Range¶

Validates that a given number is between some minimum and maximum number.

New in version 2.1: The Range constraint was added in Symfony 2.1.

Applies to	property or method
Options	min max minMessage maxMessage invalidMessage
Class	`Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Range`
Validator	`Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\RangeValidator`

Basic Usage¶

To verify that the “height” field of a class is between “120” and “180”, you might add the following:

YAML

# src/Acme/EventBundle/Resources/config/validation.yml
Acme\EventBundle\Entity\Participant:
    properties:
        height:
            - Range:
                min: 120
                max: 180
                minMessage: You must be at least 120cm tall to enter
                maxMessage: You cannot be taller than 180cm to enter

Annotations

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

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class Participant
{
    /**
     * @Assert\Range(
     *      min = 120,
     *      max = 180,
     *      minMessage = "You must be at least 120cm tall to enter",
     *      maxMessage = "You cannot be taller than 180cm to enter"
     * )
     */
     protected $height;
}

XML

<!-- src/Acme/EventBundle/Resources/config/validation.xml -->
<class name="Acme\EventBundle\Entity\Participant">
    <property name="height">
        <constraint name="Range">
            <option name="min">120</option>
            <option name="max">180</option>
            <option name="minMessage">You must be at least 120cm tall to enter</option>
            <option name="maxMessage">You cannot be taller than 180cm to enter</option>
        </constraint>
    </property>
</class>

PHP

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

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\ClassMetadata;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class Participant
{
    public static function loadValidatorMetadata(ClassMetadata $metadata)
    {
        $metadata->addPropertyConstraint('height', new Assert\Range(array(
            'min'        => 120,
            'max'        => 180,
            'minMessage' => 'You must be at least 120cm tall to enter',
            'maxMessage' => 'You cannot be taller than 180cm to enter',
        )));
    }
}

Options¶

min¶

type: integer [default option]

This required option is the “min” value. Validation will fail if the given value is less than this min value.

max¶

type: integer [default option]

This required option is the “max” value. Validation will fail if the given value is greater than this max value.

minMessage¶

type: string default: This value should be {{ limit }} or more.

The message that will be shown if the underlying value is less than the min option.

maxMessage¶

type: string default: This value should be {{ limit }} or less.

The message that will be shown if the underlying value is more than the max option.

invalidMessage¶

type: string default: This value should be a valid number.

The message that will be shown if the underlying value is not a number (per the is_numeric PHP function).
