Strange logic of CI Model with useCasts and validate for json-array field - Avega Soft - 09-29-2024
Hi everybody. I faced the following problem in CI 4.5.5. I use validation and casts on the CI Model side here is an example code:
PHP Code:
protected array $casts = [
'id' => 'int',
'profile' => '?json-array',
'extra' => '?json-array',
'expires' => 'int',
'created_by_id' => 'int',
'updated_by_id' => 'int',
'roleId' => 'int',
'moduleId' => 'int',
'selfAuth' => 'int',
];
protected $validationRules = [
'profile.surname' => [
'label' => 'surname',
'rules' => 'required|max_length[255]',
],
'profile.name' => [
'label' => 'name',
'rules' => 'required|max_length[255]',
],
'profile.patronymic' => [
'label' => 'patronymic',
'rules' => 'permit_empty|max_length[255]',
],
'phone' => [
'label' => 'phone',
'rules' => 'required|mob_phone|is_unique[users.phone]',
],
'email' => [
'label' => 'Email',
'rules' => 'required|max_length[255]|valid_email|is_unique[users.email]',
],
'password' => [
'label' => 'Пароль',
'rules' => 'required|verify_password',
],
'password_conf' => [
'label' => 'password conf',
'rules' => 'required|matches[password]',
],
];
When I try to insert data, a validation error occurs: profile.surname and profile.name - are required fields to fill in. After examining the BaseModel source code, I see that the transformDataToArray method casts profile values into a string and after that data validation occurs and, accordingly, an error occurs. As for me, the logic of the sequence of processes is strange. I understand that the validation method expects an array, but why casts it before that and is it a Bug or did I not understand the logic?
