Also see False.

Basic Usage

This constraint can be applied to properties (e.g. a termsAccepted property on a registration model) or to a "getter" method. It's most powerful in the latter case, where you can assert that a method returns a true value. For example, suppose you have the following method:

        1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
        // src/Acme/BlogBundle/Entity/Author.php
namespace Acme\BlogBundle\Entity;

class Author
{
    protected $token;

    public function isTokenValid()
    {
        return $this->token == $this->generateToken();
    }
}
    

Then you can constrain this method with True.
