OptionEmptyLabelException

The OptionEmptyLabelException is thrown when attempting to build an option without providing a label.

Namespace​

JobMetric\CustomField\Exceptions\OptionEmptyLabelException

Overview​

This exception is thrown when the OptionBuilder attempts to build an option but no label has been set. Options require a label to be displayed to users, so this is a required field.

When This Exception Is Thrown​

This exception is thrown when:

  • Building an option without setting a label
  • The label is an empty string
  • The label was not provided in the option builder chain

Example​

use JobMetric\CustomField\CustomFieldBuilder;
use JobMetric\CustomField\Exceptions\OptionEmptyLabelException;

try {
    $select = CustomFieldBuilder::select()
        ->name('country')
        ->options(function ($opt) {
            // Missing label - will throw exception
            $opt->value('IR')->build();
        })
        ->build();
} catch (OptionEmptyLabelException $e) {
    // Handle the error
    Log::error('Option label is required: ' . $e->getMessage());
}

Correct Usage​

$select = CustomFieldBuilder::select()
    ->name('country')
    ->options(function ($opt) {
        // Label is required
        $opt->label('Iran')->value('IR')->build();
        $opt->label('Germany')->value('DE')->build();
    })
    ->build();
