I have this code in my Form.php
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'unidades_andar',
'type' => 'number',
'attributes' => array(
'class' => 'form-control',
),
));
And this in my view.phtml
<?php echo $this->formElement($form->get('unidades_andar')); ?>
And when I try to submit the form, I have this error:
Array ( [unidades_andar] => Array ( [isEmpty] => Value is required and can't be empty ) )
I already tried to set "required => false".
And if I change the type to TEXT instead of NUMBER, it works.
But why can't I use the type number? It seem to always be required...
If you look at the source of of zend-framework/zend-form/src/Element/Number.php
you can see that this field is being set to required by default.
/**
* Provide default input rules for this element
*
* Attaches a number validator, as well as a greater than and less than validators
*
* @return array
*/
public function getInputSpecification()
{
return array(
'name' => $this->getName(),
'required' => true,
'filters' => array(
array('name' => 'Zend\Filter\StringTrim')
),
'validators' => $this->getValidators(),
);
}
So you need to do something like this
public function getInputFilterSpecification()
{
return [
[
"name"=>"unidades_andar",
'required' => false,
'allow_empty' => true, // this will allow submitting empty values like ''
],
];
}
