Is there a way to send multiple values to the `validationFunction` on `CustomValidation`

KD commented on Apr 7, 2023

Please assist me in validating the same character for both the new and confirm password fields... In the current version, the validationFunction only accepts a single argument, but I would like to send both values and show I can compare them...

CustomValidator::create("confirmPasswordMatch")
                ->inputToValidate("newPassword")
                ->inputToValidate("confirmPassword")
                ->validationFunction(function ($value, $value2) {
                    return ($value == $value2)?true:false;
                })
                ->validationGroup("vGroup")
                ->errorMessage("Password and Confirm Password does not match!"),

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Here is the answer from dev.team, you can do this:

CustomValidator::create("confirmPasswordMatch")
                ->inputToValidate("newPassword")
                ->validationFunction(function ($value) {
                    return ($value == $this->sibling("confirmPassword")->value())?true:false;
                })
                ->validationGroup("vGroup")
                ->errorMessage("Password and Confirm Password does not match!")

So we put custom validator to newPassword and inside the validation function, you access the confirmPassword value with $this->sibling("confirmPassword"). At the nutshell, the validator object is actually an widget added to dashboard.

Let us know if you need further assistance.
