MetadataInterface

interface MetadataInterface implements MetadataInterface

A container for validation metadata.

Most importantly, the metadata stores the constraints against which an object and its properties should be validated.

Additionally, the metadata stores whether objects should be validated against their class' metadata and whether traversable objects should be traversed or not.

Methods

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

Implementation of the Visitor design pattern.

from MetadataInterface
Constraint[] findConstraints(string $group)

Returns all constraints for a given validation group.

from MetadataInterface
int getCascadingStrategy()

Returns the strategy for cascading objects.

int getTraversalStrategy()

Returns the strategy for traversing traversable objects.

Constraint[] getConstraints()

Returns all constraints of this element.

Details

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

deprecated

since version 2.5, to be removed in 3.0.

Implementation of the Visitor design pattern.

Calls {@link ValidationVisitorInterface::visit} and then forwards the accept()-call to all property metadata instances.

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

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()

Constraint[] getConstraints()

Returns all constraints of this element.

Return Value
