Basic Usage¶

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

YAML

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

Annotations

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

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

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

XML

<!-- src/Acme/EventBundle/Resources/config/validation.xml -->
<class name="Acme\EventBundle\Entity\Event">
    <property name="startsAt">
        <constraint name="Time" />
    </property>
</class>

PHP

// 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());
    }
}
