CompositeValidator
class CompositeValidator extends Validator (View source)
CompositeValidator can contain between 0 and many different types of Validators. Each Validator is itself still responsible for Validating its form and generating its ValidationResult.
Once each Validator has generated its ValidationResult, the CompositeValidator will combine these results into a single ValidationResult. This single ValidationResult is what will be returned by the CompositeValidator.
You can add Validators to the CompositeValidator in any DataObject by extending the getCMSCompositeValidator() method:
public function getCMSCompositeValidator(): CompositeValidator { $compositeValidator = parent::getCMSCompositeValidator();
$compositeValidator->addValidator(RequiredFields::create(['MyRequiredField']));
return $compositeValidator }
Or by implementing the updateCMSCompositeValidator() method in a DataExtension:
public function updateCMSCompositeValidator(CompositeValidator $compositeValidator): void { $compositeValidator->addValidator(RequiredFields::create(['AdditionalContent'])); }

Methods
An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class
Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.
Get a configuration accessor for this class. Short hand for Config::inst()->get($this->class, .....).
Gets the uninherited value for the given config option
Attempts to locate and call a method dynamically added to a class at runtime if a default cannot be located
Adds any methods from Extension instances attached to this object.
Register an callback to invoke that defines extra methods
Return TRUE if a method exists on this object
Get meta-data details on a named method
Return the names of all the methods available on this object
Add all the methods from an object property (which is an Extension) to this object.
Add all the methods from an object property (which is an Extension) to this object.
Add a wrapper method - a method which points to another method with a different name. For example, Thumbnail(x) can be wrapped to generateThumbnail(x)
Add callback as a method.
Allows user code to hook into Object::extend prior to control being delegated to extensions. Each callback will be reset once called.
Allows user code to hook into Object::extend after control being delegated to extensions. Each callback will be reset once called.
Adds any methods from Extension instances attached to this object.
Add an extension to a specific class.
No description
Get extra config sources for this class
Return TRUE if a class has a specified extension.
Calls a method if available on both this object and all applied Extensions, and then attempts to merge all results into an array
Run the given function on all of this object's extensions. Note that this method originally returned void, so if you wanted to return results, you're hosed
Get an extension instance attached to this object by name.
Returns TRUE if this object instance has a specific extension applied in $extension_instances. Extension instances are initialized at constructor time, meaning if you use add_extension() afterwards, the added extension will just be added to new instances of the extended class. Use the static method has_extension() to check if a class (not an instance) has a specific extension.
Get all extension instances for this specific object instance.
Returns any errors there may be. This method considers the enabled status of the CompositeValidator as a whole (exiting early if the Composite is disabled), as well as the enabled status of each individual Validator.
Callback to register an error on a field (Called from implementations of FormField::validate). The optional error message type parameter is loaded into the HTML class attribute.
Returns all errors found by a previous call to validate(). The returned array has a structure resembling:
Returns whether the field in question is required. This will usually display '*' next to the field.
Note: The existing implementations for the php() method (RequiredFields) does not check whether the Validator is enabled or not, and it also does not reset the validation result - so, neither does this.
Each Validator is aware of whether or not it can be cached. If even one Validator cannot be cached, then the CompositeValidator as a whole also cannot be cached.
Return all Validators that match a certain class name. EG: RequiredFields::class
Remove all Validators that match a certain class name. EG: RequiredFields::class

static Injectable
create(mixed ...$args)
An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class
This method will defer class substitution to the Injector API, which can be customised via the Config API to declare substitution classes.
This can be called in one of two ways - either calling via the class directly, or calling on Object and passing the class name as the first parameter. The following are equivalent: $list = DataList::create(SiteTree::class); $list = SiteTree::get();
static Injectable
singleton(string $class = null)
Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.
It will always return the same instance for this class, which can be used for performance reasons and as a simple way to access instance methods which don't rely on instance data (e.g. the custom SilverStripe static handling).

mixed
__call(string $method, array $arguments)
Attempts to locate and call a method dynamically added to a class at runtime if a default cannot be located
You can add extra methods to a class using Extensions}, {@link Object::createMethod() or Object::addWrapperMethod()
protected
defineMethods()
Adds any methods from Extension instances attached to this object.
All these methods can then be called directly on the instance (transparently mapped through __call()}), or called explicitly through {@link extend().
protected
registerExtraMethodCallback(string $name, callable $callback)
Register an callback to invoke that defines extra methods
bool
hasMethod(string $method)
Return TRUE if a method exists on this object
This should be used rather than PHP's inbuild method_exists() as it takes into account methods added via extensions
protected array
getExtraMethodConfig(string $method)
Get meta-data details on a named method
array
allMethodNames(bool $custom = false)
Return the names of all the methods available on this object
protected array

protected
addMethodsFrom(string $property, string|int $index = null)
Add all the methods from an object property (which is an Extension) to this object.
protected
removeMethodsFrom(string $property, string|int $index = null)
Add all the methods from an object property (which is an Extension) to this object.
protected
addWrapperMethod(string $method, string $wrap)
Add a wrapper method - a method which points to another method with a different name. For example, Thumbnail(x) can be wrapped to generateThumbnail(x)
protected
addCallbackMethod(string $method, callable $callback)
Add callback as a method.
protected
beforeExtending(string $method, callable $callback)
Allows user code to hook into Object::extend prior to control being delegated to extensions. Each callback will be reset once called.

defineExtensionMethods()
Adds any methods from Extension instances attached to this object.
All these methods can then be called directly on the instance (transparently mapped through __call()}), or called explicitly through {@link extend().
static bool
add_extension(string $classOrExtension, string $extension = null)
Add an extension to a specific class.
The preferred method for adding extensions is through YAML config, since it avoids autoloading the class, and is easier to override in more specific configurations.
As an alternative, extensions can be added to a specific class directly in the Object::$extensions array. See SiteTree::$extensions for examples. Keep in mind that the extension will only be applied to new instances, not existing ones (including all instances created through singleton()).
static
remove_extension(string $extension)
Remove an extension from a class.
Note: This will not remove extensions from parent classes, and must be called directly on the class assigned the extension.
Keep in mind that this won't revert any datamodel additions of the extension at runtime, unless its used before the schema building kicks in (in your _config.php). Doesn't remove the extension from any Object instances which are already created, but will have an effect on new extensions. Clears any previously created singletons through singleton() to avoid side-effects from stale extension information.

static array|null
get_extra_config_sources(string $class = null)
Get extra config sources for this class
static bool
has_extension(string $classOrExtension, string $requiredExtension = null, bool $strict = false)
Return TRUE if a class has a specified extension.
This supports backwards-compatible format (static Object::has_extension($requiredExtension)) and new format ($object->has_extension($class, $requiredExtension))
array
invokeWithExtensions(string $method, mixed $a1 = null, mixed $a2 = null, mixed $a3 = null, mixed $a4 = null, mixed $a5 = null, mixed $a6 = null, mixed $a7 = null)
Calls a method if available on both this object and all applied Extensions, and then attempts to merge all results into an array
array
extend(string $method, mixed $a1 = null, mixed $a2 = null, mixed $a3 = null, mixed $a4 = null, mixed $a5 = null, mixed $a6 = null, mixed $a7 = null)
Run the given function on all of this object's extensions. Note that this method originally returned void, so if you wanted to return results, you're hosed
Currently returns an array, with an index resulting every time the function is called. Only adds returns if they're not NULL, to avoid bogus results from methods just defined on the parent extension. This is important for permission-checks through extend, as they use min() to determine if any of the returns is FALSE. As min() doesn't do type checking, an included NULL return would fail the permission checks.
The extension methods are defined during __construct()} in {@link defineMethods().
Extension|null
getExtensionInstance(string $extension)
Get an extension instance attached to this object by name.
bool
hasExtension(string $extension)
Returns TRUE if this object instance has a specific extension applied in $extension_instances. Extension instances are initialized at constructor time, meaning if you use add_extension() afterwards, the added extension will just be added to new instances of the extended class. Use the static method has_extension() to check if a class (not an instance) has a specific extension.
Caution: Don't use singleton(
Extension[]
getExtensionInstances()
Get all extension instances for this specific object instance.
See get_extensions() to get all applied extension classes for this class (not the instance).
This method also provides lazy-population of the extension_instances property.
__construct(array $validators = [])
CompositeValidator constructor.
$this
setForm(Form $form)
Set the provided Form to the CompositeValidator and each Validator that has been added.
ValidationResult
validate()
Returns any errors there may be. This method considers the enabled status of the CompositeValidator as a whole (exiting early if the Composite is disabled), as well as the enabled status of each individual Validator.
$this
validationError(string $fieldName, string $message, string $messageType = ValidationResult::TYPE_ERROR, string|bool $cast = ValidationResult::CAST_TEXT)
Callback to register an error on a field (Called from implementations of FormField::validate). The optional error message type parameter is loaded into the HTML class attribute.
See getErrors() for details.
null|array
getErrors()
Returns all errors found by a previous call to validate(). The returned array has a structure resembling:
array(
