Property Details

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
