ExprBuilder validate()

Sets an expression to run for the validation.

The expression receives the value of the node and must return it. It can modify it. An exception should be thrown when the node is not valid.

bool $deny Whether the overwriting is forbidden or not

setBuilder(NodeBuilder $builder)

Sets a custom children builder.

Parameters

NodeBuilder $builder

children()

Returns a builder to add children nodes.

NodeDefinition prototype(string $type)

Sets a prototype for child nodes.

Parameters

string $type the type of node

Return Value

NodeDefinition

ArrayNodeDefinition addDefaultsIfNotSet()

Adds the default value if the node is not set in the configuration.

This method is applicable to concrete nodes only (not to prototype nodes). If this function has been called and the node is not set during the finalization phase, it's default value will be derived from its children default values.

Return Value

ArrayNodeDefinition

ArrayNodeDefinition addDefaultChildrenIfNoneSet(int|string|array|null $children = null)

Adds children with a default value when none are defined.

Parameters

int|string|array|null $children The number of children|The child name|The children names to be added

This method is applicable to prototype nodes only.

Return Value

ArrayNodeDefinition

ArrayNodeDefinition requiresAtLeastOneElement()

Requires the node to have at least one element.

This method is applicable to prototype nodes only.

Return Value

ArrayNodeDefinition

ArrayNodeDefinition disallowNewKeysInSubsequentConfigs()

Disallows adding news keys in a subsequent configuration.

If used all keys have to be defined in the same configuration file.

Return Value

ArrayNodeDefinition

ArrayNodeDefinition fixXmlConfig(string $singular, string $plural = null)

Sets a normalization rule for XML configurations.

Parameters

string $singular The key to remap
string $plural The plural of the key for irregular plurals

Return Value

ArrayNodeDefinition

ArrayNodeDefinition useAttributeAsKey(string $name, bool $removeKeyItem = true)

Sets the attribute which value is to be used as key.

This is useful when you have an indexed array that should be an associative array. You can select an item from within the array to be the key of the particular item. For example, if "id" is the "key", then:

array(
    array('id' => 'my_name', 'foo' => 'bar'),
);

becomes

array(
    'my_name' => array('foo' => 'bar'),
);

If you'd like "'id' => 'my_name'" to still be present in the resulting array, then you can set the second argument of this method to false.

This method is applicable to prototype nodes only.

Parameters

string $name The name of the key
bool $removeKeyItem Whether or not the key item should be removed.

Return Value

ArrayNodeDefinition

ArrayNodeDefinition canBeUnset(bool $allow = true)

Sets whether the node can be unset.

Parameters

bool $allow

Return Value

ArrayNodeDefinition

ArrayNodeDefinition canBeEnabled()

Adds an "enabled" boolean to enable the current section.

By default, the section is disabled. If any configuration is specified then the node will be automatically enabled:

enableableArrayNode: {enabled: true, ...} # The config is enabled & default values get overridden enableableArrayNode: ~ # The config is enabled & use the default values enableableArrayNode: true # The config is enabled & use the default values enableableArrayNode: {other: value, ...} # The config is enabled & default values get overridden enableableArrayNode: {enabled: false, ...} # The config is disabled enableableArrayNode: false # The config is disabled

Return Value

ArrayNodeDefinition

ArrayNodeDefinition canBeDisabled()

Adds an "enabled" boolean to enable the current section.

By default, the section is enabled.

Return Value

ArrayNodeDefinition

ArrayNodeDefinition performNoDeepMerging()

Disables the deep merging of the node.

Return Value

ArrayNodeDefinition

ArrayNodeDefinition ignoreExtraKeys(bool $remove = true)

Allows extra config keys to be specified under an array without throwing an exception.

Those config values are simply ignored and removed from the resulting array. This should be used only in special cases where you want to send an entire configuration array through a special tree that processes only part of the array.

Parameters

bool $remove Whether to remove the extra keys

Return Value

ArrayNodeDefinition

ArrayNodeDefinition normalizeKeys(bool $bool)

Sets key normalization.

Parameters

bool $bool Whether to enable key normalization

Return Value

ArrayNodeDefinition

append(NodeDefinition $node)

Appends a node definition.

$node = new ArrayNodeDefinition() ->children() ->scalarNode('foo')->end() ->scalarNode('baz')->end() ->end() ->append($this->getBarNodeDefinition()) ;

Parameters

NodeDefinition $node
