InheritanceSize Inheritance BaseConstraint

The ActionsScript3 implementation of the javax.validation.constraints.Size annotation validator.

The annotated element size must be between the specified boundaries (included).

Accepted arguments are:

Supported types are: null elements are considered valid.

Example:

  [Size(message="{my.custom.message}", groups="path.to.MyGroup1, path.to.MyGroup2", min="2", max="10")]
  public function get property():String {
      ...
  }

Method detail
initialize()method
public override function initialize(annotation:Annotation, factory:ValidatorFactory):void

Initialize this constraint, according to the supplied annotation parameters.

The org.granite.validation.BaseConstraint implementation of this method throws an Error and must be overridden in inherited classes.

Parameters
annotation:Annotation — the anntotation defining this constraint.
 
factory:ValidatorFactory
validate()method 
public override function validate(value:*):String

Validate the value parameter, according to this constraint specification.

The org.granite.validation.BaseConstraint implementation of this method throws an Error and must be overridden in inherited classes.

Parameters
value:* — the value to be validated.

Returns
String — null if the supplied value is valid, an error message key otherwise.
Constant detail
DEFAULT_MESSAGEconstant
public static const DEFAULT_MESSAGE:String = "{javax.validation.constraints.Size.message}"

The default message key of this constraint.
