This FieldType supports FloatValueValidator, defining maximal and minimal float value:






Name
Type
Default value
Description


minFloatValue
float
false  / SINCE 5.4.9 =
null

This setting defines the minimum value this Fiel=
dType will allow as input.


maxFloatValue
float
false  /=
 SINCE 5.4.9 null

This setting defines the maximum v=
alue this FieldType will allow as input.






Validator configuration example in PHP

=20
use eZ\Publish\Core\FieldType\Float\Type;
 =20
$contentTypeService =3D $repository->getContentTypeService();
$floatFieldCreateStruct =3D $contentTypeService->newFieldDefinitionCreat=
eStruct( "float", "ezfloat" );
=20
// Accept only numbers between 0.1 and 203.99
$floatFieldCreateStruct->validatorConfiguration =3D array(
    "FileSizeValidator" =3D> array(=09
=09=09"minFloatValue" =3D> 0.1,
=09=09"maxFloatValue" =3D> 203.99
    )
);=20
