From Symfony 6.2 you can also use When validator.

https://symfony.com/doc/6.2/reference/constraints/When.html

Example usage

use SecIT\ValidationBundle\Validator\Constraints as SecITAssert;

// ...

#[SecITAssert\NotBlankIf("this.isSuperUser")]
private ?string $email = null;

public function isSuperUser(): bool
{
    return true;
}

Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
expressionstringempty arrayThe expression that will be evaluated. If the expression evaluates to a false value (using ==, not ===), not blank validation won't be performed)
valuesarrayempty arrayThe values of the custom variables used in the expression. Values can be of any type (numeric, boolean, strings, null, etc.)

FileExtension

This validator checks if file has valid file extension.

From Symfony 6.2 you can also use the "extensions" option in File validator.

https://symfony.com/doc/6.2/reference/constraints/File.html#extensions

Example usage

use SecIT\ValidationBundle\Validator\Constraints as SecITAssert;

// ...

#[SecITAssert\FileExtension(["jpg", "jpeg", "png"])]
private $file;
use SecIT\ValidationBundle\Validator\Constraints as SecITAssert;

// ...

#[SecITAssert\FileExtension(disallowedExtensions: ["jpg", "jpeg", "png"])]
private $file;

Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription

use SecIT\ValidationBundle\Validator\Constraints as SecITAssert;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

// ...

#[Assert\Image(maxSize: '2M', mimeTypes: ["image/jpg", "image/jpeg", "image/png"])]
#[SecITAssert\FileExtension(validExtensions: ["jpg", "jpeg", "png"])]
private $file;

customNormalizationFunctionnull or callablenullCustom normalization function
use SecIT\ValidationBundle\Validator\Constraints as SecITAssert;

// ...

#[SecITAssert\CollectionOfUniqueElements()]
private $collection;

This validator can also be used to validate unique files upload.

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Form;

use SecIT\ValidationBundle\Validator\Constraints\CollectionOfUniqueElements;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\CollectionType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\FileType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;

class ExampleType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder->add('files', CollectionType::class, [
            'entry_type' => FileType::class,
            'allow_add' => true,
            'constraints' => [
                new CollectionOfUniqueElements(),
            ],
        ]);
    }
}

use SecIT\ValidationBundle\Validator\Constraints as SecITAssert;

// ...

#[SecITAssert\AntiXss()]
private $text;

NaiveNoHtml

Perform very naive check if text contains HTML.

use SecIT\ValidationBundle\Validator\Constraints as SecITAssert;

// ...

#[SecITAssert\NaiveNoHtml()]
private $text;

Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
strongValidationbooltrue (recommended)Enable/disable strong validation. Disable if you'd like to allow strings with unclosed tags such as "I <3 You".

BurnerEmail

Checks if email address is a throw away email addresses (burner email). This check is perform against the list provided by wesbos/burner-email-providers. You need to install this package manually (composer require wesbos/burner-email-providers) if you'd like to use this validator.

use SecIT\ValidationBundle\Validator\Constraints as SecITAssert;

// ...

#[SecITAssert\BurnerEmail()]
private $email;

ClamAvScanFile

Scans file for infection using ClamAV. The check is made using the bundle sineflow/clamav. You need to install and configure this package manually if you'd like to use this validator.

You can find test files here https://github.com/fire1ce/eicar-standard-antivirus-test-files/tree/master.

The validator will not work if the PrivateTmp is set to true because the temp file path in php will differ from the real system temp file path so the clamscan will not find the file to scan!

use SecIT\ValidationBundle\Validator\Constraints as SecITAssert;

// ...

#[SecITAssert\ClamAvScanFile()]
private \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\File $file;
