PropertyMetadata

class PropertyMetadata extends MemberMetadata

Stores all metadata needed for validating a class property.

The value of the property is obtained by directly accessing the property. The property will be accessed by reflection, so the access of private and protected properties is supported.

This class supports serialization and cloning.

Properties

array $constraintsByGroup from GenericMetadata
int $cascadingStrategy The strategy for cascading objects. from GenericMetadata
int $traversalStrategy The strategy for traversing traversable objects. from GenericMetadata
string $class from MemberMetadata
string $name from MemberMetadata
string $property from MemberMetadata

string[] __sleep()

Returns the names of the properties that should be serialized.

Return Value

string[]

in GenericMetadata at line line 97
__clone()

Clones this object.

in MemberMetadata at line line 95
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
