$this 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 $traverse property of that constraint, the traversal strategy will be set to one of the following:

• {@link TraversalStrategy::IMPLICIT} if $traverse is enabled
• {@link TraversalStrategy::NONE} if $traverse is disabled

Parameters

Constraint

$constraint

Return Value

$this

Exceptions

ConstraintDefinitionException

$this addConstraints(array $constraints)

Adds an list of constraints.

Parameters

array

$constraints

The constraints to add

Return Value

$this

Return Value

Constraint[]

A list of Constraint instances

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

Return Value

Constraint[]

A list of constraint instances

int getCascadingStrategy()

Returns the strategy for cascading objects.

Return Value

int	The cascading strategy

int getTraversalStrategy()

Returns the strategy for traversing traversable objects.

Return Value
