Does anybody know of a good tutorial on how to implement form validation in a custom module in the Shopware 6 administration? The “how to’s” that I found go into the details of crud actions, but without any reference to validations. As a newbe to Shopware 6 programming, the existing Shopware 6 administration modules unfortunately are a bridge too far at this point in my learning curve ;-)
Thanks for your help!

Hi, could you get a solution for that problem? I run into the same issue

The validation currently pretty sucks.
Anyway just take a look at mapApiErrors and you get the idea.

or better mapPropertyErrors

Don’t forget to add a Required flag within your Entity etc.

Thanks ShapeAndShift,
This brought me one step closer to implementing form validations in the backend. I do wonder though how to tie the validations into an entity’s API. Take customer as an example:
I see a lot of validation factories in [platform/src/Core/Checkout/Customer/Validation at 4bdbc9238e57f6cd3e33fc97a16aaa1e5d19d15a · shopware/platform · GitHub](https://github.com/shopware/platform/tree/4bdbc9238e57f6cd3e33fc97a16aaa1e5d19d15a/src/Core/Checkout/Customer/Validation) which are injected through [platform/customer.xml at 4bdbc9238e57f6cd3e33fc97a16aaa1e5d19d15a · shopware/platform · GitHub](https://github.com/shopware/platform/blob/4bdbc9238e57f6cd3e33fc97a16aaa1e5d19d15a/src/Core/Checkout/DependencyInjection/customer.xml)
(BTW it looks like this has changed from my SW6 developer version, which defines e.g. an account service in customer.xml that mentions a validation factory).
A tutorial that describes what I need to define where in this context as per the latest SW6 programming guidelines would really help!
Thanks, Pieter
