ConstraintValidatorFactoryInterface	$validatorFactory
TranslatorInterface	$translator
	$translationDomain
array	$objectInitializers

MetadataFactoryInterface getMetadataFactory()

Returns the factory for metadata instances.

Return Value

MetadataFactoryInterface

The metadata factory.

MetadataInterface getMetadataFor(mixed $value)

Returns the metadata for the given value.

Parameters

mixed

$value

mixed

$value

Some value

Return Value

bool	Whether metadata can be returned for that value

ConstraintViolationListInterface validate(mixed $value, array|null $groups = null, bool $traverse = false, bool $deep = false)

Validates a value.

The accepted values depend on the {@link MetadataFactoryInterface} implementation.

The signature changed with Symfony 2.5 (see {@link Validator\ValidatorInterface::validate()}. This signature will be disabled in Symfony 3.0.

Parameters

mixed	$value	The value to validate
array|null	$groups	The validation groups to validate.
bool	$traverse	Whether to traverse the value if it is traversable.
bool	$deep	Whether to traverse nested traversable values recursively.

Return Value

ConstraintViolationListInterface

A list of constraint violations. If the list is empty, validation succeeded.

ConstraintViolationListInterface validateProperty(mixed $containingValue, string $property, array|null $groups = null)

Validates a property of a value against its current value.

The accepted values depend on the {@link MetadataFactoryInterface} implementation.

Parameters

mixed	$containingValue	The value containing the property.
string	$property	The name of the property to validate.
array|null	$groups	The validation groups to validate.

Return Value

ConstraintViolationListInterface

A list of constraint violations. If the list is empty, validation succeeded.

ConstraintViolationListInterface validatePropertyValue(mixed $containingValue, string $property, string $value, array|null $groups = null)

Validate a property of a value against a potential value.

The accepted values depend on the {@link MetadataFactoryInterface} implementation.

Parameters

mixed	$containingValue	The value containing the property.
string	$property	The name of the property to validate
string	$value	The value to validate against the constraints of the property.
array|null	$groups	The validation groups to validate.

Return Value

ConstraintViolationListInterface

A list of constraint violations. If the list is empty, validation succeeded.

ConstraintViolationListInterface validateValue(mixed $value, Constraint|Constraint[] $constraints, array|null $groups = null)

Validates a value against a constraint or a list of constraints.

Parameters

mixed	$value	The value to validate.
Constraint|Constraint[]	$constraints	The constraint(s) to validate against.
array|null	$groups	The validation groups to validate.

Return Value

ConstraintViolationListInterface

A list of constraint violations. If the list is empty, validation succeeded.
