class ConstraintManager

Constraint plugin manager.

Manages validation constraints based upon \Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraint, whereas Symfony constraints are added in manually during construction. Constraint options are passed on as plugin configuration during plugin instantiation.

While core does not prefix constraint plugins, modules have to prefix them with the module name in order to avoid any naming conflicts; for example, a "profile" module would have to prefix any constraints with "Profile".

Constraint plugins may specify data types to which support is limited via the 'type' key of plugin definitions. See \Drupal\Core\Validation\Annotation\Constraint for details.
