Method Details

add()

Add an element or fieldset

$flags could contain metadata such as the alias under which to register the element or fieldset, order in which to prioritize it, etc.

Parameter Name	Type	Description
$elementOrFieldset	array|\Traversable|\ElementInterface	Typically,
$flags	array

Returns: \FieldsetInterface

allowObjectBinding()

Checks if the object can be set in this fieldset

Parameter Name	Type	Description
	$object
$object

Returns: bool

allowValueBinding()

Checks if this fieldset can bind data

Returns: bool

bind()

Bind an object to the element

Allows populating the object with validated values.

Parameter Name	Type	Description
$object	object
$flags	int

Returns: mixed

bindValues()

Bind values to the bound object

Parameter Name	Type	Description
$values	array

Returns: mixed

get()

Retrieve a named element or fieldset

Parameter Name	Type	Description
$elementOrFieldset	string

Returns: \ElementInterface

getAttribute()

Retrieve a single element attribute

Parameter Name	Type	Description
$key	string

Returns: mixed

getAttributes()

Retrieve all attributes at once

Returns: array|\Traversable

getData()

Retrieve the validated data

By default, retrieves normalized values; pass one of the VALUES_* constants to shape the behavior.

Parameter Name	Type	Description
$flag	int

Returns: array|object

getElements()

Retrieve all attached elements

Storage is an implementation detail of the concrete class.

Returns: array|\Traversable

getFieldsets()

Retrieve all attached fieldsets

Storage is an implementation detail of the concrete class.

Returns: array|\Traversable

getHydrator()

Get the hydrator used when binding an object to the element

Returns: null|\HydratorInterface

getInputFilter()

Retrieve input filter

Returns: \InputFilterInterface

getLabel()

Retrieve the label (if any) used for this element
