Fluent Validator missing SetCollectionValidator() method
c#, fluentvalidation, validation
Solution
I'm late to the party but it was the first hit on Google so I thought it'd help others. It seems the API has changed, you now need to do:
RuleForEach(e => e.PhoneNumbers).SetValidator(new PhoneValidator());
A bit nicer in my opinion.
Problem
I'm new to Fluent Validation and just got the version 5.3 from nu Get yesterday. I'm trying to apply an existing validator (PhoneValidator) to a collection property (ICollection) of a class (Employee). The Fluent Validator documentation says to use: ``` RuleFor(x => x.Orders).SetCollectionValidator(new OrderValidator()); // example usage ``` However the SetCollectionValidator() method is not available on the version I have. Instead there is only SetValidator() which is marked as [deprecated]. I've seen other posts regarding this same situation and have learned that SetCollectionValidator() is an extension method and need to be sure I have FluentValidation imported. I do. What am I missing here? ``` using FluentValidation; using FluentValidation.Validators; public class EmployeeValidator : AbstractValidator<Employee> { public EmployeeValidator() { // SetCollectionValidator doesn't show in intellisense and won't compile RuleFor(e => e.PhoneNumbers).SetCollectionValidator(new PhoneValidator()); } } public class PhoneValidator : AbstractValidator<Phone> { public PhoneValidator() { RuleFor(e => e.Number).Length(10).Matches("^[0-9]$"); } } ```
