Question

How I can validate login form BEFORE login_check? It’s important to tell user, that email is invalid, rather then “bad credentials”.

Should i use event listeners? Or simple redirect to login_check in controller action after form validate?

PS. I cannot find any solution or advice for symfony2.1

Answer 1

Just use the Symfony2 email field type:

$builder->add('email', 'email', array(
    'attr' => array(
        'placeholder' => 'Email'),
    'label' => '* Email: '
));
