Hi, Thomas!
You understood this section of manual completely wrong. This is not
about adding validation to getters. This is about _using getters_ like
validation rules. For example adding constraint (true ===
$user->isPasswordLegal()) to validation with custom error message (The
password cannot match your first name)
So isPasswordLegal() function really returns boolean true (return
($this->firstName != $this->password)). And we ensure this function
returns true here:
# src/Acme/BlogBundle/Resources/config/validation.yml
Acme\BlogBundle\Entity\Author:
getters:
passwordLegal:
- "True": { message: "The password cannot match your first name" }
