Luhn

New in version 2.2

The Luhn constraint was introduced in Symfony 2.2.

This constraint is used to ensure that a credit card number passes the Luhn algorithm. It is useful as a first step to validating a credit card: before communicating with a payment gateway.

Applies to	property or method
Options	message
Class	Luhn
Validator	LuhnValidator

Basic Usage

To use the Luhn validator, simply apply it to a property on an object that will contain a credit card number.
