#How to Validate Products

#Instantiate the validator

The validator is a service, you can fetch it from the container

$validator = $this->getContainer()->get('pim_catalog.validator.product');

The validator that we use for products is quite special, for other objects we use the Symfony classic validator.

The service pim_catalog.validator.product receives Constraints from yaml files (standard Symfony) and also from attributes configuration, to do so we use our own DelegatingClassMetadataFactory.

#Validate the product

Now you can validate your product, all business validations are applied here.

$violations = $validator->validate($product);

In return we get a list of violation errors, a ‘SymfonyComponentValidatorConstraintViolationList’.
