php - Skip validators in Zend Framework 2 Forms -

i using zend framework 2 building project. in 1 of forms have field needs validates several validators if given condition satisfied (e.g. value of form field).

is there way skip validation of field based on external condition?

you can use method setvalidationgroup inside inputfilter class set input fields should validated.

you example extend inputfilter class , use setvalidationgroup in customized setdata method, , set group depending on presence of field in $data.

for example this:

<?php  namespace application\inputfilter;  use zend\inputfilter\inputfilter;  class custominputfilter extends inputfilter {     /**      * set data use when validating , filtering      *      * @param  array|traversable $data      * @return inputfilterinterface      */     public function setdata($data)     {         $group = array(             // custom validation group         );         if(isset($data['fieldname'])){             $this->setvalidationgroup($group);         }          // forward default setdata method         return parent::setdata($data);     } } 

extending class 1 option show possible. can of course setvalidationgroup somewhere else externally without customizing inputfilter class.

$group = array(     // custom validation group ); $inputfilter->setvalidationgroup($group);
