[fw-general] form input validators, it works but am I doing it right?

[poashoas]

Hi there,

I have a form which validates my inputs, it works... but it looks weird....
Lets give a simple example:

--------------------------

namespace Contact\Form;

use Zend\Form\Form,
    Zend\InputFilter\InputFilter,
    Zend\InputFilter\Input,
    Zend\Validator\ValidatorChain,
    Pixiebox\Api;

    class Contact extends Form
    {
      public function mail ()
      {
        $form = new Form('contactFrm');

        $form->setAttributes(array(
          'class'   => 'span8 validate',
          'method'  => 'post',
        ))->add(array(
          'name' => 'voornaam',
          'attributes' => array(
          'data-valid' => 'notempty',
          'maxlength' => 80,
          'required' => 'required',
          'size' => 40,
          'type' => 'text',
        ));


        $inputFilter = new InputFilter();

        // Create a input
        $inputFirstname = new Input('voornaam');
        $validatorFirstname = new ValidatorChain();

        $validatorFirstname->addValidator(new
\Zend\Validator\StringLength(array('min' => 2, 'max' => 80)));
        $inputFirstname->setValidatorChain($validatorFirstname);
        $form->setInputFilter($inputFilter);

        return $form;
      }
    }
---------------------


In the Controller I do this:


----------------------
    $contactForm = new \Contact\Form\Contact();
    $form = $contactForm->contact();

    $request = $this->getRequest();

    if ($request->isPost()) {
      $post = $request->getPost();
      $form->setData($post);

      if ($form->isValid()) {
         // do some magic
      }
   }
----------------
