# Breaking: The validation settings classes of jobs were removed {#breaking-job-validation-settings-classes-removed}

## Description {#description}

The job validation settings are read by the shared settings classes of
**academic_base**, as the persons settings are. The classes and
ViewHelpers **academic_jobs** had for them are removed:

-   `\FGTCLB\AcademicJobs\Loader\AcademicJobsSettingsLoader`
-   `\FGTCLB\AcademicJobs\Registry\AcademicJobsSettingsRegistry`
-   `\FGTCLB\AcademicJobs\ViewHelpers\Validation\FieldTypeFromValidationViewHelper`,
    in a template `j:validation.fieldTypeFromValidation`
-   `\FGTCLB\AcademicJobs\ViewHelpers\Validation\RequiredFromValidationViewHelper`,
    in a template `j:validation.requiredFromValidation`
-   `\FGTCLB\AcademicJobs\Exception\UnknownValidatorException` and
    `\FGTCLB\AcademicJobs\Exception\UnsuitableValidatorException`. The
    job validator throws the classes of the same name in the namespace
    `\FGTCLB\AcademicBase\Settings\Exception`, with the same codes.
-   `\FGTCLB\AcademicJobs\ServiceProvider`, which TYPO3 never loaded.

The view variable `{validations}` of the new job form changed with
them. It held a list of flags per property, and it holds one validation
object per property now, which carries `required`, `readOnly`,
`disabled` and `inputType`.

## Impact {#impact}

A template that calls one of the two ViewHelpers fails to render with an
error about an unknown ViewHelper. A template that reads a flag from
`{validations}` directly reads nothing. PHP code using one of the
classes fails with a class that is not found.

## Affected installations {#affected-installations}

Installations that override a partial of the new job form calling
`j:validation.` (the shipped `Job/Forms/FieldWrapper.html` and
`Job/Forms/Textfield.html` did), and installations with PHP code using
one of the classes. Searching the site package for `j:validation`,
`AcademicJobsSettings` and `\AcademicJobs\Exception` finds them.

## Migration {#migration}

Resolve the validation of a field with the ViewHelper
`validationEnsure` of **academic_base**, and read its
properties:

**Before**

```html
<html xmlns:j="http://typo3.org/ns/FGTCLB/AcademicJobs/ViewHelpers" data-namespace-typo3-fluid="true">
<f:if condition="{j:validation.RequiredFromValidation(validations: element.validations, identifier: element.identifier)}">
    <abbr title="required">*</abbr>
</f:if>
<f:form.textfield
    type="{j:validation.fieldTypeFromValidation(validations: element.validations, identifier: element.identifier)}"
    property="{element.identifier}"
/>
```

**After**

```html
<html xmlns:p="http://typo3.org/ns/FGTCLB/AcademicBase/ViewHelpers" data-namespace-typo3-fluid="true">
<f:variable name="validation" value="{p:validationEnsure(validations: element.validations, identifier: element.identifier)}"/>
<f:if condition="{validation.required}">
    <abbr title="required">*</abbr>
</f:if>
<f:form.textfield
    type="{validation.inputType}"
    property="{element.identifier}"
/>
```

For a field the settings do not configure, `validationEnsure` returns a
validation that is not required and renders a text input.
