# Dec 28th 2018, 12:47 challgren Like how so?
# Dec 28th 2018, 12:47 G00DSP33D Thanks challgren for your suggestion. This behaviour is a great take on serializing JSON data, but we're looking for something more advanced.
# Dec 28th 2018, 11:50 challgren @g00dsp33d look into https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-tools/blob/master/docs/Behavior/Jsonable.md
# Dec 28th 2018, 11:06 G00DSP33D Any help / tips / pointers would be much appreciated!
# Dec 28th 2018, 11:06 G00DSP33D In 3.x we're looking at the complex data types feature to help us, but we're unsure about 2 things. Should we follow our previous logic for validation or is there a better way? And is there any way in 3.x to query the database and search for a specific field value that is stored as a JSON string?
# Dec 28th 2018, 11:06 birdy247 it was not setting ->useImmutable()
# Dec 28th 2018, 11:06 birdy247 Ok, @dereuromark @steinkel it was our own datatype that had the issue
# Dec 28th 2018, 11:04 G00DSP33D If validation was successful, we then took all the dynamic fields, apply json_encode() and store the data in the big TEXT field as a JSON string.
# Dec 28th 2018, 11:03 G00DSP33D Our system was developed in 2.x and during this holiday season we're finally taking the plunge into 3.x. In 2.x we used a TEXT field in the DB to store dynamic field data as a JSON string. In order to ensure validation, we collected individual fields separately in the form. If a dynamic field was found in the form, we would dynamically add the necessary validation rules, so each field was validated.
# Dec 28th 2018, 11:00 G00DSP33D Hi all, great to be here amongst fellow CakePHP devs! I have a quick question about validating complex data types (JSON) in CakePHP 3.x as we are in the middle of a migration of our CMS system. Anybody care to give some advice / pointers?
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:53 birdy247 Think I have found it
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:52 slackebot <birdy247>
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:52 birdy247 Hmmm
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:51 steinkel let me know, the plugin should not be dealing with that AFAIR
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:50 birdy247 to pin this down to the plugin
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:50 birdy247 ill try in my app
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:49 dereuromark also detects nullables etc (made it possible for me to see and remove some of the bad nullables in the db)
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:49 dereuromark tip: use Ide helper to annotate, it will detect the types and make it all visible per entity
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:49 birdy247 its a getRequest
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:48 birdy247 @steinkel know of any reason why my entities would not be using immutable dateTimes
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:48 dereuromark then they might switch the config or manually do sth here
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:48 birdy247 FYI, this is the cakeDC/API that is handling the request
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:48 birdy247 but this was never an issue before
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:47 birdy247 and I can see why
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:47 nayakvradhit Ok sure thank you for your approach
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:47 birdy247 What led me to investigate was something else is broken
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:47 birdy247 I dont believe it was always like this
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:47 dereuromark for me its frozenTime then
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:47 dereuromark interesting
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:45 birdy247 bootstrap
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:45 slackebot <birdy247>
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:45 dereuromark read the docs about the immutable one in bootstrap
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:45 birdy247 It thinks its a time?
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:45 dereuromark bad config :slightly_smiling_face:
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:44 slackebot <birdy247>
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:44 birdy247 gives this
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:43 dereuromark easy to verify using debug() dd() etc
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:42 dereuromark depends on your config, but ideally yes
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:42 birdy247 should the datetime be immutable?
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:42 birdy247 if I am getting an entity with a datetime
# Dec 28th 2018, 10:07 dereuromark :) in these cases it is simplier to work with the input already available. also less issues in validation
