Validate Embedded
=================

[](#validate-embedded)

This library provides the `Validate` constraint for the [Symfony Validator Component](https://github.com/symfony/validator).

This constraint behaves similar to the built-in `Valid` constraint, but respects the `groups` option. Additionally, it adds an option to specify the validation groups to target on the embedded object(s).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

```
$ composer require fluoresce/validate-embedded
```

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the [installation chapter](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) of the Composer documentation.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

*The following examples assume you are using the full Symfony framework, though this package can be used in any project that has the Symfony Validator Component available*

### Basic Usage

[](#basic-usage)

This example shows an `Author` which has a collection of `Book`s. When validation is run for `group1` on `Author`, it will cascade to all embedded `Book` instances.

The behaviour here is slightly different to the standard `Valid` constraint, as validation of the `Book` instances is run with the default group.
