Symfony/Validator and Doctrine ORM

To use Symfony/Validator and it's integrations for Doctrine ORM in your nette application install the following packages:

composer require kdyby/validator kdyby/annotations arachne/doctrine symfony/doctrine-bridge

Then add the extensions into your config.neon:

extensions:
    kdyby.annotations: Kdyby\Annotations\DI\AnnotationsExtension
    kdyby.validator: Kdyby\Validator\DI\ValidatorExtension
    arachne.doctrine: Arachne\Doctrine\DI\DoctrineExtension

UniqueEntity constraint

With Arachne/Doctrine you can use the UniqueEntity constraint.

Initializer

Doctrine entities sometimes may not have all properties loaded which is necessary for validation. Arachne/Doctrine adds the DoctrineInitializer to fix this.

Validation on flush

Sometimes it's useful to validate all inserted or updated entities to ensure consistency of the database. You can activate this feature in config.neon:

arachne.doctrine:
    validateOnFlush: true

You can also specify an array of validation groups:

arachne.doctrine:
    validateOnFlush:
        - Default
        - flush
