class PropertyMetadata extends MemberMetadata

Stores all metadata needed for validating a class property.

The value of the property is obtained by directly accessing the property. The property will be accessed by reflection, so the access of private and protected properties is supported.

This class supports serialization and cloning.

Properties

Constraint[] $constraints from GenericMetadata
array $constraintsByGroup from GenericMetadata
int $cascadingStrategy The strategy for cascading objects. from GenericMetadata
int $traversalStrategy The strategy for traversing traversable objects. from GenericMetadata
$class from MemberMetadata
$name from MemberMetadata
$property from MemberMetadata

Methods

string[]
__sleep()

Returns the names of the properties that should be serialized.

__clone()

Clones this object.

$this
addConstraint(Constraint $constraint)

Adds a constraint.

$this
addConstraints(array $constraints)

Adds an list of constraints.

getConstraints()

Returns all constraints of this element.

bool
hasConstraints()

Returns whether this element has any constraints.

findConstraints(string $group)

Returns all constraints for a given validation group.

int
getCascadingStrategy()

Returns the strategy for cascading objects.

int
getTraversalStrategy()

Returns the strategy for traversing traversable objects.

__construct(string $class, string $name)

No description

string
getName()

Returns the name of the member.

getClassName()

{@inheritdoc}

string
getPropertyName()

Returns the name of the property.

bool
isPublic(object|string $objectOrClassName)

Returns whether this member is public.

bool
isProtected(object|string $objectOrClassName)

Returns whether this member is protected.

bool

Details

string[] __sleep()

Returns the names of the properties that should be serialized.

Return Value

string[]

__clone()

Clones this object.

$this addConstraint(Constraint $constraint)

Adds a constraint.

If the constraint {@link Valid} is added, the cascading strategy will be changed to {@link CascadingStrategy::CASCADE}. Depending on the $traverse property of that constraint, the traversal strategy will be set to one of the following:

  • {@link TraversalStrategy::IMPLICIT} if $traverse is enabled
  • {@link TraversalStrategy::NONE} if $traverse is disabled

Parameters

Constraint $constraint

Return Value

$this

Exceptions

ConstraintDefinitionException When trying to add the {@link Traverse} constraint

$this addConstraints(array $constraints)

Adds an list of constraints.

Parameters

array $constraints The constraints to add

Return Value

$this

Constraint[] getConstraints()

Returns all constraints of this element.

Return Value

Constraint[] A list of Constraint instances

bool hasConstraints()

Returns whether this element has any constraints.

Return Value

bool

Constraint[] findConstraints(string $group)

Returns all constraints for a given validation group.

Parameters

string $group The validation group

Return Value

Constraint[] A list of constraint instances

int getCascadingStrategy()

Returns the strategy for cascading objects.

Return Value

int The cascading strategy

int getTraversalStrategy()

Returns the strategy for traversing traversable objects.

Return Value

int The traversal strategy

__construct(string $class, string $name)

Parameters

string $class The name of the class this member is defined on
string $name The name of the member

Exceptions

ValidatorException

string getName()

Returns the name of the member.

Return Value

string

getClassName()

{@inheritdoc}

string getPropertyName()

Returns the name of the property.

Return Value

string The property name

bool isPublic(object|string $objectOrClassName)

Returns whether this member is public.

Parameters

object|string $objectOrClassName The object or the class name

Return Value

bool isProtected(object|string $objectOrClassName)

Returns whether this member is protected.

Parameters

Return Value

bool

bool isPrivate(object|string $objectOrClassName)

Returns whether this member is private.

Parameters

object|string $objectOrClassName The object or the class name

Return Value

bool

ReflectionMethod|ReflectionProperty getReflectionMember(object|string $objectOrClassName)

Returns the reflection instance for accessing the member's value.

Parameters

Return Value

ReflectionMethod|ReflectionProperty The reflection instance

protected ReflectionMethod|ReflectionProperty newReflectionMember(object|string $objectOrClassName)

Creates a new reflection instance for accessing the member's value.

Must be implemented by subclasses.

Parameters

object|string $objectOrClassName The object or the class name

Return Value

ReflectionMethod|ReflectionProperty The reflection instance

mixed getPropertyValue($object)

Extracts the value of the property from the given container.

Parameters
