Overview<\/h2>\n

The MailboxValidator Symfony Email Validation Bundle is an easy to use Symfony package which enables Symfony users to validate emails with just a few lines of code. This package is using the MailboxValidator API to do the validation, therefore you must sign up for the API key. Just go to https:\/\/www.mailboxvalidator.com\/plans#api to sign up for the FREE API plan and you’ll be given an API key.<\/p>\n

Dependencies<\/h2>\n

This bundle requires Symfony 4.3 to work. The MailboxValidator PHP Module is also required and will be auto installed by Composer. In case your Composer did not install it for you, you can get it from here: https:\/\/github.com\/MailboxValidator\/mailboxvalidator-php .<\/p>\n

Installation<\/h2>\n

Once you have the API key, the next step is to install the package by using Composer. Open your terminal, navigate to your project root directory and type the following command:<\/p>\n

composer require mailboxvalidator\/mailboxvalidator-bundle<\/pre>\n
Composer will then install the bundle into your web application. After that, load a .env<\/em> file in your PHP application via Dotenv::load()<\/code>.<\/p>\n
use SymfonyComponentDotenvDotenv;\n\n$dotenv = new Dotenv();\n\n$dotenv->load(__DIR__.'\/.env'); \/\/Your .env file path<\/pre>\n
Then, open your .env<\/em> file and add the following line:<\/p>\n
MBV_API_KEY=PASTE_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE<\/pre>\n
<\/h2>\n
Usage<\/strong><\/h2>\n
To use any one of the three validators or to use all of the validators, include the following lines in any form controllers that handle validations:<\/p>\n
use MailboxValidatorBundleValidatorMBVSingle;\n\nuse MailboxValidatorBundleValidatorMBVDisposable;\n\nuse MailboxValidatorBundleValidatorMBVFree;<\/pre>\n
After that, add a new rule to your form field and edit the error message. For example, if you want to validate the disposable email, your rule will be like this:<\/p>\n
->add('email', EmailType::class, [\n\n    'constraints' => [\n\n        new MBVDisposable([\n\n            \/\/You can also customize your own message. For example,\n\n            \/\/'message' => 'This email is disposable. Please enter another email again.',\n\n        ]),\n\n    ],\n\n])<\/pre>\n
The bundle provides three different validation methods: disposable, single and free. Single Validation<\/strong> will validate the email address based on several factors, such as whether the email address contains high risk keywords or whether the email address is in our blacklist. Disposable Validation<\/strong> will validate whether the email address belongs to a disposable email service provider or not. Free Validation<\/strong> will validate whether the email address belongs to a free email service provider or not.<\/p>\n
Now, you can try to open your form and enter a disposable email address. The validator should return an error message once the submit button is clicked.<\/p>\n
