Bic

This constraint is used to ensure that a value has the proper format of a Business Identifier Code (BIC). BIC is an internationally agreed means to uniquely identify both financial and non-financial institutions. You may also check that the BIC is associated with a given IBAN.

注釈

As with most of the other constraints, null and empty strings are considered valid values. This is to allow them to be optional values. If the value is mandatory, a common solution is to combine this constraint with NotBlank.

Available Options

groups

type: array | string

It defines the validation group or groups this constraint belongs to. Read more about validation groups.

iban

type: string default: null

An IBAN value to validate that the BIC is associated with it.

ibanMessage

type: string default: This Business Identifier Code (BIC) is not associated with IBAN {{ iban }}.

The default message supplied when the value does not pass the combined BIC/IBAN check.

ibanPropertyPath

type: string default: null

It defines the object property whose value stores the IBAN used to check the BIC with.

For example, if you want to compare the $bic property of some object with regard to the $iban property of the same object, use propertyPath="iban" in the comparison constraint of $bic.

message

type: string default: This is not a valid Business Identifier Code (BIC).

The default message supplied when the value does not pass the BIC check.

You can use the following parameters in this message:

Parameter Description
{{ value }} The current (invalid) BIC value

payload

type: mixed default: null

This option can be used to attach arbitrary domain-specific data to a constraint. The configured payload is not used by the Validator component, but its processing is completely up to you.

For example, you may want to use several error levels to present failed constraints differently in the front-end depending on the severity of the error.
