Details

in GenericMetadata at line line 85
string[] __sleep()

Returns the names of the properties that should be serialized.

Return Value

string[]

in GenericMetadata at line line 98
__clone()

Clones this object.

in GenericMetadata at line line 131
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

Parameters

array $constraints The constraints to add

Return Value

Return Value

Constraint[] A list of Constraint instances

in GenericMetadata at line line 196
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

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.
