Image
The Image constraint works exactly like the File constraint, except that its mimeTypes and `mimeTypesMessage` options are automatically setup to work for image files specifically.
Additionally, as of Symfony 2.1, it has options so you can validate against the width and height of the image.
See the File constraint for the bulk of the documentation on this constraint.

Basic Usage
This constraint is most commonly used on a property that will be rendered
in a form as a file form type. For example,
suppose you're creating an author form where you can upload a "headshot"
image for the author. In your form, the headshot property would be a
file type. The Author class might look as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
// src/Acme/BlogBundle/Entity/Author.php
namespace Acme\BlogBundle\Entity;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\File;
class Author
{
protected $headshot;
public function setHeadshot(File $file = null)
{
$this->headshot = $file;
}
public function getHeadshot()
{
return $this->headshot;
}
}To guarantee that the headshot File object is a valid image and that
it is between a certain size, add the following:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
# src/Acme/BlogBundle/Resources/config/validation.yml
Acme\BlogBundle\Entity\Author
properties:
headshot:
- Image:
minWidth: 200
maxWidth: 400
minHeight: 200
maxHeight: 400The headshot property is validated to guarantee that it is a real image
and that it is between a certain width and height.
Options
This constraint shares all of its options with the File constraint. It does, however, modify two of the default option values and add several other options.
mimeTypes
type: array or string default: image/*
You can find a list of existing image mime types on the IANA website
mimeTypesMessage
type: string default: This file is not a valid image.
2.1
All of the min/max width/height options are new to Symfony 2.1.
minWidth
type: integer
If set, the width of the image file must be greater than or equal to this value in pixels.
maxWidth
type: integer
If set, the width of the image file must be less than or equal to this value in pixels.
minHeight
type: integer
If set, the height of the image file must be greater than or equal to this value in pixels.
maxHeight
type: integer
If set, the height of the image file must be less than or equal to this value in pixels.
sizeNotDetectedMessage
type: string default: The size of the image could not be detected.
If the system is unable to determine the size of the image, this error will be displayed. This will only occur when at least one of the four size constraint options has been set.
maxWidthMessage
type: string default: The image width is too big ({{ width }}px). Allowed maximum width is {{ max_width }}px.
The error message if the width of the image exceeds maxWidth.
minWidthMessage
type: string default: The image width is too small ({{ width }}px). Minimum width expected is {{ min_width }}px.
The error message if the width of the image is less than minWidth.
maxHeightMessage
type: string default: The image height is too big ({{ height }}px). Allowed maximum height is {{ max_height }}px.
The error message if the height of the image exceeds maxHeight.
minHeightMessage
type: string default: The image height is too small ({{ height }}px). Minimum height expected is {{ min_height }}px.
The error message if the height of the image is less than minHeight.
