MetadataInterface

interface 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

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.

Constraint[] findConstraints(string $group)

Returns all constraints for a given validation group.
