Symfony 2 Validator-如何返回数组

Question

I need the Symfony2 Validator to return an array rather than an object.

So something like this:

$insert = new MyEntity();
$insert->setTest1( 'testtesttest' );
$validator = $this->get('validator');
$errors = $validator->validate($insert);

...would enable this:

$errors[0]['message'] = "The email is not valid"

Just a simple array as parsing the object returned is very difficult.

I understand the validator config, but I just need the Validator to return an array not its usual object.

I'm JSON encoding the result and (a) json_encode struggles with objects + (b) I don't want to return the whole object just a list of errors.

I'm not using the in-built forms, just the raw Validator.

Answer 1

You can loop over the objects to create an array of errors.

$errors = $this->get('validator')->validate( $insert );

$errorArray = array();

foreach($errors as $error)
{
    $errorArray[$error->getPropertyPath()] = $error->getMessage();
}

Answer 2

Validator->validate() returns a object of ConstraintViolationListInterface , which implements the IteratorAggregate interface. Simple foreach over it and construct your desired array out of the ConstraintViolationInterface objects.
