Url
Validates that a value is a valid URL string.
| Applies to | property or method |
| Options | |
| Class | Url |
| Validator | UrlValidator |
Basic Usage
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
// src/AppBundle/Entity/Author.php
namespace AppBundle\Entity;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
class Author
{
/**
* @Assert\Url
*/
protected $bioUrl;
}Note
As with most of the other constraints, null and empty strings are
considered valid values. This is to allow them to be optional values.
If the value is mandatory, a common solution is to combine this constraint
with NotBlank.
Options
message
type: string default: This value is not a valid URL.
This message is shown if the URL is invalid.
You can use the following parameters in this message:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
{{ value }} |
The current (invalid) value |
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
// src/AppBundle/Entity/Author.php
namespace AppBundle\Entity;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
class Author
{
/**
* @Assert\Url(
* message = "The url '{{ value }}' is not a valid url",
* )
*/
protected $bioUrl;
}protocols
type: array default: array('http', 'https')
The protocols considered to be valid for the URL. For example, if you also consider
the ftp:// type URLs to be valid, redefine the protocols array, listing
http, https, and also ftp.

// src/AppBundle/Entity/Author.php
namespace AppBundle\Entity;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
class Author
{
/**
* @Assert\Url(
* protocols = {"http", "https", "ftp"}
* )
*/
protected $bioUrl;
}payload
type: mixed default: null
This option can be used to attach arbitrary domain-specific data to a constraint. The configured payload is not used by the Validator component, but its processing is completely up to you.
For example, you may want to use several error levels to present failed constraints differently in the front-end depending on the severity of the error.
checkDNS
2.7
The checkDNS option was introduced in Symfony 2.7.
type: boolean default: false
By default, this constraint just validates the syntax of the given URL. If you
also need to check whether the associated host exists, set the checkDNS
option to true:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
// src/AppBundle/Entity/Author.php
namespace AppBundle\Entity;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
class Author
{
/**
* @Assert\Url(
* checkDNS = true
* )
*/
protected $bioUrl;
}This option uses the checkdnsrr PHP function to check the validity
of the ANY DNS record corresponding to the host associated with the given URL.
dnsMessage
2.7
The dnsMessage option was introduced in Symfony 2.7.
type: string default: The host could not be resolved.
This message is shown when the checkDNS option is set to true and the
DNS check failed.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
// src/AppBundle/Entity/Author.php
namespace AppBundle\Entity;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
class Author
{
/**
* @Assert\Url(
* dnsMessage = "The host '{{ value }}' could not be resolved."
* )
*/
protected $bioUrl;
}
