Bic

Warning: You are browsing the documentation for Symfony 3.x, which is no longer maintained.

Read the updated version of this page for Symfony 7.2 (the current stable version).

This constraint is used to ensure that a value has the proper format of a Business Identifier Code (BIC). BIC is an internationally agreed means to uniquely identify both financial and non-financial institutions.

Applies to property or method

// src/AppBundle/Entity/Transaction.php
namespace AppBundle\Entity;

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class Transaction
{
    /**
     * @Assert\Bic
     */
    protected $businessIdentifierCode;
}

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

groups

type: array | string

It defines the validation group or groups this constraint belongs to. Read more about validation groups.

message

type: string default: This is not a valid Business Identifier Code (BIC).

The default message supplied when the value does not pass the BIC check.

You can use the following parameters in this message:

Parameter Description
{{ value }} The current (invalid) BIC value

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.
