GreaterThan¶

New in version 2.3: The GreaterThan constraint was introduced in Symfony 2.3.

Validates that a value is greater than another value, defined in the options. To force that a value is greater than or equal to another value, see GreaterThanOrEqual. To force a value is less than another value, see LessThan.

Basic Usage¶

If you want to ensure that the age of a Person class is greater than 18, you could do the following:

YAML

# src/Acme/SocialBundle/Resources/config/validation.yml
Acme\SocialBundle\Entity\Person:
    properties:
        age:
            - GreaterThan:
                value: 18

Annotations

// src/Acme/SocialBundle/Entity/Person.php
namespace Acme\SocialBundle\Entity;

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class Person
{
    /**
     * @Assert\GreaterThan(
     *     value = 18
     * )
     */
    protected $age;
}

    public static function loadValidatorMetadata(ClassMetadata $metadata)
    {
        $metadata->addPropertyConstraint('age', new Assert\GreaterThan(array(
            'value' => 18,
        )));
    }
}
