Basic Usage

If you want to ensure that the age of a Person class is less than 80, you could do the following:

  • YAML
    # src/Acme/SocialBundle/Resources/config/validation.yml
    Acme\SocialBundle\Entity\Person:
        properties:
            age:
                - LessThan:
                    value: 80
    
  • Annotations
    // src/Acme/SocialBundle/Entity/Person.php
    namespace Acme\SocialBundle\Entity;
    
    use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
    
    class Person
    {
        /**
         * @Assert\LessThan(
         *     value = 80
         * )
         */
        protected $age;
    }
    
  • XML
    <!-- src/Acme/SocialBundle/Resources/config/validation.xml -->
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <constraint-mapping xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/constraint-mapping"

        xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/constraint-mapping http://symfony.com/schema/dic/constraint-mapping/constraint-mapping-1.0.xsd">
    
        <class name="Acme\SocialBundle\Entity\Person">
            <property name="age">
                <constraint name="LessThan">
                    <option name="value">80</option>
                </constraint>
            </property>
        </class>
    </constraint-mapping>
    
  • PHP
    // src/Acme/SocialBundle/Entity/Person.php
    namespace Acme\SocialBundle\Entity;
    
    use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\ClassMetadata;
    use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
    
    class Person
    {
        public static function loadValidatorMetadata(ClassMetadata $metadata)
        {
            $metadata->addPropertyConstraint('age', new Assert\LessThan(array(
                'value' => 80,
            )));
        }
    }
