Basic Usage¶

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

Annotations

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

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

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

YAML

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

        </property>
    </class>
</constraint-mapping>

PHP

// src/AppBundle/Entity/Event.php
namespace AppBundle\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());
    }
}
