TYPO3 Extension px_validation

Extbase validation controlled/ overruled via TypoScript for TYPO3 extensions

1 Features

The PxValidation extension enables the possibility to define different validation configuration in your TypoScript for each Extbase-Controller-Action without touching the affected extension itself. This makes it easy to change the default validation behaviour of vendor extensions without changing their code. But the greatest benefit is that it opens the option to declare multiple variants of validation rules within one page tree. It is even possible to nest validation rules, so you can validate child objects.

Installation as extension from TYPO3 Extension Repository (TER)

2.2 Setup

1) Include the static TypoScript of the extension. 2) Create some TypoScript in your e.g. "site_package" extension to override the validation rules of any other extension 1) See example below:

Example:

PHP:

namespace VendorName\ExtensionName\Controller;

class FooController extends \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Controller\ActionController {

    /**
     * action create
     *
     * @param \VendorName\ExtensionName\Domain\Model\FooBar $fooBar
     * @return void
     */
    public function createAction(\VendorName\ExtensionName\Domain\Model\FooBar $fooBar) {
        ...       
    }
}

TypoScript:

plugin.tx_pxvalidation.settings {
    VendorName\ExtensionName\Controller\FooController {
        actionMethodName {
            fooBar {
                # (default 0) if 1, then the validation rules defined in the property, model or controller are NOT executed
                overwriteDefaultValidation = 1
                objectValidators {
                    0 = @TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Annotation\Validate("VendorName\ExtensionName\Domain\Validator\FooValidator", options={"firstOption": value1, "secondOption": 123456})
                    1 = @TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Annotation\Validate("VendorName\ExtensionName\Domain\Validator\BarValidator", options={"firstOption": value1})
                }
                propertyValidators {
                    foo {
                        0 = @TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Annotation\Validate("NotEmpty")
                    }
                    bar {
                        0 = @TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Annotation\Validate("NotEmpty")
                        1 = @TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Annotation\Validate("StringLength", options={"minimum": 3, "maximum": 50})
                        2 = @TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Annotation\Validate("VendorName\ExtensionName\Domain\Validator\CustomValidator", options={"firstOption": value1})
                    }
                    childObject {
                        propertyValidators {
                            subProperty1 {
                                0 = @TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Annotation\Validate("NotEmpty")
                            }
                            subProperty2 {
                                0 = @TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Annotation\Validate("NotEmpty")
                            }
                            #...
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
