IsFalse
=======

Validates that a value is ``false``. Specifically, this checks to see if
the value is exactly ``false``, exactly the integer ``0``, or exactly the
string ``'0'``.

Also see :doc:`IsTrue </reference/constraints/IsTrue>`.

Basic Usage
-----------

The ``IsFalse`` constraint can be applied to a property or a "getter" method,
but is most commonly useful in the latter case. For example, suppose that
you want to guarantee that some ``state`` property is *not* in a dynamic
``invalidStates`` array. First, you'd create a "getter" method::

    protected string $state;

    protected array $invalidStates = [];

    public function isStateInvalid(): bool
    {
        return in_array($this->state, $this->invalidStates);
    }

In this case, the underlying object is only valid if the ``isStateInvalid()``
method returns **false**:

        // src/Entity/Author.php
        namespace App\Entity;

        use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

        class Author
        {
            #[Assert\IsFalse(
                message: "You've entered an invalid state."
            )]
            public function isStateInvalid(): bool
            {
                // ...
            }
        }

    .. code-block:: yaml

        # config/validator/validation.yaml
        App\Entity\Author:
            getters:
                stateInvalid:
                    - 'IsFalse':
                        message: You've entered an invalid state.
