Validation in extbase using regex

Question

I want to use validation of model properties in extbase via regex and using the following syntax:

/**
 *
 *@var string $telephone
 *@validate RegularExpression('/^[0-9]+$/')
 */
 $protected $telephone;

But I keep getting a validation error, irrespective of the value of $telephone variable.What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You could simply do something like

/**
 *
 * @var string $telephone
 *
 */
 $protected $telephone;

in this case you only get integer values to var telephone.

the other way is to add the right validation syntax

@validate $telephone notEmpty, regularExpression(regularExpression="/^[0-9]+$/")
