Property Details

public boolean $allowEmpty;

whether the attribute value can be null or empty. Defaults to true, meaning that if the attribute is empty, it is considered valid.

not property (available since v1.1.5)

public boolean $not;

whether to invert the validation logic. Defaults to false. If set to true, the regular expression defined via pattern should NOT match the attribute value.

pattern property

public string $pattern;

the regular expression to be matched with
