How to Define the Validation Groups to Use ¶

Validation Groups ¶

If your object takes advantage of validation groups, you'll need to specify which validation group(s) your form should use. Pass this as an option when creating forms in controllers:

1
2
3

$form = $this->createFormBuilder($user, [
    'validation_groups' => ['registration'],
])->add(/* ... */);

When creating forms in classes, add the following to the configureOptions() method:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;

public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver): void
{
    $resolver->setDefaults([
        // ...
        'validation_groups' => ['registration'],
    ]);
}

In both of these cases, only the registration validation group will be used to validate the underlying object. To apply the registration group and all constraints that are not in a group, use:

1

'validation_groups' => ['Default', 'registration']
