I have a contestEntry entity.
It has a number of properties (player Positions) all linking to a fantasyPlayer entity.
On submission of a form i need to check that the different player positions are unique (ie a player has not been put in 2 positions)
Is it possible to use validations for this, as far i can see i can only apply a validation to a property, is there a way to apply validations across the whole entity?

I have a contestHelper class containing various methods, one of them is to check that the selected fantasyPlayers are unique
/**
* Checks to see that the players selected for the squad are unique
* i.e no player/team has been selected twice
*
* @param ContestEntry $contestEntry
*
* @return bool
*/
public function squadPlayersAreUnique( ContestEntry $contestEntry )
{
//checks to see there are no duplicate players in the squad
$playerArray = array(
$contestEntry->getWr1()->getPlayer()->getId(),
$contestEntry->getWr2()->getPlayer()->getId(),
$contestEntry->getRb1()->getPlayer()->getId(),
$contestEntry->getRb2()->getPlayer()->getId(),
$contestEntry->getTe()->getPlayer()->getId(),
$contestEntry->getK()->getPlayer()->getId(),
$contestEntry->getFlex()->getPlayer()->getId(),
$contestEntry->getDef()->getTeam()->getPlayerID()
);
return count( $playerArray ) == count( array_unique( $playerArray ) );
}
My controller is very wrong as i have a call to squadPlayersAreUnique within my validation controller, and no way to redirect properly back to the page.
Is there a way to add this validation to the entire entity itself?
heres my controller in its current state:
/**
* Shows a form for Updating a contestEntry.
*
* @Route("/manageentry/{id}", name="update_contestentry")
* @Template("GameBundle:ContestEntry:update.html.twig")
* @param ContestEntry $contestEntry
* @ParamConverter("contestEntry", class="GameBundle:ContestEntry", options={"id" = "id"})
* @return \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse|\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
*/
public function updateEntryAction( ContestEntry $contestEntry = null )
{
$session = new Session();
$session->start();
// add flash messages
if ( empty( $contestEntry)) {
//$session->getFlashBag()->add('error', 'Sorry, We could not find your contest entry!');
throw $this->createNotFoundException(
'Sorry, We could not find your contest entry!'
);
}
$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
$contestHelper = $this->get( 'contest_helper' );
$contest = $contestEntry->getContest();
$availablePlayers = $contestHelper->getPlayersforContestResult( $contest );
$form = $this->createForm( 'contestEntry', $contestEntry );
$form->handleRequest( $request );
if ($form->isValid()) {
//check there are no duplicate players
if( !$contestHelper->squadPlayersAreUnique( $contestEntry ) ){
//throw new HttpException(500, 'Duplicate players found in your squad!');
$session->getFlashBag()->add('error', 'Duplicate players found in your squad, Please check your entry and try again!');
}
if( !$contestHelper->entryNotOverBudget( $contestEntry) ){
// throw new HttpException(500, 'Not Enough funds to draft selected players!');
$session->getFlashBag()->add('error', 'Not Enough funds to draft selected players, Please check your entry and try again!');
};
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist( $contestEntry );
$em->flush();
$this->addFlash(
'success',
'Contest Entry Updated!!'
);
return $this->redirect( $this->generateUrl( 'list_contestentries' ) );
}
return array(
'contestEntry' => $contestEntry,
'contestForm' => $form->createView(),
'contest' => $contest,
'playerList' => $availablePlayers
);
}
you can add the callback validator on entity level:
