Reference

Node: ConstraintAndx

Contraint which evaluates to true when all its child constraints evaluate to true.

If only a single constraint is appended, the appended constraint will behave as if it were not preceded by the ConstraintAndX.

Type: constraint

Extends: ConstraintFactory

Inherited methods: andX, orX, fieldIsset, fullTextSearch, same, descendant, child, eq, neq, lt, lte, gt, gte, like

Child Cardinality:
  • 1..* constraint

Node: ConstraintComparison

Constraint which evaluates to true if the dynamic child operand and the static child operand evaluate to true when operated upon by the given operator.

The ConstraintFactory will specify the corresponding operator for each of eq, gte, gt, lte, lt, like, etc.

A dynamic operand is an operand whose value is derived from the persisted object set.

A static operand is a non-changing value, either a literal or a bound property.

Comparisons can only be made one dynamic and one static operand. When comparing the values between joined tables you will need to use the JoinConditionFactory.

Type: constraint

Extends: OperandFactory

Inherited methods: parameter, literal, fullTextSearchScore, length, lowerCase, upperCase, localName, name, field

Child Cardinality:
  • 1..1 operand_dynamic
  • 1..1 operand_static

Node: ConstraintFactory

This factory node provides both leaf and factory nodes all of which return nodes of type constraint.

Type: constraint_factory

Child Cardinality:
  • 1..1 constraint

->andX

And composite constraint:

$qb->where()
  ->andX()
    ->fieldIsset('f.foo')
    ->gt()->field('f.max')->literal(40)->end()
  ->end()
->end();

The andX node allows you to add 1, 2 or many operand nodes. When one operand is added the and is removed, when more than one is added the and operands are nested:

// when adding only a single operand,
$qb->where()->andX()->eq()->field('f.foo')->literal('bar');
// is equivilent to:
$qb->where()->eq()->field('f.foo')->literal('bar');


// when adding more than one,
$qb->where()
  ->andX()
    ->fieldIsset('f.foo')
    ->gt()->field('f.max')->literal(40)->end()
    ->eq()->field('f.zar')->literal('bar')->end()
  ->end()
->end();

// is equivilent to:
$qb->where()
  ->andX()
    ->fieldIsset('f.foo')
    ->andX()
      ->gt()->field('f.max')->literal(40)->end()
