How can I validate array keys using Symfony Validation?
Say I have the following, and each key of the emails
array is an ID. How can I validate them using a callback, or some other constraint (say for example a regex constraint rather than a callback)?
$input = [
'emails' => [
7 => '[email protected]',
12 => '[email protected]',
],
'user' => 'bob',
'amount' => 7,
];
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Validation;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints;
$validator = Validation::createValidator();
$constraint = new Constraints\Collection(array(
'emails' => new Constraints\All(array(
new Constraints\Email(),
)),
'user' => new Constraints\Regex('/[a-z]/i'),
'amount' => new Constraints\Range(['min' => 5, 'max' => 10]),
));
$violations = $validator->validateValue($input, $constraint);
echo $violations;
(using latest dev-master symfony)
I would create a custom validation constraint which applies constraints on each key-value pair (or key only if you want to) in array. Similar to All
constraint, but validation is performed on key-value pair, not value only.
namespace GLS\DemoBundle\Validator\Constraints;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraint;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Exception\ConstraintDefinitionException;
class AssocAll extends Constraint
{
public $constraints = array();
public function __construct($options = null)
{
parent::__construct($options);
if (! is_array($this->constraints)) {
$this->constraints = array($this->constraints);
}
foreach ($this->constraints as $constraint) {
if (!$constraint instanceof Constraint) {
throw new ConstraintDefinitionException('The value ' . $constraint . ' is not an instance of Constraint in constraint ' . __CLASS__);
}
}
}
public function getDefaultOption()
{
return 'constraints';
}
public function getRequiredOptions()
{
return array('constraints');
}
}
Constraint validator, which passes an array with key-value pair to each constraint:
namespace GLS\DemooBundle\Validator\Constraints;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraint;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\ConstraintValidator;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Exception\UnexpectedTypeException;
class AssocAllValidator extends ConstraintValidator
{
public function validate($value, Constraint $constraint)
{
if (null === $value) {
return;
}
if (!is_array($value) && !$value instanceof \Traversable) {
throw new UnexpectedTypeException($value, 'array or Traversable');
}
$walker = $this->context->getGraphWalker();
$group = $this->context->getGroup();
$propertyPath = $this->context->getPropertyPath();
foreach ($value as $key => $element) {
foreach ($constraint->constraints as $constr) {
$walker->walkConstraint($constr, array($key, $element), $group, $propertyPath.'['.$key.']');
}
}
}
}
I guess, only Callback
constraint makes sense to be applied on each key-value pair, where you put your validation logic.
use GLS\DemoBundle\Validator\Constraints\AssocAll;
$validator = Validation::createValidator();
$constraint = new Constraints\Collection(array(
'emails' => new AssocAll(array(
new Constraints\Callback(array(
'methods' => array(function($item, ExecutionContext $context) {
$key = $item[0];
$value = $item[1];
//your validation logic goes here
//...
}
))),
)),
'user' => new Constraints\Regex('/^[a-z]+$/i'),
'amount' => new Constraints\Range(['min' => 5, 'max' => 10]),
));
$violations = $validator->validateValue($input, $constraint);
var_dump($violations);
There is a callback constraint. See http://symfony.com/doc/master/reference/constraints/Callback.html
Update:
I could not find a cleaner way to get the keys of the current value being validated. There probably is a better way, I did not spend too much time on this but it works for your case.
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Context\ExecutionContextInterface;
// ...
$input = array(
'emails' => array(
7 => '[email protected]',
12 => '[email protected]',
),
'user' => 'bob',
'amount' => 7,
);
// inside a sf2 controller: $validator = $this->get('validator.builder')->getValidator();
$validator = Validation::createValidator();
$constraint = new Constraints\Collection(array(
'emails' => new Constraints\All(array(
new Constraints\Email(),
new Constraints\Callback(array('methods' => array(function($value, ExecutionContextInterface $context){
$propertyPath = $context->getPropertyPath();
$valueKey = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/','',$propertyPath);
if($valueKey == 7){
$context->addViolationAt('email', sprintf('E-Mail %s Has Has Key 7',$value), array(), null);
}
})))
)),
'user' => new Constraints\Regex('/[a-z]/i'),
'amount' => new Constraints\Range(array('min' => 5, 'max' => 10)),
));
$violations = $validator->validate($input, $constraint);
echo $violations;
