ElementMetadata deprecated

class ElementMetadata extends GenericMetadata

deprecated

since version 2.5, to be removed in 3.0. Extend {@link GenericMetadata} instead.

Contains the metadata of a structural element.

Properties

Constraint[] $constraints from GenericMetadata
array $constraintsByGroup from GenericMetadata
int $cascadingStrategy The strategy for cascading objects. from GenericMetadata
int $traversalStrategy The strategy for traversing traversable objects. from GenericMetadata

Methods

string[] __sleep()

Returns the names of the properties that should be serialized.

from GenericMetadata
__clone()

Clones this object.

from GenericMetadata
GenericMetadata addConstraint(Constraint $constraint)

Adds a constraint.

from GenericMetadata
GenericMetadata addConstraints(array $constraints)

Adds an list of constraints.

from GenericMetadata
Constraint[] getConstraints()

Returns all constraints of this element.

from GenericMetadata
bool hasConstraints()

Returns whether this element has any constraints.

from GenericMetadata
Constraint[] findConstraints(string $group)

Returns all constraints for a given validation group.

from GenericMetadata
int getCascadingStrategy()

Returns the strategy for cascading objects.

from GenericMetadata
int getTraversalStrategy()

Returns the strategy for traversing traversable objects.

from GenericMetadata
accept(ValidationVisitorInterface $visitor, mixed $value, string|string[] $group, string $propertyPath) deprecated

Exists for compatibility with the deprecated {@link Symfony\Component\Validator\MetadataInterface}.

from GenericMetadata
__construct()

Details

string[] __sleep()

Returns the names of the properties that should be serialized.

Return Value

string[]

__clone()

Clones this object.

GenericMetadata addConstraint(Constraint $constraint)

Adds a constraint.

If the constraint {@link Valid} is added, the cascading strategy will be changed to {@link CascadingStrategy::CASCADE}. Depending on the properties $traverse and $deep of that constraint, the traversal strategy will be set to one of the following:

  • {@link TraversalStrategy::IMPLICIT} if $traverse is enabled and $deep is enabled
  • {@link TraversalStrategy::IMPLICIT} | {@link TraversalStrategy::STOP_RECURSION} if $traverse is enabled, but $deep is disabled
  • {@link TraversalStrategy::NONE} if $traverse is disabled

Parameters

Constraint $constraint The constraint to add

Return Value

GenericMetadata This object

Exceptions

ConstraintDefinitionException When trying to add the {@link Traverse} constraint

GenericMetadata addConstraints(array $constraints)

Adds an list of constraints.

Parameters

array $constraints The constraints to add

Return Value

GenericMetadata This object

Constraint[] getConstraints()

Returns all constraints of this element.

Return Value

Constraint[] A list of Constraint instances

bool hasConstraints()

Returns whether this element has any constraints.

Return Value

bool

Constraint[] findConstraints(string $group)

Returns all constraints for a given validation group.

Parameters

string $group The validation group

Return Value

Constraint[] A list of constraint instances

int getCascadingStrategy()

Returns the strategy for cascading objects.

Return Value

int The cascading strategy

int getTraversalStrategy()

Returns the strategy for traversing traversable objects.

Return Value

int The traversal strategy

accept(ValidationVisitorInterface $visitor, mixed $value, string|string[] $group, string $propertyPath) deprecated

deprecated

since version 2.5, to be removed in 3.0.

Exists for compatibility with the deprecated {@link Symfony\Component\Validator\MetadataInterface}.

Should not be used.

Implemented for backward compatibility with Symfony < 2.5.

Parameters

ValidationVisitorInterface $visitor The visitor implementing the validation logic
mixed $value The value to validate
string|string[] $group The validation group to validate in
string $propertyPath The current property path in the validation graph

Exceptions

BadMethodCallException
