Conditional validation of fields based on other field value in Symfony2

问题

So here is the scenario: I have a radio button group. Based on their value, I should or shouldn't validate other three fields (are they blank, do they contain numbers, etc).

Can I pass all these values to a constraint somehow, and compare them there?

Or a callback directly in the controller is a better way to solve this?

Generally, what is the best practice in this case?

回答1:

I suggest you to use a callback validator.

For example, in your entity class:

<?php

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

/**
 * @Assert\Callback(methods={"myValidation"})
 */
class Setting {
    public function myValidation(ExecutionContextInterface $context)
    {
        if (
                $this->getRadioSelection() == '1' // RADIO SELECT EXAMPLE
                &&
                ( // CHECK OTHER PARAMS
                 $this->getFiled1() == null
                )
            )
        {
            $context->addViolation('mandatory params');
        }
       // put some other validation rule here
    }
}

Otherwise you can build your own custom validator as described here.

Let me know you need more info.

Hope this helps.

You need to use validation groups. This allows you to validate an object against only some constraints on that class. More information can be found in the Symfony2 documentation http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/validation.html#validation-groups and also http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/forms.html#validation-groups

In the form, you can define a method called setDefaultOptions, that should look something like this:

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
    // some other code here ...
    $builder->add('SOME_FIELD', 'password', array(
        'constraints' => array(
            new NotBlank(array(
                'message' => 'Password is required',
                'groups' => array('SOME_OTHER_VALIDATION_GROUP'),
            )),
        )
   ))
}

public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
{
    $resolver->setDefaults(array(
        'validation_groups' => function (FormInterface $form) {
            $groups = array('Default');
            $data = $form->getData();

            if ($data['SOME_OTHER_FIELD']) { // then we want password to be required
                $groups[] = 'SOME_OTHER_VALIDATION_GROUP';
            }

            return $groups;
        }
    ));
}

The following link provides a detailed example of how you can make use them http://web.archive.org/web/20161119202935/http://marcjuch.li:80/blog/2013/04/21/how-to-use-validation-groups-in-symfony/.
