IsTrue¶

Validates that a value is true. Specifically, this checks to see if the value is exactly true, exactly the integer 1, or exactly the string "1".

Also see IsFalse.

Applies to	property or method
Options	message
Class	`True`
Validator	`TrueValidator`

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:

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

class Author
{
    protected $token;

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

Then you can constrain this method with IsTrue.

Annotations

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

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class Author
{
    protected $token;

    /**
     * @Assert\IsTrue(message = "The token is invalid")
     */
    public function isTokenValid()
    {
        return $this->token == $this->generateToken();
    }
}

YAML

# src/AppBundle/Resources/config/validation.yml
AppBundle\Entity\Author:
    getters:
        tokenValid:
            - 'IsTrue':
                message: The token is invalid.

            </constraint>
        </getter>
    </class>
</constraint-mapping>

PHP

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

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\ClassMetadata;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\IsTrue;

class Author
{
    protected $token;

    public static function loadValidatorMetadata(ClassMetadata $metadata)
    {
        $metadata->addGetterConstraint('tokenValid', new IsTrue(array(
            'message' => 'The token is invalid.',
        )));
    }

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

If the isTokenValid() returns false, the validation will fail.
