NotIdenticalTo
NotIdenticalTo¶
Validates that a value is not identical to another value, defined in the options. To force that a value is identical, see IdenticalTo.
Caution
This constraint compares using !==
, so 3
and "3"
are
considered not equal. Use NotEqualTo to
compare with !=
.

Options¶
value¶
type: mixed
[default option]
This option is required. It defines the value to compare to. It can be a string, number or object.
message¶
type: string
default: This value should not be identical to {{ compared_value_type }} {{ compared_value }}.
This is the message that will be shown if the value is not equal.
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.
