validatesNumericalityOf()


Model Configuration Validation Functions void model


Validates that the value of the specified property is numeric.

Name Type Required Default Description
properties string No Name of property or list of property names to validate against (can also be called with the property argument).
message string No [property] is not a number Supply a custom error message here to override the built-in one.
when string No onSave Pass in onCreate or onUpdate to limit when this validation occurs (by default validation will occur on both create and update, i.e. onSave).
allowBlank boolean No false If set to true, validation will be skipped if the property value is an empty string or doesn't exist at all. This is useful if you only want to run this validation after it passes the validatesPresenceOf test, thus avoiding duplicate error messages if it doesn't.
onlyInteger boolean No false Specifies whether the property value must be an integer.
condition string No String expression to be evaluated that decides if validation will be run (if the expression returns true validation will run).
unless string No String expression to be evaluated that decides if validation will be run (if the expression returns false validation will run).
odd boolean No
even boolean No
greaterThan numeric No Specifies whether or not the value must be greater than the supplied value.
greaterThanOrEqualTo numeric No Specifies whether or not the value must be greater than or equal the supplied value.
equalTo numeric No Specifies whether or not the value must be equal to the supplied value.
lessThan numeric No Specifies whether or not the value must be less than the supplied value.
lessThanOrEqualTo numeric No Specifies whether or not the value must be less than or equal the supplied value.
// Make sure that the score is a number with no decimals but only when a score is supplied. (Tetting `allowBlank` to `true` means that objects are allowed to be saved without scores, typically resulting in `NULL` values being inserted in the database table)
validatesNumericalityOf(property="score", onlyInteger=true, allowBlank=true, message="Please enter a correct score.");
