How to Handle Different Error Levels ¶
Sometimes, you may want to display constraint validation error messages differently based on some rules. For example, you have a registration form for new users where they enter some personal information and choose their authentication credentials. They would have to choose a username and a secure password, but providing bank account information would be optional. Nonetheless, you want to make sure that these optional fields, if entered, are still valid, but display their errors differently.
The process to achieve this behavior consists of two steps:
- Apply different error levels to the validation constraints;検証制約にさまざまなエラー レベルを適用します。
- Customize your error messages depending on the configured error level.構成されたエラー レベルに応じて、エラー メッセージをカスタマイズします。
1. Assigning the Error Level ¶
Use the payload
option to configure the error level for each constraint:
-
Attributes
属性
-
YAML

PHP
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
// src/Entity/User.php
namespace App\Entity;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
class User
{
#[Assert\NotBlank(payload: ['severity' => 'error'])]
protected $username;
#[Assert\NotBlank(payload: ['severity' => 'error'])]
protected $password;
#[Assert\Iban(payload: ['severity' => 'warning'])]
protected $bankAccountNumber;
}

2. Customize the Error Message Template ¶
When validation of the User
object fails, you can retrieve the constraint
that caused a particular failure using the
getConstraint()
method. Each constraint exposes the attached payload as a public property:
1 2 3 4 5 |
// a constraint validation failure, instance of
// Symfony\Component\Validator\ConstraintViolation
$constraintViolation = ...;
$constraint = $constraintViolation->getConstraint();
$severity = $constraint->payload['severity'] ?? null;
|
For example, you can leverage this to customize the form_errors
block
so that the severity is added as an additional HTML class:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
{%- block form_errors -%}
{%- if errors|length > 0 -%}
<ul>
{%- for error in errors -%}
<li class="{{ error.cause.constraint.payload.severity ?? '' }}">{{ error.message }}</li>
{%- endfor -%}
</ul>
{%- endif -%}
{%- endblock form_errors -%}
|
