Access current entity in custom symfony2 constraint validator

Question

Is there a way to access the entity of the property currently being validated in a custom constraint validator, and if so, how? As far as i can see, I only have access to the value (and any services I might choose to inject, of course).

Answer 1

In case if you have property validator, you can also access validated object in Validator through ExecutionContext:

http://api.symfony.com/2.8/Symfony/Component/Validator/Context/ExecutionContextInterface.html#method_getObject

class SomeValidator extends ConstraintValidator
{
    public function validate($value, Constraint $constraint)
    {
        $object = $this->context->getObject();
    }
}

Answer 2

Yes, there is a way. Class constraint validator has an entire entity in scope.
