Why my form is not submitted in symfony 4? - forms

My controller acts as if I never click on the submit button.
My controller:
public function listAction(RegionsService $service)
{
$regions = $service->getRegionList();
$editForm = $this->createForm('App\Form\RegionListType');
if ($editForm->isSubmitted())
{
dump('submitted');
die();
}
if ($editForm->isSubmitted() && $editForm->isValid()) {
$task = $editForm->getData();
dump($task);
die();
...
}
return $this->render('parameter/region.list.html.twig', [
'form' => $editForm->createView(),
'regions' => $regions
]);
...
My form :
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder->add('regionsset', TextType::class, array(
'required' => false))
->add('save', SubmitType::class, array(
'attr' => array('class' => 'save')));
}
My view :
{{ form_start(form, {'action' : path('app_region_list')} ) }}
{{ form_widget(form.regionsset, {'attr': {'class': 'foo'}}) }}
{{ form_widget(form.save, { 'label': 'Save' }) }}
{{ form_end(form) }}
When I click on the submit button, the controller never goes into the first test if ($editForm->isSubmitted())
What did I miss ?

You forgot to handle the request in your form. After creating the form, ($editForm), you have to handle the request as follows:
$editForm->handleRequest($request);
After that, the method isSubmitted() will return true.

Try this code. It will resolve the problem.
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
.
.
.
public function listAction(Request $request, RegionsService $service )
{
$regions = $service->getRegionList();
$editForm = $this->createForm('App\Form\RegionListType');
$editForm->handleRequest($request);
if ($editForm->isSubmitted() && $editForm->isValid()) {
$task = $editForm->getData();
dump($task);
die();
...
}
return $this->render('parameter/region.list.html.twig', [
'form' => $editForm->createView(),
'regions' => $regions
]);

Symfony2 Form Splitting in sub forms with css helper

I have large form, i need to split it in multiple form when on mobile view.
Desktop = 1 large form
Mobile = 2-3 smaller form, when i valid the 1 form, then new page 2 form, and so on..
I would like to do it in responsive way NOT sub-domaine like (http://mobile/blah.com)
PS: I want to avoid third party bundle !!
Advice, recommandation, direction anything than can help me
My controller:
public function ownerRegisterAction(Request $request)
{
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$owner = new Owner();
$form = $this->createCreateForm($owner);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid())
{
$password = $this->get('security.password_encoder')
->encodePassword($owner->getOwner(), $owner->getOwner()->getPassword());
$owner->getOwner()->setPassword($password);
$owner->getOwner()->setStatus('owner');
$owner->getOwner()->setIsValid(0);
$em->persist($owner);
$em->flush();
// Login users after registration
$this->get('apx_auth_after_register')->authenticateUser($tenant->getTenant());
$response = $this->forward('PagesBundle:SearchOwner:search', ['owner' => $owner]);
return $response;
}
return $this->render('::form/owner-register.html.twig', array(
'form' => $form->createView()
));
}
My Form Type :

Well, I don't think it is a hard task. Actually it's seems somewhat obvious (at least for me though).
You could to use something like TabView or Accordion-like view. All of this can be achieved by using pure CSS (and maybe Javascript).
As you can see it is not related to Symfony at all. By using CSS + Media-queries I'm sure you can get done the desired UI.
Without mobile subdomain and with css help only
When you use FormBuilder::add() you create an instance of FormType which can be :
the entire form,
a field,
a sub form.
So they all behave the same way.
Then you can easily split your FormType in 3 SubFormTypes :
namespace AppBundle\Form;
/*
* When forms get heavy, it becomes handy to use aliases
* on import use statements since it eases the reading in code
* and reduces the list of imports.
*/
use Type as AppType;
use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\Type as OrmType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type as CoreType;
// An abstract class which all sub form will extend.
abstract class AbstractSubFormType extends AbstractType
{
/*
* We need to add a submit button on the sub form
* which will be only visible on mobile screens.
*
* Then to get help of css class :
* use ".submit-sub_owner { display: 'none'; }" for desktop screens,
* and ".submit-sub_owner { display: 'block'; }" for mobile screens.
*
* Plus we need dynamic hiding of next sub forms from controller :
* use ".sub_owner-next { display: 'none'; }" for mobile screens.
*/
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options = array())
{
$builder->add('submit', CoreType\SubmitType::class,
'attr' => array(
// Needed to target sub owner controller.
'formaction' => $options['sub_action'],
// Hides sub owners submit button on big screens.
'class' => 'submit_sub_owner',
)
));
}
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$subNextNormalizer = function (Options $options, $subNext) {
$hideNextSubOwners = isset($options['sub_next']) && $subNext;
// Sets "attr" option of this sub owner type.
$options['attr']['class'] = $hideNextSubOwners ? 'sub_owner-next' : '';
}
// Allows custom options.
$resolver->setDefaults(array('sub_action' => '', 'sub_next' => false));
// Hides sub owners exept the first stage from main controller.
$resolver->setNormalizer('sub_next', $subNextNormalizer);
}
}
// Stage 1
class SubOwnerOne extends AppType\AbstractSubFormType

->add('room', AppType\NbRoomType::class);
// Call parent to optionnaly add sumbit button

One FormType to wrap them all :

{
public function createForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options = array())

$sub = isset($option['sub_action']) ? $options['sub_action'] : false;
$next = isset($option['sub_next']) ? $options['sub_next'] : false;

'sub_action' => $sub, // get form action from controllers.
))

'sub_action' => $sub,
'sub_next' => $next, // hide sub owners from main controller on mobile screens.
))
->add('final', AppType\SubFormTypeThree::class, array(
'sub_action' => $sub,
'sub_next' => $next,
))
->add('submit', CoreType\SubmitType::class, array(
'attr' => array(
// Allows using ".submit-owner { display: 'none'; }" for mobile screens.
'class' => 'submit-owner',
),
));
}

Alternative use Mobile Detection
There are many php libraries to detect mobile browsers.
For example https://github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect
which provides a bundle for symfony :
https://github.com/suncat2000/MobileDetectBundle
So you can even use a helper in a previous implementation :
$mobileDetector = $this->get('mobile_detect.mobile_detector');
$mobileDetector->isMobile();
$mobileDetector->isTablet()
If you want to split form using responsive way, you should format form output in your view (e.g. TWIG file). Place form parts in separate containers and then use CSS media queries and JS. Good luck!
I did something a few years back in which a passed a 'step' var into the formType which I incremented after each post.
I used an if statement in the formType to build the form depending on the step value.

symfony2 collection form, save to entity

I'm new to Symfony. I want to do collection of forms.
I'm getging something like:
class SkillType extends AbstractType
public function getName()
{
return 'skills_cfg';
}
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('name', 'text', array(
'label' = 'name'
))
->add('name_short', 'text', array(
'label' => 'short name'
));
}
}
And I get a Form where I want to use collection on that form is before:
class AbsType extends AbstractType
{
private $object;
public function __construct($object)
{
$this->object = $object;
}
public function getName()
{
return '';
}
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('row', 'collection', array(
'type' => $this->object,
'allow_add' => true,
'prototype' => true,
))
->add('addMore', 'button', array(
'attr' => array(
'value' => 'add more'
),
))
->add('submit', 'submit', array(
'attr' => array(
'value'=>'save',
),
'label' => 'save'
));
}
}
And in my controller i getting forms like that:
class InstallController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction($configPage, Request $request)
{
$skillForm= $this->createForm(new AbsType(new SkillType()));
$SkillConfig=new SkillsCfg();
if($request->isMethod('POST')) {
$skillForm->handleRequest($request);
if ($skillForm->isValid()) {
$em=$this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist($SkillConfig);
$em->flush();
}
}
return array(
'form' => $skillForm->createView(),
'page' => $configPage
);
}
The entity and view looks like that:
/**
* #var string
*
* #ORM\Column(name="name", type="string", length=30)
*/
private $name;
/**
* #var string
*
* #ORM\Column(name="name_short", type="string", length=10)
*/
private $nameShort;
Of course i get getters and setters.
View:
var emailCount = '{{ form.row|length }}';
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#addMore').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var emailList = jQuery('#fields-list');
// grab the prototype template
var newWidget = emailList.attr('data-prototype');
// replace the "__name__" used in the id and name of the prototype
// with a number that's unique to your emails
// end name attribute looks like name="contact[emails][2]"
newWidget = newWidget.replace(/__name__/g, emailCount);
emailCount++;
// create a new list element and add it to the list
var newLi = jQuery('<li></li>').html(newWidget);
newLi.appendTo(emailList);
});
})
</script>
{% endblock javascripts %}
{% block body %}
{{ form_start(form) }}
<ul id="fields-list"
data-prototype="{{ form_widget(form.row.vars.prototype)|e }}">
{% for newRow in form.row %}
<li>
{{ form_errors(newRow) }}
{{ form_widget(newRow) }}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{{ form_end(form) }}
{% endblock body %}
And I get an error:
An exception occurred while executing 'INSERT INTO skills_cfg (name,
name_short) VALUES (?, ?)' with params [null, null]:
SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'name'
cannot be null
Why does it happen? And how do I solve it?
Change the indexAction like this:
public function indexAction($configPage, Request $request)
{
$em=$this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$skillForm= $this->createForm(new AbsType(new SkillsCfg()));
$skillForm->handleRequest($request);
if ($skillForm->isValid())
{
foreach($form->get('row')->getData() as $row)
{
$em->persist($row);
}
$em->flush();
}
return array(
'form' => $skillForm->createView(),
'page' => $configPage
);
}
If its still not working start debugging. Try to get the data from row and check if this is an array.

Pagination of a Symfony form collection with KnpPaginatorBundle

like in How to handle Symfony form collection with 500+ items i have got a big symfony form collection. In the mentioned thread someone suggests to use pagination for the collection.
How can i paginate such a form collection with the knpPaginatorBundle?
The form type is like this
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder->add('myType', 'collection', array(
'type' => new MyType(),
))
;
}
My controller generates a form with the collection
$form = $this->createForm(new MyFormCollectionType());
and then i'm trying to use the paginator
$paginator = $this->get('knp_paginator');
$pagination = $paginator->paginate(
$form['myType'],
$request->get('page', 1),
10
);
I think i'm using the wrong target for paginate($target), whats the correct target in a symfony form collection?
Example on Symfony3 :
Catalog Controller
// I want to paginate products (my collection)
$products = $catalog->getProducts(); // ArrayCollection
// Pagination
$paginator = $this->get('knp_paginator');
$pagination = $paginator->paginate($products, $request->query->getInt('page', 1), 10);
// build the form with catalog data
$form = $this->createForm(CatalogProductType::class, $catalog, array("pagination" => $pagination));
// [...]
// show page
return $this->render('catalogs/products.html.twig', array(
'catalog' => $catalog,
'form' => $form->createView(),
'pagination' => $pagination
));
Catalog Form (CatalogProductType)
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('products', CollectionType::class, array(
'entry_type' => ProductType::class,
'data' => $options['pagination'],
'allow_add' => true,
'allow_delete' => true,
'prototype' => true,
'label' => false,
'by_reference' => false
))
->add('save', SubmitType::class, array(
'attr' => array('class' => 'button-link save'),
'label' => 'Validate'
))
;
}
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => 'AppBundle\Entity\Catalog',
'pagination' => null // Don't forget this !
));
}
My view (products.html.twig)
<div class="navigation">{{ knp_pagination_render(pagination) }}</div>
{% if pagination.getTotalItemCount > 0 %}
{% for widget in form.products.children %}
{# Refers to a Twig macro #}
{{ _self.prototype_product(widget) }}
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
<div class="error">The is no product in this catalog</div>
{% endif %}
My products collection is now paginated.
Solution:
Query all entities of the collection, paginate these and set the data attribute of the collection to the paginated value.
Controller:
$allEntities = $em->getRepository('MyBundle:Entity')->findAll();
$paginator = $this->get('knp_paginator');
$pagination = $paginator->paginate(
$allEntities,
$request->get('page', 1),
10
);
$form = $this->createForm(new MyFormCollectionType($pagination));
Form type:
private $data;
public function __construct($data) {
$this->data = $data;
}
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder->add('myType', 'collection', array(
'type' => new MyType(),
'data' => $this->data,
))
;
}

Symfony2: EventSubscriber yields Date error

I've added an EventSubscriber to a form class so that a single template can be used for both add and edit of an entity. Before adding the subscriber, a form would not throw an error for either add or edit. After adding the subscriber, the following error occurs on editing when the conditions for adding the dateAdded field are met:
Expected argument of type "\DateTime", "array" given
Otherwise, the EventSubscriber appears to perform as expected.
Subscriber
class AddV2FieldsSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface {
private $factory;
public function __construct(FormFactoryInterface $factory) {
$this->factory = $factory;
}
public static function getSubscribedEvents() {
return array(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA => 'preSetData');
}
public function preSetData(DataEvent $event) {
$data = $event->getData();
$form = $event->getForm();
if (null === $data) {
return;
}
// check if the client object is v1
if (!$data->getId() || $data->getDateAdded()) {
$date = new \DateTime();
$form->add($this->factory->createNamed('dateAdded', 'date', $date, array(
'widget' => 'single_text',
'format' => 'MM/dd/yyyy',
'pattern' => '{{ year }}-{{ month }}-{{ day }}',
'years' => range(Date('Y'), Date('Y') - 5),
'required' => false,
'data' => date_create(),))
);
$form->add($this->factory->createNamed('dob', 'dob_age')
);
$form->add($this->factory->createNamed('sex', 'choice', array(
'choices' => array('Male' => 'Male', 'Female' => 'Female'),
'empty_value' => "Select a gender",
'required' => false))
);
}
}
}
The dateAdded field in its Entity:
/**
* #var \DateTime $dateAdded
*
* #ORM\Column(name="date_added", type="date", nullable=true)
*/
private $dateAdded;
Template snippet
