Basic Usage

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

# src/Acme/EventBundle/Resources/config/validation.yml
Acme\EventBundle\Entity\Event:
    properties:
        startsAt:
            - Time: ~

// src/Acme/EventBundle/Entity/Event.php
namespace Acme\EventBundle\Entity;

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class Event
{
    /**
     * @Assert\Time()
     */
     protected $startsAt;
}

<!-- 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>

// 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());
    }
}
