Usage

You can use them as any other Symfony validation:

<?php
namespace App\Entity;


use AssoConnect\ValidatorBundle\Validator\Constraint as AssoConnectAssert

Class User
{
	/**
	 * @AssoConnectAssert\Email()
	 */
	public $email;
}

The EntityValidator sets up default validators for your entity properties based on their Doctrine types. For example,

<?php
namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use AssoConnect\DoctrineValidatorBundle\Validator\Constraint as AssoConnectAssert;

/**
 * @AssoConnectAssert\Entity()
 */
Class BankAccount
{
	/**
	 * @ORM\Column(type="iban")
	 */
	public $iban;
}

is equivalent to this code:

<?php
namespace App\Entity;

use Symfony\Compotent\Validator\Constraint as Assert;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

Class BankAccount
{
	/**
	 * @Assert\Iban()
	 * @Assert\Length(27)
	 * @Assert\NotNull()
	 * @ORM\Column(type="string", length="27")
	 */
	public $iban;
}

Custom constraints

You can use different constraints for a given type. For instance, if you want to use Symfony default email constraint, you have to create your own constraint and validator:

<?php
namespace App\Validator\Constraints;

use AssoConnect\ValidatorBundle\Validator\Constraints\Entity;

Class CustomEntity extends Entity
{}
 

<?php
namespace App\Validator\Constraints;

use AssoConnect\ValidatorBundle\Validator\Constraints\EntityValidator;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Email;

Class CustomEntityValidator extends EntityValidator
{

    protected function getConstraintsForType(string $type) :array
    {
        if ($type === 'email') {
            return [new Email()];
        } else {
            return parent::getConstraintsForType($type);
        }
    }

}
