Symfony 3 : How to Embed a Collection of Forms - after submit I only have one element in the array instead of many - symfony

Hello guys,
On Symfony 3 :
I tried to follow the requirements of "How to Embed a Collection of Forms" from Symfony 3 Documentation. It works for a defined list as they propose first. But when I try the next step: Allowing new Tags with the Prototype, it only returns my last embed Form.
So I know that my Entity works, aswell as the EntityType. The error must be on the Twig.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Expected result : a collection containing all the embed Forms.
Actually it only returns the last element in the embed Form. I did check on the Entity and it doesn't use the "add" method that I did add to the entity.
here the add part of ReservationType builder:
->add('spectateurs', CollectionType::class, [
'entry_type' => SpectateurReservationType::class,
'entry_options' => ['label' => false],
'allow_add' => true,
'allow_delete' => true,
'prototype' => true,
'by_reference' => false,
] .
) .

)
You just have commented a part of JS code
newForm = newForm.replace(/__name__/g, index);
Uncomment this and anything would be nice

my line was:
newForm = newForm.replace(/name__label/g, 'Spectateur n° '+ index);
My mistake was, I thought I could change this as a textlabel:
Great it only was this! many thanks, you save me! Now it works perfectly!

Symfony render controller

want to display a form in a modal in the header. In order to make the form work I call the controller Homecontroller.
I called the controller with render controller in the branch but I got a blank page.
Thanks for your help.
header.html.Twig
<h1 class="fw-bold"></h1>
<p class="lead fw-bold"></p>
{{include ('fragments/modal_form.html.twig') }}
</main>
</div>
</div>
modal_form.html.twig
{{ render(controller(
'App\\Controller\\HomeController::index',{'form' : form.createForm()} )) }}
</div>
Controller :
* #Route("/", name="home")
*/
public function index(PostsRepository $postsRepository,TagRepository $tagRepository, Request $request ):Response
{
$listTag = $tagRepository->findAll();
$listPost = $postsRepository->findByPostPHp('php');
$posts = $postsRepository->findByExampleField($value = 6);
$partage = New Posts();
$form = $this->createForm(PartagePostType::class);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
$partage = $form->getData();
$this->entityManager->persist($partage);
$this->entityManager->flush();
$this->addFlash('success', 'Votre post a bien été partagé');
}
return $this->render('home/index.html.twig', [
'posts' => $posts,
'tag' => $listTag,
'listPost' => $listPost,
'form' => $form->createView(),
]);
}
I dont' really get how you are trying to render you form but it doesn't work that way, in your modal_form.html.twig you should use the {{ form_start() }} and {{ form_end() }} twig helpers. They take in parameters the created view of the form, i.e, the variable "form" in your case (created in your render with the createView() method).
It should look like that:
{{ form_start(form}}
{{ form_row(form.field) }}
<input type="submit" value="submit">
{{ form_end(form) }}
"field" is whatever name you defined in your FormType. Notice how I added raw HTML for the submit button, it is suggested by Symfony you add the send button that way, even though you can add it in your FormType.
You can learn more about form rendering here : How to Customize Form Rendering
And forms in general there : Forms
Last thing, if you want to use multiple forms with this modal, don't forget to change the name of the variable (also don't forget to add this variable in your controller when you render a template with a form in it, obviously)

Symfony Form Builder: How to dynamically add Fields to a Poll

I created a Symfony Poll-Bundle which has the Entitys Campaign->Block->Line->Field->PollResult.
So i have a CollectionType CampaignType which consists of many blocks.
One block consist of many Lines.
One Line consist of many Fields.
(One Line is for example the line for fever and the fields are for intensity, and the period from and due the fever occured)
And every Field has one PollResult which holds the Answer of the user who filled out the campaign.
Now i want to make the user to be able to add new Fields to a line to enter a second fever period for example.
So i need a 'Add a Line'-Button for every Line that duplicates this line.
I used this documentation to do that.
First i added 'allow_add' => true to my LineType FormBuilder:
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder->add('userAddFlag');
$builder->add('fields', CollectionType::class, array(
'entry_type' => FieldType::class,
'entry_options' => array('label' => false),
'allow_add' => true,
));
}
Then i added this to my view with the data-prototype:
<ul class="fields" data-prototype=" {{ form_widget(line.fields.vars.prototype)|e('html_attr') }} ">
<li>
{% for field in line.fields %}
<div>
{% for pollResult in field.pollResults %}
<div class="formLabelDiv">{{ field.vars.value.getTranslationName(app.request.getLocale()) }}</div>
<div class="formWidgetDiv">{{ form_widget(pollResult) }}</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endfor %}
</li>
</ul>
And last i added this jQuery code:
<script>
var $collectionHolder;
//setup an "add a Line" Link
var $addLineButton = $('<button type="button" class="add_line_link">Add a Line</button>');
var $newLinkLi = $('<li></li>').append($addLineButton);
jQuery(document).ready(function (){
//Get the ul that holds the collection of fields
$collectionHolder = $('ul.fields');
//add the "add a line" anchor and li to the tags ul
$collectionHolder.append($newLinkLi);
//count the current form inputs we have, use that as the new index when inserting a new item
$collectionHolder.data('index', $collectionHolder.find(':input').length);
$addLineButton.on('click', function (e){
addFieldsForm($collectionHolder, $newLinkLi);
})
})
function addFieldsForm($collectionHolder, $newLinkLi){
//get the data-prototyp
var prototype = $collectionHolder.data('prototype');
//get the new index
var index = $collectionHolder.data('index');
var newForm = prototype;
$collectionHolder.data('index', index+1);
// Display the form in the page in an li, before the "Add a tag" link li
var $newFormLi = $('<li></li>').append(newForm);
$newLinkLi.before($newFormLi);
}
</script>
So now the 'Add a Line'-Button appears on the page, but it doesn't add anything..
How can i add a new field and how am i able to duplicate the whole line and not only add one Field to the added line (I want to have the three fields intensity(dropdown), from and due(both textfield with datepicker))
Try adding 'by_reference' => false, to the LineType.php

Symfony - pass custom data from Form Builder to form theme

I would like to set a special div surrounding a bunch of my fields. For that I want to add something to the form builder that I could detect in my form_theme, and set the div when it's there.
I tried to add
->add('field', new myCustomType(), array('inherit_data' => true, "label" => false, "required" => false, 'attr' => array("test" => "aaa")))
to the form builder, setting an custom attr, it's actually rendered in the html as an attribute... But I'm unable to detect it in the form theme.
{{ block('widget_container_attributes') }}
Only gives the widget attributes, and
{{ block('row_container_attributes') }}
doesn't work. I actually have a hard time finding any source online about what variables are available in the blocks of the form theme and how to use them (it was already difficult to know how to call blocks).
I looked for some more information on the official site, here mostly but without any success...
Thanks ahead for any help !
If you put it in your form builder, then you might as well permanently set in your template. If there is some logic required to set the data, then that belongs in your controller anyway, so just put it there to start with.
Controller:
public function someAction()
{
// ....
return $this->render('some_twig_template.twig.html', array(
'attr' => array("test" => "aaa")
);
}
Then in your twig template
{{ dump(attr) }}
{{ dump(attr.test) }}
EDIT:
To render in your template every time, you can set a class on the rendered field directly:
{{ form_label(form.field, 'My label', { 'label_attr': {'class': 'js-hidden-row'} }) }}
{{ form_widget(form.field, { 'attr': {'class': 'js-hidden-row'} }) }}
Then in my javascript you can hide with some simple jQuery:
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$('.js-hidden-row').hide();
});
</script>

twig automatic convert string to day

I want to convert a string value to day by tapping in a widget, e.g. 24 → 1
{% block convert_day %}
<td>{{ form_widget(form['crush']) }}</td>
<td><!-- displaying my value in day --></td>
{% endblock %}
No It doesn't work !
To be more clear ,I want to do something like that but just display number of days : http://www.convertworld.com/en/time/Days.html
{{ hourValue / 24 }}
Or, if you want to round the value to two decimal places:
{{ hourValue / 24 | number_format(2, ".", ",") }}
Documentation:
http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/templates.html#math
http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/filters/number_format.html
edit
Alternatively, you can put the precision into the form instance itself. When you create your form, you're probably doing something like this in your controller (or if the form has its own class, you're doing something similar in the buildForm() method of that class):
$form = $this->createFormBuilder($entity)
->add('name', 'text')
->getForm();
When you add your crush field, you can then specify the number of decimal places that should be represented on the form by including the precision option:
$form = $this->createFormBuilder($entity)
->add('name', 'text')
->add('crush', 'number', array('precision' => 3) )
->getForm();
The form will then round the value before inserting it into the database.
Documentation:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types/number.html#precision
that's what I did ;
<script type="text/javascript">
function execute_time_ext(clicked) {
if (document.forms && document.forms['show_convert']) {
var from = document.forms['show_convert'].unit_from.value;
var elms = document.getElementsByName('unit');
var amount = document.forms['show_convert']['value'].value;
var to;
var amount_int = ['show_convert']['value'] - 0;
for (var i=0; i<elms.length; i++) {
to = elms[i].value;
convert(show_convert['value'], from, to, false, false);
}
var cookie = 'default_decimals';
if (getCookie(cookie) != decimals) {
setCookie(cookie, decimals, null, '/');
}
} else {
if (clicked) {
alert('Converter error. Conversion not supported by browser.');
}
}
}
execute_time_ext(false);
</script>
widget :
<div onkeyup="execute_time_ext(true)" onchange="execute_time_ext(true)"> {{ form_widget(form['value']) }} {% endblock %}
<div> <input id="value_4" type="hidden" value="365.25|0|4" name="unit"></div>
</div>

collection Field Type not creating form elements

I'm trying to create a form which will add a new text box every time the 'Add new box' link got clicked.
I read through the following example.
http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types/collection.html
Basically I was following the example from the book. But when the page is rendered and I click on the link nothing happens.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
This is my controller.
public function createAction() {
$formBuilder = $this->createFormBuilder();
$formBuilder->add('emails', 'collection', array(
// each item in the array will be an "email" field
'type' => 'email',
'prototype' => true,
'allow_add' => true,
// these options are passed to each "email" type
'options' => array(
'required' => false,
'attr' => array('class' => 'email-box')
),
));
$form = $formBuilder->getForm();
return $this->render('AcmeRecordBundle:Form:create.html.twig', array(
'form' => $form->createView(),
));
}
This is the view.
<form action="..." method="POST" {{ form_enctype(form) }}>
{# store the prototype on the data-prototype attribute #}
<ul id="email-fields-list" data-prototype="{{ form_widget(form.emails.get('prototype')) | e }}">
{% for emailField in form.emails %}
<li>
{{ form_errors(emailField) }}
{{ form_widget(emailField) }}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
Add another email
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
// keep track of how many email fields have been rendered
var emailCount = '{{ form.emails | length }}';
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#add-another-email').click(function() {
var emailList = jQuery('#email-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 our 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 our list
var newLi = jQuery('<li></li>').html(newWidget);
newLi.appendTo(jQuery('#email-fields-list'));
return false;
});
})
</script>
This problem can be solved by referring to the following link.
https://github.com/beberlei/AcmePizzaBundle
Here you will find the same functionality being implemented.
I've been through this too.
Answer and examples given to this question and the other question I found did not answer my problem either.
Here is how I did it, in some generic manner.
In generic, I mean, Any collection that I add to the form just need to follow the Form template loop (in a macro, for example) and that's all!
Using which convention
HTML is from Twitter Bootstrap 2.0.x
Javascript code is already in a $(document).ready();
Following Symfony 2.0.x tutorial
Using MopaBootstrapBundle
Form Type class
class OrderForm extends AbstractType
{
// ...
public function buildForm(FormBuilder $builder, array $options)
{
// ...
$builder
->add('sharingusers', 'collection', array(
'type' => new UserForm(),
'allow_add' => true,
'allow_delete' => true,
'by_reference' => false,
'required'=> false
));
// ...
}
}
JavaScript
/* In the functions section out of document ready */
/**
* Add a new row in a form Collection
*
* Difference from source is that I use Bootstrap convention
* to get the part we are interrested in, the input tag itself and not
* create a new .collection-field block inside the original.
*
* Source: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/form/form_collections.html
*/
function addTagForm(collectionHolder, newBtn) {
var prototype = collectionHolder.attr('data-prototype');
var p = prototype.replace(/\$\$name\$\$/g, collectionHolder.children().length);
var newFormFromPrototype = $(p);
var buildup = newFormFromPrototype.find(".controls input");
var collectionField = $('<div class="collection-field"></div>').append(buildup);
newBtn.before(collectionField);
}
/* ********** */
$(document).ready(function(){
/* other initializations */
/**
* Form collection behavior
*
* Inspired, but refactored to be re-usable from Source defined below
*
* Source: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/form/form_collections.html
*/
var formCollectionObj = $('form .behavior-collection');
if(formCollectionObj.length >= 1){
console.log('run.js: document ready "form .behavior-collection" applied on '+formCollectionObj.length+' elements');
var addTagLink = $('<i class="icon-plus-sign"></i> Add');
var newBtn = $('<div class="collection-add"></div>').append(addTagLink);
formCollectionObj.append(newBtn);
addTagLink.on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
addTagForm(formCollectionObj, newBtn);
});
}
/* other initializations */
});
The form template
Trick here is that I would have had used the original {{ form_widget(form }} but I needed to add some specific to the view form and I could not make it shorter.
And I tried to edit only the targeted field and found out it was a bit complex
Here is how I did it:
{# All form elements prior to the targeted field #}
<div class="control-collection control-group">
<label class="control-label">{{ form_label(form.sharingusers) }}</label>
<div class="controls behavior-collection" data-prototype="{{ form_widget(form.sharingusers.get('prototype'))|escape }}">
{% for user in form.sharingusers %}
{{ form_row(user) }}
{% endfor %}
</div>
</div>
{{ form_rest(form) }}
