When a form is only partially submitted (for example, in an HTTP PATCH
124127
request), only the constraints from the submitted form fields will be

evaluated.

Constraints At Class Level
131+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
132+
133+
Another possibility is to add the constraints at the class level.
134+
This can be done by setting the ``constraints`` option in the
135+
``configureOptions()`` method::
136+
137+
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextType;
138+
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
139+
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;
140+
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Length;
141+
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\NotBlank;
142+
143+
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options): void
144+
{
145+
$builder
146+
->add('firstName', TextType::class)
147+
->add('lastName', TextType::class);
148+
}
149+
150+
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver): void
151+
{
152+
$constraints = [
153+
'firstName' => new Length(['min' => 3]),
154+
'lastName' => [
155+
new NotBlank(),
156+
new Length(['min' => 3]),
157+
],
158+
];
159+
160+
$resolver->setDefaults([
161+
'data_class' => null,
162+
'constraints' => $constraints,
163+
]);
164+
}
165+
166+
This means you can also do this when using the ``createFormBuilder()`` method
167+
in your controller::
168+
169+
$form = $this->createFormBuilder($defaultData, [
170+
'constraints' => [
171+
'firstName' => new Length(['min' => 3]),
172+
'lastName' => [
173+
new NotBlank(),
174+
new Length(['min' => 3]),
175+
],
176+
],
177+
])
178+
->add('firstName', TextType::class)
179+
->add('lastName', TextType::class)
180+
->getForm();
