silverstripe-ajaxuniquetextfield
================================

[](#silverstripe-ajaxuniquetextfield)

[![CI](https://github.com/fullscreeninteractive/silverstripe-ajaxuniquetextfield/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/fullscreeninteractive/silverstripe-ajaxuniquetextfield/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

Provides `AjaxUniqueTextField` with client and server-side uniqueness validation on a `DataObject` field, an HTTP JSON endpoint, and a jQuery Entwine client script (load jQuery and Entwine in your project; the CMS admin already includes them).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe CMS **6.x** (`silverstripe/framework` ^6)
- **PHP** 8.3 or newer

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install with Composer from your project root (the same directory as your site’s `composer.json`):

```
composer require fullscreeninteractive/silverstripe-ajaxuniquetextfield
```

Then rebuild the database manifest so configuration and routes are picked up:

```
vendor/bin/sake dev/build flush=1
```

Or open `/dev/build?flush=1` in the browser while logged in as an administrator.

Exposed module assets are published by the [vendor plugin](https://github.com/silverstripe/vendor-plugin). If JavaScript does not load after an upgrade, run:

```
composer vendor-expose
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use FullscreenInteractive\AjaxUniqueTextField\AjaxUniqueTextField;

$fields->push(
    AjaxUniqueTextField::create('Slug', 'URL segment', $this->Slug)
        ->setRecordClass(MyRecord::class)
        ->setUniqueField('Slug')
        ->setExcludeID($this->ID) // when editing an existing record
        // ->setValidateURL('https://example.com/custom-check') // optional
        // ->setRestrictedRegex('^[a-z0-9-]+$') // optional client-side gate before AJAX
);
```

The constructor matches `TextField`: `name`, `title`, `value`, optional `maxLength`, optional `Form`. Configure the DataObject class and field name with `setRecordClass()` and `setUniqueField()` before the field is rendered or validated.

Development
-----------

[](#development)

- `composer test` — PHPUnit (requires MySQL; see `vendor/silverstripe/framework/tests/bootstrap/environment.php` for defaults).
- `composer phpcs` — PSR-12 via PHP\_CodeSniffer.
- `composer phpstan` — static analysis.
