same customize form for edit and create page symfony - forms

Question

I have started to use symfony.
I am facing problem for create and edit form customization.
I have created a entity with crud. Now I want to customize 'create form' new.html.twig and I am doing with
{{ form_start(form) }}
{{ form_errors(form) }}
{{ form_row(form.task) }}
{{ form_row(form.dueDate) }}
{{ form_end(form) }}
My question is for 'edit form': what should I do that I can use the same customized form without duplication?
thanks in advance..

You can set the form action dynamically using a couple of different methods.
First you could pass the action into the template as a variable that is different for each parent template like..
new.html.twig
{{ include('AcmeBundle:Form:_form.html.twig',
{'form': form, 'action': path('create_route') }) }}
edit.html.twig
{{ include('AcmeBundle:Form:_form.html.twig',
{'form': form, 'action': path('edit_route', {'id': form.vars.value.id }) }}
// Or the actual object id if the object has been passed to the template
_form.html.twig
{{ form_start(form, {'action': action }) }}
Or you can check for the presence of an id in your present object and then set the action depending on that. This version does make the template a little less reusable as the action is hardcoded but that would only be an issue if you are planning on having the same form for multiple different pages.
_form.html.twig
{% set action = form.vars.value.id is null
? path('create_route')
: path('edit_route', {'id': form.vars.value.id })
%}
{{ form_start(form, {'action': action }) }}
