Support for annotation based validations for entities

[wowo]

I have validation rules in annotations like @Validation:MinLength(3), but BaseApplication forms don't handle them at all. It's extremaly useful to use this way of validation.

The validation is done by the Validation framework. Nothing to do with this bundle.

So how we must use it ? is there some docs ?

@AHWEBDEV, i have the same problem with unique validation.. had you found any answer?

@p-shad you must use the annotation on the class annotation it self

An example, i use it to force my "page" entity to be unique based on the slug property.

use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Validator\Constraints as DoctrineAssert;

/**
 * @ORM\Table(name="pages")
 * @ORM\Entity
 * @DoctrineAssert\UniqueEntity(fields="slug", message="A page with same slug already exists", groups={"admin"})
 */
class Pages
{
[...]
}

Also when you valid the entity, via a form validator or entity validator, you must specify the group of validation.
In this case, "admin" is the group defined in the annotation.

This doc can be useful. http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/constraints/UniqueEntity.html
Check for your symfony2 version.
