Hi, I've following this videos and I found em great, but just one thing, "OptionsResolverInterface" is deprecated in 2.6 version. Would be nice to read a post or watch an update of how to fix it.
Cheers!

weaverryan SFCASTS Diego A. 8 years ago

Hi Diego!

Yes, very good catch! And actually, I don't believe we have a a non-deprecated way to handle this yet. It's something we're working on :). For now, don't worry about it.

Cheers!

Thanks for your fast answer, and one more thing, I think the comment's counter of the page is broken or something, it says 0 comments.

weaverryan SFCASTS Diego A. 8 years ago

You're right - I've got a bug in the system - on my list to fix it!

Cheers!

Hi there!

Sorry for asking this dumb question here, but I couldn't find in documentation the list of options to pass to
[FormBuilderInterface] $builder->add() method (third parameter)

Thanks for your time :)

|

weaverryan SFCASTS MolloKhan 8 years ago

Hey!

Every field type has different options (though many options - like label - are used by every field type). Just find the field your working with and all the types are doc'ed :) http://symfony.com/doc/curr...

Cheers!

MolloKhan SFCASTS weaverryan 8 years ago

Oh yeah I found that and it is very useful but my real problem is since I'm working with field validations, I found that you can add constraints directly in FormType, just like this:

$builder->add('plainPassword', 'repeated', array(
'constraints' => array(
new Assert\Regex(array(
'pattern' => '/^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?!.*\s).*$/'
))));

So I've been searching where can I check all this options but I just can't find it.

Sometimes I find kind of lost in the documentation hehehe

Thanks for your fast answer ;]

|

weaverryan SFCASTS MolloKhan 8 years ago

Ok, so *most* options are included in the docs :). If you want to look in the source code to find the available options, the trick is that every field type is backed by a class. For example, "date" is DateType, and you can look on that class for the options (there is also a hierarchy, so all fields extend from FormType and get *its* options too).

Now, constraints is special - it's added to *all* fields via a "plugin" of sorts, called a "form type extension". To see where these options come from, the class is called FormTypeValidatorExtension. If you look up how form type extensions work and what they do, it'll help make more sense. So it's a powerful bit of functionality that provides these options, but this should get you started.

Cheers!

Hi , the second argument is $defaultUser not $user...

public function registerAction(Request $request)
{
$defaultUser = new User();
$defaultUser->setUsername('Foo');

$form = $this->createForm(new RegisterFormType(), $user);

// ...
}

weaverryan SFCASTS Guest 8 years ago

Good catch! I just fixed this at sha: https://github.com/knpunive...

Thanks Marco!

hello, there are something about buildForm that i don't understand, buildForm return nothing, how do it work plz ?

thanks

|

weaverryan SFCASTS yujunjie0603 8 years ago

Hey there!

Sorry for the late reply! You're right that buildForm returns nothing :). But that's ok! It's purpose is to modify the `$builder` variable that is passed in. So basically:

1) Symfony creates this `$builder` variable
2) Symfony calls buildForm() and passes you this variable
3) You modify this by adding fields with add()
4) Symfony uses the modified `$builder` to build your form

Does that make sense?

Cheers!

I encountered another problem,

when i submit, it displays :

The CSRF token is invalid. Please try to resubmit the form.

but if in the getName, it return "form" replace the "user_register",

there is not this problem !

like this

class RegisterFormType extends AbstractType
{
public function getName()
{
return "form";
}

...
}
could you help me plz ? merci !

|

weaverryan SFCASTS yujunjie0603 8 years ago

Hmm, that is very strange! You should not need to change from "user_register" to "form" - in fact the getName() method is not very important.

I think there could be another problem. What does your Twig template look like? The CSRF token is a hidden input field, and if you forget to render it, you will get this error message. Make sure you have form_rest(form) in your Twig template (or in newer versions of Symfony, you can use form_end(form) - look at the *last* code block on this page: https://knpuniversity.com/s...

Ultimately, if you view the HTML source of your page, you should see name="_token" field. If you don't see that, the CSRF token is not rendering, which will cause you this problem :).

Cheers!

Hey there!

If someone is going thru this tutorial but using symfony 3, you will find a little problem with "createForm" method, it now takes the class name (RegisterFormType::class) instead of the object itself
