integration testing, and should implement strict checks.

The rest of the code should generally be more permissive.

See also: ParamValidator::checkSettings()

Stability: stable: to override

Parameters

string	$name	Parameter name
array \| mixed	$settings	Default value or an array of settings using PARAM_* constants.
array	$options	Options array, passed through to the TypeDef and Callbacks.
array	$ret	'issues': (string[]) Errors detected in $settings, as English text. If the settings are valid, this will be the empty array. Keys on input are ParamValidator constants, allowing the typedef to easily override core validation; this need not be preserved when returned. 'allowedKeys': (string[]) ParamValidator keys that are allowed in `$settings`. 'messages': (MessageValue[]) Messages to be checked for existence.

Returns: array $ret, with any relevant changes.

◆ getHelpInfo()

Wikimedia\ParamValidator\TypeDef\StringDef::getHelpInfo	(		$name,
		array	$settings,
		array	$options )

Describe parameter settings in human-readable format.

Keys in the returned array should generally correspond to PARAM constants.

If relevant, a MessageValue describing the type itself should be returned with key ParamValidator::PARAM_TYPE.

The default messages for other ParamValidator-defined PARAM constants may be suppressed by returning null as the value for those constants, or replaced by returning a replacement MessageValue. Normally, however, the default messages should not be changed.

MessageValues describing any other constraints applied via PARAM constants specific to this class should also be returned.

Stability: stable: to override

Parameters

string	$name	Parameter name being described.
array	$settings	Parameter settings array.
array	$options	Options array.

Returns: (MessageValue|null)[]

Definition at line 139 of file StringDef.php.

◆ getParamInfo()

Wikimedia\ParamValidator\TypeDef\StringDef::getParamInfo	(		$name,
		array	$settings,
		array	$options )

Describe parameter settings in a machine-readable format.

Keys should be short strings using lowercase ASCII letters. Values should generally be values that could be encoded in JSON or the like.

This is intended to handle PARAM constants specific to this class. It generally shouldn't handle constants defined on ParamValidator itself.

Stability: stable: to override

Parameters

string	$name	Parameter name.
array	$settings	Parameter settings array.
array	$options	Options array.

Returns: array

Definition at line 130 of file StringDef.php.

◆ validate()

Wikimedia\ParamValidator\TypeDef\StringDef::validate	(		$name,
			$value,
		array	$settings,
		array	$options )

Validate the value.

When ParamValidator is processing a multi-valued parameter, this will be called once for each of the supplied values. Which may mean zero calls.

When getValue() returned null, this will not be called.

Parameters

string	$name	Parameter name being validated.
mixed	$value	Value to validate, from getValue().
array	$settings	Parameter settings array.
array	$options	Options array. Note the following values that may be set by ParamValidator: is-default: (bool) If present and true, the value was taken from PARAM_DEFAULT rather that being supplied by the client. values-list: (string[]) If defined, values of a multi-valued parameter are being processed (and this array holds the full set of values).

Returns: mixed Validated value

Exceptions

ValidationException if the value is invalid

protected

Definition at line 48 of file StringDef.php.

◆ PARAM_MAX_BYTES

const Wikimedia\ParamValidator\TypeDef\StringDef::PARAM_MAX_BYTES = 'param-max-bytes'

(integer) Maximum length of a string in bytes.

Failure codes:

'maxbytes': The string is too long. Data:
- 'maxbytes': The maximum number of bytes allowed, or null if no limit
- 'maxchars': The maximum number of characters allowed, or null if no limit

Definition at line 34 of file StringDef.php.

◆ PARAM_MAX_CHARS

const Wikimedia\ParamValidator\TypeDef\StringDef::PARAM_MAX_CHARS = 'param-max-chars'

(integer) Maximum length of a string in characters (Unicode codepoints).

The string is assumed to be encoded as UTF-8.

Failure codes:

'maxchars': The string is too long. Data:
- 'maxbytes': The maximum number of bytes allowed, or null if no limit
- 'maxchars': The maximum number of characters allowed, or null if no limit
