| Method | Description | Returns |
|---|---|---|
| getType() | Returns the type of the current element | string |
| isMultiple() | Returns whether multiple value is set | bool |
| getOptions() | Returns options array from settings. Returns null if setting is not set or set incorrect (every option should have at least `value` and `title` keys). Returns only unique value based on `value` key. NOTE values are not encoded. You need to encode them before rendering in HTML. Also, remember to encode value when you are comparing them. | array |
| getErrors() | Gets all violations (error messages) related to the element's current submission | array |
| getErrorMessage() | Gets error message for the field. If there are several errors for the element, all of them will be added to this message. | string |
| hasErrors() | Returns whether element has at least one error | bool |
| getValue(ElementSubmission $submission) | Gets string representation of given submission value. By default, returns values from submission values array (via [[getValues()]] method) imploded by ', '. That is suitable for most of the inputs. For example, InputText is always filled by one value in array, so only one value will be returned. For InputSelect it's ok to use current method if select is not (or was not when was submitted) multiple. If InputSelect (or similar) is multiple, and you use current method, if there is a ',' sing in submitted values, it could be difficult to explode current string then. That's why if InputSelect is "multiple" it's better to use [[getValues()]] method instead. NOTE that submission validness isn't checked here. | string |
| getValues(ElementSubmission $submission) | Gets array representation of given submission value even if it's one value array. By default, returns submission values array. Returns null if values are not set at all. NOTE that submission validness isn't checked here. | array |
| getName() | string | |
| getEntity() | string | |
| getId() | int | |
| getHelp() | Gets help text for the element. It could be used as a tooltip or in HTML as a title attribute, e.g. ' '. | string |
| getEditor() | string | |
| getText() | Text for the element that usually is used for element's label | string |
| getDefaultValue() | string | |
| getPlaceholder() | string | |
| isRequired() | bool | |
| getRegex() | string | |
| getPosition() | int | |
| getSettings() | array | |
| getRevision() | FormRevision | |
| getStep() | Step | |
| getSubmissions() | Collection (ElementSubmission) | |
| getParent() | ElementGroup | |
| isNewRecord() | Check if the record is a new record | bool |
| isHierarchicalModel() | Check whether a model is a hierarchical model, i.e. can have children | bool |
Forms\Models\Backend\InputCheckbox
Entity for ` `. Could represent two types of checkbox: - single: input to save bool value based on checked attribute. - multiple: save different values inside. Actually the same with multiple InputSelect.
