RE: [Reactor for CF] Extended Validation

[Erik-Jan Jaquet]

Hi Dan,   Waht I have done, is the following:   -          in the ‘reactor-created’ cfc’s find the validator cfc for the object that you want to add to. -          In this cfc, add a function for the field you want to add to, for instance validateUser -          First call <cfset super.validateEmail(arguments.UserRecord, arguments.ErrorCollection) /> to run all the reactor validation -          Then add calls to your own functions, that you can add below the function you are in know.   My CFC looks like this:     <cfcomponent hint="I am the validator object for the User object.  I am generated, but not overwritten if I exist.  You are safe to edit me."             extends="reactor.project.cello.Validator.UserValidator">             <!--- Place custom code here, it will not be overwritten --->                         <!--- validateEmail --->             <cffunction name="validateEmail" access="public" hint="I validate the Email field" output="false" returntype="reactor.util.ErrorCollection">                         <cfargument name="UserRecord" hint="I am the UserRecord to validate." required="no" type="reactor.project.cello.Record.UserRecord" />                         <cfargument name="ErrorCollection" hint="I am the error collection to populate. If not provided a new collection is created." required="no" type="reactor.util.ErrorCollection" default="#createErrorCollection(arguments.UserRecord._getDictionary())#" />                                                 <cfset super.validateEmail(arguments.UserRecord, arguments.ErrorCollection) />                                                 <!--- validate Email is unique --->                         <cfset validateEmailIsUnique(arguments.UserRecord, arguments.ErrorCollection)>                           <!--- validate Email is correct --->                         <cfset validateEmailIsCorrect(arguments.UserRecord, arguments.ErrorCollection)>                                                 <cfreturn arguments.ErrorCollection />             </cffunction>                                     <!--- validateEmailIsUnique --->             <cffunction name="validateEmailIsUnique" access="public" hint="I validate that the email field is unique" output="false" returntype="reactor.util.ErrorCollection">                         <cfargument name="UserRecord" hint="I am the UserRecord to validate." required="no" type="reactor.project.cello.Record.UserRecord" />                         <cfargument name="ErrorCollection" hint="I am the error collection to populate. If not provided a new collection is created." required="no" type="reactor.util.ErrorCollection" default="#createErrorCollection(arguments.UserRecord._getDictionary())#" />                         <cfset var UserGateway = _getReactorFactory().createGateway("User") />                           <!--- insure that another user with the same username does not already exist --->                         <cfif UserGateway.validateEmail(arguments.UserRecord.getUserId(), arguments.UserRecord.getEmail())>                                    <cfset arguments.ErrorCollection.addError("User.email.duplicateEmail") />                         </cfif>                                                 <cfreturn arguments.ErrorCollection />             </cffunction>               <!--- validateEmailIsCorrect --->             <cffunction name="validateEmailIsCorrect" access="public" hint="I validate that the email field is a correct emailaddress" output="false" returntype="reactor.util.ErrorCollection">                         <cfargument name="UserRecord" hint="I am the UserRecord to validate." required="no" type="reactor.project.cello.Record.UserRecord" />                         <cfargument name="ErrorCollection" hint="I am the error collection to populate. If not provided a new collection is created." required="no" type="reactor.util.ErrorCollection" default="#createErrorCollection(arguments.UserRecord._getDictionary())#" />                           <cfif NOT isValid("Email", arguments.UserRecord.getEmail())>                                    <cfset arguments.ErrorCollection.addError("User.email.InCorrectEmail") />                         </cfif>                                                 <cfreturn arguments.ErrorCollection />             </cffunction> </cfcomponent>   I believe this is copied from the MG / Reactor Blog sample from the Reactor site.   Good luck!   Erik-Jan   Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Dan Vega Verzonden: Saturday, July 08, 2006 2:55 AM Aan: reactor@reactorframework.com Onderwerp: [Reactor for CF] Extended Validation   Does anyone have an example of custom validation? I do not wish to overwrite the curret validation,just to extend it. I have a userRecord that contains a bunch of basic info that reactor is already validating. I would like to aded custom validation so i can find out if 1.) the users email address & confirm email address from the user signup form match. 2.) the users password & confirm password from the form match. Im just not quite sure how to do this, thanks!!! -- Dan Vega [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Reactor for ColdFusion Mailing List reactor@doughughes.net Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/reactor%40doughughes.net/ -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Reactor for ColdFusion Mailing List reactor@doughughes.net Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/reactor%40doughughes.net/ -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
