How to embed a precharged collection of non-entity forms in symfony2
- by metalvarez
I want to embed a collection of precharged non-entity forms, here is the code, first is the parent form buildForm method.
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) {
$builder->add("example1")->add("example2");
$builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA, function (FormEvent $event) {
/*some logic to do before adding the collection of forms*/
$form->add('aclAccess', 'collection', array(
'type' => new ChildFormType(),
'allow_add' => true,
'mapped' => false,
'data' => /* I dont know how to precharge a collection of non-entity forms*/
));
});
}
now the child form
public function buildForm (FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) {
$builder->add("test1", "text", array("read_only" => true, "data" => "test"));
$builder->->add("test2", "choice", array(
'choices' => array('opt1' => 'Opt1', 'opt2' => 'Opt2'),
'multiple' => true,
'expanded' => true
));
}
so basicly i want to manage those child options in the test2 field as separated forms, each option group will depend on the value of the test1 field, i know this can be done by coding everythin in twig without form classes but i think having form classes its the best practice to run phpunit test, for maintainability, etc ...
