How to Validate Non-Product Objects¶

To validate an object, we use a classic Symfony Validator with Constraints defined in yaml files.

Use the Validator¶

The validator is a service, you can fetch it from the container.

$validator = $this->getContainer()->get('validator');

When you validate an attribute, a family or another object, all business validations are applied.

$violations = $validator->validate($family);
$violations = $validator->validate($attribute);
// ...

It returns here a list of violation errors, a Symfony\Component\Validator\ConstraintViolationList.

Warning

The validation of a product is a bit different, you should use its own validator, the service alias is pim_catalog.validator.product.
