Basic Usage¶

If, for some reason, you wanted to ensure that the firstName property of an Author class exactly equal to null, you could do the following:

Annotations

// src/AppBundle/Entity/Author.php
namespace AppBundle\Entity;

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class Author
{
    /**
     * @Assert\IsNull()
     */
    protected $firstName;
}

YAML

# src/AppBundle/Resources/config/validation.yml
AppBundle\Entity\Author:
    properties:
        firstName:
            - 'IsNull': ~

        <property name="firstName">
            <constraint name="IsNull" />
        </property>
    </class>
</constraint-mapping>

PHP

// src/AppBundle/Entity/Author.php
namespace AppBundle\Entity;

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

class Author
{
    public static function loadValidatorMetadata(ClassMetadata $metadata)
    {
        $metadata->addPropertyConstraint('firstName', Assert\IsNull());
    }
}
