Positive
Validates that a value is a positive number. Zero is neither positive nor negative, so you must use PositiveOrZero if you want to allow zero as value.
Applies to | property or method |
Class | Positive |
Validator | GreaterThanValidator |
Basic Usage
The following constraint ensures that the income
of an Employee
is a
positive number (greater than zero):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
// src/Entity/Employee.php
namespace App\Entity;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
class Employee
{
#[Assert\Positive]
protected $income;
}
1 2 3 4 5
# config/validator/validation.yaml
App\Entity\Employee:
properties:
income:
- Positive: ~
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

// src/Entity/Employee.php
namespace App\Entity;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\ClassMetadata;
class Employee
{
public static function loadValidatorMetadata(ClassMetadata $metadata)
{
$metadata->addPropertyConstraint('income', new Assert\Positive());
}
}
Available Options
groups
type: array
| string
It defines the validation group or groups of this constraint. Read more about validation groups.
message
type: string
default: This value should be positive.
The default message supplied when the value is not greater than zero.
You can use the following parameters in this message:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
{{ compared_value }} |
Always zero |
{{ compared_value_type }} |
The expected value type |
{{ value }} |
The current (invalid) 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.
