Country Field Type

This Field Type represents one or multiple countries.

Name Internal name Expected input
Country ezcountry array

PHP API Field Type

Input expectations

Example array:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
[
    "JP" => [
        "Name" => "Japan",
        "Alpha2" => "JP",
        "Alpha3" => "JPN",
        "IDC" => 81
    ]
];

When you set an array directly on a Content Field you don't need to provide all this information, the Field Type will assume it is a hash and in this case will accept a simplified structure described below under Hash format.

Validation

This Field Type validates whether multiple countries are allowed by the Field definition, and whether the Alpha2 is valid according to the countries configured in Ibexa DXP.

Settings

The Field definition of this Field Type can be configured with one option:

Name Type Default value Description
isMultiple boolean false This setting allows (if true) or prohibits (if false) the selection of multiple countries. 
1
2
3
4
// Country FieldType example settings
$settings = [
    "isMultiple" => true
];

Hash format

The format used for serialization is simpler than the full format. It is also available when setting value on the content Field, by setting the value to an array instead of the Value object. Example of that shown below:

1
2
// Value object content example
$content->fields["countries"] = [ "JP", "NO" ];

The format used by the toHash method is the Alpha2 value, however the input is capable of accepting either Name, Alpha2 or Alpha3 value as shown below in the Value object section.

Value object
