Zend\Form\Element\Range

The Range element is meant to be paired with the Zend/Form/View/Helper/FormRange for HTML5 inputs with type range. This element adds filters and validators to it’s input filter specification in order to validate HTML5 range values on the server.

Basic Usage of Zend\Form\Element\Range

This element automatically adds a "type" attribute of value "range".

use Zend\Form\Element;
use Zend\Form\Form;

$range = new Element\Range('range');
$range
    ->setLabel('Minimum and Maximum Amount')
    ->setAttributes(array(
        'min'  => '0',   // default minimum is 0
        'max'  => '100', // default maximum is 100
        'step' => '1',   // default interval is 1
    ));

$form = new Form('my-form');
$form->add($range);

Note

Note: the min, max, and step attributes should be set prior to calling Zend\Form::prepare(). Otherwise, the default input specification for the element may not contain the correct validation rules.

Available Methods

The following methods are in addition to the inherited methods of Zend\Form\Element\Number.

getInputSpecification

getInputSpecification()

Returns a input filter specification, which includes Zend\Filter\StringTrim and will add the appropriate validators based on the values from the min, max, and step attributes. See getInputSpecification in Zend\Form\Element\Number for more information.

The Range element differs from Zend\Form\Element\Number in that the Zend\Validator\GreaterThan and Zend\Validator\LessThan validators will always be present. The default minimum is 1, and the default maximum is 100.

Returns array
