Basic Usage

Suppose you have an Event class, with a startAt field that is the time of the day when the event starts:

  • YAML
    # src/Acme/EventBundle/Resources/config/validation.yml
    Acme\EventBundle\Entity\Event:
        properties:
            startsAt:
                - Time: ~
    
  • Annotations
    // src/Acme/EventBundle/Entity/Event.php
    namespace Acme\EventBundle\Entity;
    
    use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
    
    class Event
    {
        /**
         * @Assert\Time()
         */
         protected $startsAt;
    }
    
  • XML
    <!-- src/Acme/EventBundle/Resources/config/validation.xml -->
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <constraint-mapping xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/constraint-mapping"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/constraint-mapping http://symfony.com/schema/dic/constraint-mapping/constraint-mapping-1.0.xsd">
    
        <class name="Acme\EventBundle\Entity\Event">
            <property name="startsAt">
                <constraint name="Time" />
            </property>
        </class>
    </constraint-mapping>
    
  • PHP
    // src/Acme/EventBundle/Entity/Event.php
    namespace Acme\EventBundle\Entity;
    
    use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\ClassMetadata;
    use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
    
    class Event
    {
        public static function loadValidatorMetadata(ClassMetadata $metadata)
        {
            $metadata->addPropertyConstraint('startsAt', new Assert\Time());
        }
    }
