Available Options

`groups`

type: array | string default: null

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

`message`

type: string default: This value should be either positive or zero.

The default message supplied when the value is not greater than or equal to 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.
