Since Yii2 version 2.0.4 there is the EachValidator used to validate each item in an array. [ // ... other rules ['userIDs', 'each', 'rule' => ['integer']], ] The ['integer'] part can be every other validator object that Yii2 offers and can hold the specific arguments for the valid...

System.assert can be used to check that a boolean expression evaluates to true: System.assert(Service.isActive()); System.assert(!Service.getItems().isEmpty(), 'items should not be empty'); System.assertEquals and System.assertNotEquals can be used to check equality of two values. The expected ...

In Object Oriented Design, objects receive messages and reply to them. In Ruby, sending a message is calling a method and result of that method is the reply. In Ruby message passing is dynamic. When a message arrives rather than knowing exactly how to reply to it Ruby uses a predefined set of rules...

Ruby moves up on ancestors chain of an object. This chain can contain both modules and classes. Same rules about moving up the chain apply to modules as well. class Example end module Prepended def initialize *args return super :default if args.empty? super end end module Fi...

Prior to Json.NET 4.5 dates were written using the Microsoft format: "/Date(1198908717056)/". If your server sends date in this format you can use the below code to serialize it to NSDate: Objective-C (NSDate*) getDateFromJSON:(NSString *)dateString { // Expect date in this format ...

This can be used in various chat applications, rss feeds, and social apps where you need to have latest feeds with timestamps: Objective-C - (NSString *)getHistoricTimeText:(NSDate *)since { NSString *str; NSTimeInterval interval = [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSinceDate:since]; if(in...

Using a file Swift let data = NSData(contentsOfFile: filePath) //assuming filePath is a valid path Objective-C NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath]; //assuming filePath is a valid path Using a String object Swift let data = (string as NSString).dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8S...

To String Swift let string = String(NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)) //assuming data is a valid NSData object Objective-C NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; //assuming data is a valid NSData object [string release]; T...

void methods can be stubbed using the doThrow(), doAnswer(), doNothing(), doCallRealMethod() family of methods. Runnable mock = mock(Runnable.class); doThrow(new UnsupportedOperationException()).when(mock).run(); mock.run(); // throws the UnsupportedOperationException Note thatvoid methods...

This class is called Greeter. Its responsibility is to output a greeting. It has two dependencies. It needs something that will give it the greeting to output, and then it needs a way to output that greeting. Those dependencies are both described as interfaces, IGreetingProvider and IGreetingWriter....

This builds on the previous example of the Greeter class which has two dependencies, IGreetingProvider and IGreetingWriter. The actual implementation of IGreetingProvider might retrieve a string from an API call or a database. The implementation of IGreetingWriter might display the greeting in the ...

Dependency injection means writing classes so that they do not control their dependencies - instead, their dependencies are provided to them ("injected.") This is not the same thing as using a dependency injection framework (often called a "DI container", "IoC container&quo...

Unnamed struct is allowed (type has no name) void foo() { struct /* No name */ { float x; float y; } point; point.x = 42; } or struct Circle { struct /* No name */ { float x; float y; } center; // but a member name float...

Name binding is a concept that allows to say to a JAX-RS runtime that a specific filter or interceptor will be executed only for a specific resource method. When a filter or an interceptor is limited only to a specific resource method we say that it is name-bound. Filters and interceptors that do no...

var bufferBlock = new BufferBlock<int>(new DataflowBlockOptions { BoundedCapacity = 1000 }); var cancellationToken = new CancellationTokenSource(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)).Token; var producerTask = Task.Run(async () => { var random = new Random(); while (!cancellati...

In order to load the XML data with XOM you will need to make a Builder from which you can build it into a Document. Builder builder = new Builder(); Document doc = builder.build(file); To get the root element, the highest parent in the xml file, you need to use the getRootElement() on the Doc...

The @switch annotation tells the compiler that the match statement can be replaced with a single tableswitch instruction at the bytecode level. This is a minor optimization that can remove unnecessary comparisons and variable loads during runtime. The @switch annotation works only for matches again...

You can use 5 properties on each layer to configure your shadows: shadowOffset - this property moves your shadow left/right or up/down self.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(-1, -1); // 1px left and up self.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(1, 1); // 1px down and right shadowColor - this s...
