# src/AppBundle/Resources/config/validation.yml AppBundle\Entity\Author: properties: createdAt: - DateTime: ~
- XML
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
<!-- src/AppBundle/Resources/config/validation.xml --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <constraint-mapping xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/constraint-mapping" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/constraint-mapping http://symfony.com/schema/dic/constraint-mapping/constraint-mapping-1.0.xsd"> <class name="AppBundle\Entity\Author"> <property name="createdAt"> <constraint name="DateTime" /> </property> </class> </constraint-mapping>
- PHP
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
// src/AppBundle/Entity/Author.php namespace AppBundle\Entity; use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\ClassMetadata; use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert; class Author { public static function loadValidatorMetadata(ClassMetadata $metadata) { $metadata->addPropertyConstraint('createdAt', new Assert\DateTime()); } }
Options¶
format¶
type: string
default: Y-m-d H:i:s
New in version 3.1: The format
option was introduced in Symfony 3.1.
This option allows to validate a custom date format. See
DateTime::createFromFormat()
for formatting options.
message¶
type: string
default: This value is not a valid datetime.
This message is shown if the underlying data is not a valid datetime.
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.
