Symfony 3 Forms: Build, Render & Conquer!

Hey @Markus!

I agree :). Forms seem like overkill! So, you have a few options.

1) You could handle those 3 fields manually, but still validate the final entity class to see if there are validation errors. You don't need forms to have validation.

2) You could just handle the validation manually. Really, when I have small AJAX endpoints like this, checking 3 separate values is not a huge deal. And... even more... I don't usually even need to check all 3 - if one of those fields is some user-submitted text... there's not really anything to validate. You only need to validate if there are actually some "wrong" possible values.

Anyways, it *kinda* depends on your setup, but for 1-3 values... I'd go with option (2) - just do the 1-2 checks yourself, and then pass the values to a service once you're happy, like you're already doing :).

Cheers!

Heyho ! While I feel quite comfortable using forms, I'm not sure how to best handle my ajax data. Mostly I have one to three values sent via ajax and finally triggering some service action. Clearly the data should be sanitized and validated on backend side. However, using a specific form model for each case seems a bit overhead to me. Any recommendations ? Thanxbye

Hey Stonehenge Webdev

I usually don't use Form events (I try to do all my work out of the form), but this post may help you https://stackoverflow.com/a...

Cheers!

Hey Ryan,

Is there a way to get the submitted data () in the the SUBMIT form event?

I have some unmapped form field as a result of form modification in SUBMIT event. When I submit the form, I can view the unmapped field with $request->request->all() in the controller prior to the $form->handlerequest method.
I try to access the unmapped field in the PRE_SUBMIT and SUBMIT event listeners but I only get the:
- underlying data_class (entity) with the mapped fields of course
- and the original form fields and form fields set in PRE_SET_DATA event listener.

I need the value of the submitted unmapped field to do some form modification on the form.

Could you please point me in the right direction? I 've read something about defining a model class instead of the entity as the 'data_class' in the form, which will have my unmapped fields as properties, any ideas?

Hey guys,

Here's an example of using FormEvents - check it out in the "Doctrine Collections: ManyToMany, Forms & other Complex Relations" tutorial:
https://knpuniversity.com/s...

Cheers!

Agreed!

Hey Cristian,

It's not because of the dependency injection, but because of database relationships between Product and Category, e.g. Product relates to the Category as ManyToOne. So you can get a category of product and, if you have setup inverse side, i.e. OneToMany relationship for the Category - you can get all products of a category. See the https://knpuniversity.com/s... for the real example.

Cheers!

Hi Cristian,

We prefer to use ReactJS, but AngularJS is nice too ;)

Cheers!

I'd use AngularJS!

Oh I see so you can do $product->getCategory() because of the dependency injection?

Hey Christian!

I don't have an example handy, but let me at least get you started :).

Suppose you have a Product entity and a Category entity... and for some reason, you need to create a new form that allows you to create a edit product *and* its category name at the same time. You form needs to have these fields:

- categoryName
- productName
- productPrice

Here's the process to handle this:

1) Create a new mode class that matches the exact fields you need. So, a ProductCategoryFormModel class that has categoryName, productName and productPrice fields.

2) Create a form class with the 3 fields and render it. There's nothing special about this form, except that its data_class is set to ProductCategoryFormModel

3) In your controller, you'll do a little extra processing to get this all setup:

/**
 * @Route("/products/edit/{id}")
 */
public function editAction(Product $product, Request $request)
{
    // create our "model" object by hand from our data
    $formModel = new ProductCategoryFormModel();
    $formModel->setProductName($product->getName());
    $formModel->setProductPrice($product->getPrice());
    $formModel->setCategoryName($product->getCategory()->getName());

    $form = $this->createForm(ProductCategoryForm::class, $formModel);

    $form->handleRequest($request);
    if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
        // now we need use or model object to update our entities
        $product->setName($formModel->getProductName());
        $product->setPrice($formModel->getProductPrice());
        $product->getCategory()->setName($formModel->getCategoryName());

        // persist and flush the entities, then redirect!
    }
}

As you can see, it's just a manual process to transform whatever your database data is, into your new model class. Then, after submit, you do the same thing back. That manual works is a little bit annoying, but the benefit is that you have a *super* simple form that maps exactly to a class. You can also easily add validation constraints to your model class.

Let me know if that helps, and any other questions you have about this :)

Cheers!

Hi Ryan,
I'd like to see an example of how to save a ViewModel (form with data from different tables). Is it already available somewhere?

Thank you Victor Bocharsky! :)

Hey Henri,

It's pretty simply - just use HTML code in your template :)

<form action="{{ path('some_route_here...') }}" method="POST">
  // fields and buttons here...
</form>

Cheers!

Hi Ryan, thank you for your answer..
So how to create form without Symfony form system? :)

Awesome! Thanks for posting :). I will also have a *small* Form events example on our upcoming collections tutorial: https://knpuniversity.com/s.... But, it's not the most complex example :).

Hi I already did this example https://github.com/slk500/D... maybe it will be helpful for someone else

Hey Henri!

Honestly, these are a huge pain with Symfony's form (maybe my *least* favorite thing to do with them). They're hard enough with 2 dependent dropdowns, but 4 makes it even uglier.

If possible, I would recommend refactoring your form to *not* use the Symfony form system, and instead just write some AJAX to handle all of this. If these fields are the only ones that exist on the page, then this is easy. But if they're part of a bigger form, then it's a bit harder, as you probably still want to use the Symfony form system for the rest of the form. In that case, I would still add these to your form, but I would make them hidden fields, and then write JavaScript to create the drop-downs and set the hidden fields' values onChange. If the fields (e.g. provinces, regencies) are drop-downs of entities in your system, then you can do the same thing, but you'll need to add a EntityHiddenType to your app (https://gist.github.com/bjo... and set your fields to this type (this will make them a hidden field, but when you set their value to the entity's id, Symfony will query for the entity using that id on submit).

So... it's complicated. But let me know if this helps!

Cheers!

Hey @elbarto,

It depends on your business logic. You can use form inheritance too, i.e. PlayerType extends UserType - I think it's the easiest one. Or something like you said, based on an instance of data, i.e. whether it a Player object or a User object - add or hide some extra fields. We have a screencast how to do that here: https://knpuniversity.com/s...

I hope it helps you.

Cheers!

Hi all.. How to make dependent dropdown in symfony?
I have 4 dependent field (provinces -> regencies -> districts -> villages).
So I want to select a villages, based on the villages in districts and so on..
I already follow the documentation(http://symfony.com/doc/curr..., but still not work for me..
Thank you...

Hi there, great tutorials really !! I was wondering how you would deal with entity inheritance. Let's say you have a User Entity and a Player Entity extending User (based on a doctrine class table inheritance). How would you build and render your form then ? Build a form that is not mapped to an entity with a choice field asking the type of user ? and if we select 'player' we would add fields dynamically ?

Hey Maciej,

That's a good idea indeed! You should always set the lowest visibility for class methods, i.e. starts from private. If you see that some inherited class require access to this method - make it protected. And only if this method should be publicly accessible outside the class - make it public. Private ( protected ) methods make your class less responsible for your code. In this case you could easily refactor this methods. I love refactor private methods, because I 100% ensure that these methods are used only inside the class.

Some controller methods should be "public", e.g. all your actions, but for other helper methods - always start with "private" and reveal visibility only if it necessary.

Cheers!

Hey folks. What do you think about private functions in controller class?

I've moved this up higher on our list - there's obviously some interest here! :D

yeah please do this example https://symfony.com/doc/mas...

Yeah, I would love to see it too (dynamic forms especially) ;)

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

hey weaverryan indeed i went with the textfile option! after analizing myself yesterday the code I realized that was the best way to go.

so indeed, im not using fileType, but textType, and hooking the text-field with a javascript to open the bootstrap modal with the filemanager. and on select, that text-field is filled with the file value.

the text-field is a read-only file, so the user cant actually interact manually with the name of the file.
form is rendered normally.
modal

<div class="modal-body">
    <iframe width="100%" height="450" src="{{ asset('vendor/responsive-filemanager/filemanager/dialog.php') }}?type=0&amp;field_id=blog_form_mainImage" frameborder="0" style="overflow: scroll; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: scroll;
            ">
    </iframe>
</div>

//builder stuff
->add('mainImage', TextType::class, [
    'attr' => [
        'readonly' => 'readonly',
        'data-target' => '#browser',
        'data-toggle' => 'modal'
    ],
    'label' => 'main_image'
])

Hey JLChafardet!

I'm not sure exactly what you're doing wrong - it depends on what your form theme looks like - but we're going to cover a lot more about this in our form themes tutorial. But more importantly, I have a simpler approach for you, which I use all the time:

A) Don't use the FileType. If you have a "file manager" system, where the user is uploading inside some modal and ultimately choosing some file that they have *already* uploaded, then when the user finishes this process and submits the form, all you should need to send is the name of the file that was selected (or perhaps, it's an "id" - if you have some sort of File entity that your file manager manages). Said differently, you do not really have a file "upload" field in your form - the file is uploaded somewhere else, and this "file" field in your form is really more of a "text" field - in that you are just submitting some value - like foo.png or 10 (the id of a File entity). With this in mind, you could go a direction that would look like this: Use TextType, but give it a class that makes it hidden *and* some other class - like js-file-selector-field - that you can find with JavaScript

B) On page load, look for all inputs with the class js-file-selector-field, and append your button markup manually after the input, and hook up any modal JS functionality.

C) After the modal is finished, use JavaScript to set the value on your hidden "text" field to whatever filename/id was just selected.

D) Now, when you submit, you will be submitting a simple string value, which is really what you want.

Depending on your setup - especially if you have some File entity - you may want to use a "data transformer" to transform the id (10) into the File entity object whose id is 10, so that this is ultimately set on your object. Data transformers are a little more advanced, but this is a pretty common use for them.

I hope this helps man!

This is great! indeed this solution is far more flexible than mine, as mine i somewhat hardcoded. or i guess i can overwrite it too, lemme test.
//update
yes i can overwrite it, so it works great, not a bad idea to have auto-renders, but if i need to overwrite something, there is a way to do so.

thanks @weaverryan

I'm moving now to highly different and "seemly" more complicated waters, reading the documentation as we speak.

What i want:

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="mainImage" class="col-sm-2 control-label">
        {{ 'image'|trans ~ ' ' ~ 'main'|trans|lower }}
    </label>
    <div class="col-sm-10">
        <div class="input-group">
            <input type="text" id="blog_form_mainImage" name="blog_form[mainImage]" class="form-control" readonly="" placeholder="">
            
                <button class="btn btn-default" data-target="#browser" data-toggle="modal" type="button">
                    {{ 'search'|trans }}
                </button>
            
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

I am trying to make a custom widget, because the FileType just wont work, as im looking for a input-group, with a read-only text field, bundled with a button, that opens a custom file manager inside a modal lol

I'm working atm on the widget template (no luck whatsoever yet), so i can render in place of

{{ form_row(myForm.fieldName) }}

print

{% form_theme myForm 'widget-template.html.twig' %}
{{ form_widget(myForm.myinputGroup) }}

yet im having no luck at all! and attempting to print the field in html, just breaks the page. for one, attempts to print the FieldType below the form (not sure why) and if i remove it from the FormType class it tells me "the form cannot have additional fields"
also its erroring me on the form token tho, no clue why.

Glad you figured it out! The code you posted will be helpful for other people :).

For those people, here's the working code for setting a label:

{# the 2nd argument of *form_label* is just the string label #}
{{ form_label(form.title, 'title') }}

{# the 2nd argument if *form_row* is an array of variables #}
{{ form_row(form.title, {'label': 'title'}) }}

Cheers!

Haha, yes, you got it!

It comes with Symfony out of the box :)

Very nice research!

still trying to figure out the label part tho.

An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Catchable Fatal Error: Argument 3 passed to Symfony\Component\Form\FormRenderer::searchAndRenderBlock() must be of the type array, string given, called in /var/www/vhosts/lockandbefree.s3/var/cache/dev/classes.php(3641) : eval()'d code on line 26 and defined") in :admin/blog:_form.html.twig at line 2. 

while using

{{ form_row(myForm.title, 'title' }}

as suggested in the documentation http://symfony.com/doc/curr...

found it

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
    $builder
        ->add('title', TextType::class, [
            'label' => 'title'
        ])

        //other fields

        ->add('isVisible', ChoiceType::class, [
            'choices' => [
                'yes' => true,
                'no' => false,
            ],
            'choice_label' => function ($value, $key, $index) {
                return $key;
            },
        ]);
}

Sorry for the spam tho! hope this works for other people wondering about the same thing.

here! haha

form_themes:
    - 'bootstrap_3_horizontal_layout.html.twig'

http://symfony.com/blog/new... <-- ok going to get it working asap.

Hey Victor Bocharsky thanks a lot! that did it.
went with only $key tho :D

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
    $builder

        -//other fields

        ->add('isVisible', ChoiceType::class, [
            'choices' => [
                'yes' => true,
                'no' => false,
            ],
            'choice_label' => function ($value, $key, $index) {
                return $key;
            },
        ]);
}

as the key for simple words in my messages.es.yml is the word itself
indeed I had enabled translation tho thanks for the reminder.

parameters:
    locale: es

framework:
    #esi:             ~
    translator:      { fallbacks: ["%locale%"] }

Now, how would we go about getting rid of the label guessing? I tried this:

{{ form_start(myForm) }}
    {{ form_label(myForm.title, 'title') }}
    {{ form_row(myForm.title) }}
    {# other fields #}
{{ form_end(myForm) }}

no luck it renders the label translated as it should, but below the field with the untranslated (guessed) label.

is there a way to actually get a full horizontal form (bootstrap) using the form builder yet using my own labels? maybe I should go through this whole chapter again to take a peak :S

Hey there!

Yes, you can translate choices directly in your form type using `choice_label` option:

    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder
            // other fields
            ->add('isVisible', ChoiceType::class, [
                'choices' => [
                    'yes' => true,
                    'no' => false,
                ],
                'choice_label' => function ($value, $key, $index) {
                    return 'form.choice.'.$key;
                },
            ]);
    }

For more information about `choice_label` option see ChoiceType Field. And don't forget to enable translator in your config.yml:

framework:
    translator: ~

Cheers!

hey guys!

Lets go with a question here and I wont lie, I'm too lazy to google LOL sorry!

we have a formtype, great! now, choices....

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder
            ->add('title')
            ->add('mainImage')
            ->add('description')
            ->add('content')
            ->add('isVisible', ChoiceType::class, [
                'choices' => [
                    'yes' => true,
                    'no' => false,
                ]
            ]);
    }

how would I go around to put there a string that I'm planning on enclosing in single quotes to then translate it?

{{ 'string'|trans }}

in twig?

Super nice - it definitely helps! Thank you so much!
You gals and guys are doing a fantastic job!

Thanks Schmalitz for the really nice comments!

And you are 100% thinking in the right direction - you even explained it really well in my opinion :p. We've gotten a few requests to explain this further, so I think we will in a future tutorial. But, your GenusAdminController would ultimately look something like this (this is totally, fake code - just use it for inspiration!). In this example, I have a "Genus edit form" with just 2 fields: the Genus name and the Genus's SubFamily name. If you changed the SubFamily name, you would actually update that record in the database (it's kind of a weird example):

public function editAction(Genus $genus)
{
    // create the model object and "transfer" the data to it from other entities
    $genusModel = new GenusModel(); // some non-entity class
    $genusModel->setName($genus->getName());
    $genusModel->setSubFamilyName($genus->getSubFamily()->getName());

    $form = $this->createForm(GenusModelForm::class, $genusModel);

    if ($form->isValid()) {
        // now, transfer the submitted data back to the entities
        $genus->setName($genusModel->getName());
        $genus->getSubFamily()->setName($genusModel->getSubFamilyName());

        // save the $genus and $genus->getSubFamily() objects
    }

    // ...
}

I hope that helps!

Hi Leanna and Ryan. This course is huge (all of your courses are, by the way...)! Thank you so much!

Re ModelClass (multiple entities -> one form): Could you maybe give an example of how to design such a ModelClass? I could imagine these to be - lets say - a pseudo-entity looking like an entity (without database connection) which holds specific properties from different entities. These properties are defined by setters custom querying data from the actual entity.

Am I thinking in the right direction? Could you maybe drop such a ModelClass and also the Controller-lines (GenusAdminController) as of line 67 to save this data-collection? Or just paste in a knowledge-resource which you do recommend.

Thank you so much!
Cheers

Hey Sergio!

No worries - this is a pretty common thing that people ask. First, there is no performance difference - the choice will be entirely subjective: whatever you like better. Here's a quick summary:

Annotations:
PROS: the route is right above your action method
CONS: slight performance degradation in the dev environment (something I've been meaning to "fix" in SensioFrameworkExtraBundle)

YAML
PROS: All of your routes in one file (or a set of files) - though due to debug:router, you can always get a list of routes with annotations or YAML. Also, it's a little easier to re-order routes if you need to
CONS: The route is not right next to the action method, so you need to manage/edit 2 files. Also, the _controller syntax is ugly for beginners

I like annotations because everything is in one file and I hate the _controller syntax (well, mostly, I hate teaching it to beginners).

You'll be in good shape either way!

Cheers!

Hi Ryan, quick question and maybe a little bit of topic but... What's better routes as annotation or routes as yml?? I'm working on a project at the moment and we use yml, just was wondering if there's any gaing on one over the other. Great work teaching us Symfony, thanks mate! =)

Makes sense, thanks

Hey Baig!

I like and don't like "form handlers". Basically, we all know that putting logic in a controller is "bad" and putting logic in a service is "good". That's fundamentally why form handlers are created: they hold the form handling logic so that it doesn't live in your controller. Third-party bundles also do it for another reason: if they put the logic in a service, it's typically easier for an end-user to extend/override parts of the functionality (however, this can be done even better by firing events, like FOSUserBundle does).

I don't love form handlers personally (which is why you don't find them here or on the official docs) because that logic typically isn't re-used, shouldn't be unit-tested and is fundamental to the "flow" of your app (e.g. setting flash messages, redirecting, etc). However, if I actually need to do a bit of work before setting the flash and redirecting (e.g. instead of just "saving" an entity, I need to do some data manipulation, send an email, etc), then isolating some of all of this into a service makes sense. However, even in that case, I usually make a service that's special to what it's doing (e.g. NotificationManager::createNotification) instead of being something that just handles the "form logic".

It's certainly subjective - but there ya go!

Cheers!

Hi,

I have been seeing a lot of 3rd party bundle the that make use of FormHandlers. What is this and why we need this? I also read about it in the book An year with Symfony. Official documentation does not mention this. I actually don't want to personally use FormHandlers as I think we have Events that does pretty nice job.

Are you going to cover this topic as I just want to understand this.

Baig

Ha, glad you figured it out one way or another! This setup makes sense to me :)

I had to enter the $user object into the form builder and after the form->handlerequest() I had to delete the $data object, it was causing the problems. the fix is below, thank anyway ryan, your a legend.

     $user = $em->getRepository('AppBundle\Entity\User')
            ->find($userId);

 $form = $this->createFormBuilder($user)
            ->add('firstName', TextType::class)
            ->add('lastName', TextType::class)
            ->add('address', TextType::class)
            ->add('EmailAddress', TextType::class, array(
                'required' => true,
            ))
            ->add('password', TextType::class)
            ->add('phoneNumber', IntegerType::class)
            ->add('title', TextType::class)
            ->add('role', EntityType::class, array(
                'class' => 'AppBundle\Entity\Role',
                'choice_label' => 'role',
                'placeholder' => 'Choose Role',
            ))
            ->add('sites', EntityType::class, array(
                'class' => 'AppBundle\Entity\Site',
                'choice_label' => 'name',
                'placeholder' => 'Choose Sites',
                'required' => false,
                'expanded' => true,
                'multiple' => true,
            ))
            ->add('drivingLicence', TextType::class)
            ->add('drivingLicenceExpiryDate', DateType::class)
            ->add('securityLicence', TextType::class)
            ->add('securityLicenceExpiryDate', DateType::class)
            ->add('goodQuality', TextType::class)
            ->add('create', SubmitType::class, array('label' => 'Edit User'))
            ->getForm();

$form->handleRequest($request);

        if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
            $em->persist($user);
            $this->addFlash(
                'success',
                'User details have been updated'
            );
            $em->flush();

            return $this->redirectToRoute('users_list');
        }

//I had to delete $data = $form->getData(); and then all the setters after that.

Hey Kosta!

Hmm, it looks fine to me! In fact, it's curious: if you set multiple to false, I would expect this to *fail*, as the EntityType would pass an individual *object* to your User.sites property. Do you have a setSites() method on User? That's the only piece I don't see here. It's also odd that Doctrine is complaining about the ArrayCollection - as it implements the Collection interface class that it says it actually wants :).

Cheers!

Hi Tom!

Haha, well, we don't want that :). At least I'm glad you're excited about the tutorial. I can temporarily publish the finished code for this tutorial - as you suggested - to keep people productive over the next week or so before we get this out! You can find it here: https://github.com/knpunive.... If you look at the commits (https://github.com/knpunive... you can find the individual steps.

Cheers!

Ah, too bad! This is coming out so soon! Well, it'll be ready if/when you come back to Symfony :).

Half a year after official Symfony3 release and you still have not finished basic Symfony3 course. I actually started learning laravel... :(

Hey Ryan, I have gone through the form tutorials on symphony 2 but cant find out how to submit a EntityChoice with multiple set to true (site). If I set multiple to false it works fine, but when I put multiple => true one of the following happens. a) if I choose just one option in the select box I get an error "Expected value of type "Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection|array" for association field "AppBundle\Entity\User#$sites", got "Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection" instead" b) if I tick all available options and press submit it just reloads the page. I have 2 tables users and sites. on the user entity I have

/**
* @ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="Site", inversedBy="users")
*/
private $sites;

public function __construct()
{
$this->sites = new arrayCollection();
}

*/ * @return ArrayCollection

/**
public function getSites()
{
return $this->sites;
}

My site entity is as follows:

/**
* @ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="User", mappedBy="sites")
*/
private $users;

/**
* @return mixed
*/
public function getUsers()
{
return $this->users;
}

My form element that is causing problems is below

$form = $this->createFormBuilder()
->add('sites', EntityType::class, array(
'class' => 'AppBundle\Entity\Site',
'choice_label' => 'name',
'placeholder' => 'Choose Sites',
'expanded' => true,
'multiple' => true,
))
->add('create', SubmitType::class, array('label' => 'Create User'))
->getForm();

$form->handleRequest($request);

if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
$data = $form->getData();

$user->getSites()->add($data['sites']);
$em->persist($user);
$em->flush();

How about this... Even if you do not have the video done, how about releasing the lesson and code.

Seriously, I am about to abandon KNP for codereviewvideos.com if this does not come out this week.

Hi Bjorn! This will come out later this month - so in May! So, within the next 2 weeks :)

Please when is this coming out. I really need it !!!!!!

Here is what happens and the solution: http://stackoverflow.com/qu...

Cya!!

Hey, congrats! And that's a great idea! We have some documentation about it on symfony.com (I'm sure you saw that), but I don't know how complete it is. Any words of wisdom you could add here quickly to help others?

Cheers!

Hi Raphael!

Yes - you'll attach your annotations via options on the fields: http://symfony.com/doc/curr...

Cheers!

hello there again!!! i have an question about forms... can i validate an no entity related form?

I created an form to find something in database, but if i send it clear, will return all, i don't want it....

Hi there,
Would be nice to see something about of how to manage file uploads in entity forms, like images for users avatar

cheers ;]

Last track is over quickly :( but thank you very much!
I am looking forward the next one :)

Hey Ryan,

Would be great if advance tutorials like FormEvents are also covered in this Chapter or the next.

Thanks for sharing - I like this solution a lot!

Maybe this help someone :) I've solved using a macro

{% macro purchasedProduct(product) %}
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
{{ form_row(product.name)}}
</div>
</div>
{% endmacro %}

and then {% import "form/bootstrap_supplier.html.twig" as supplierForm %}

and in data-prototype="{{ supplierForm.purchasedProduct(form.products.vars.prototype) |e }}"

Now I can use col-md-3 for my fields instead the default col-md-10 with a prototype and a collection :)

Hello, I'm starting with forms, and I've a question: I'm using bootstrap_3_horizontal_layout in a form with a collection; In fact, I've an Invoice and a row for each product in this invoice (ProductInvoice). I've followed http://symfony.com/doc/curr... and now I'm able to add a row and delete a row; if I understand correctly, I'm adding an object in real time with a prototype. Everything is working except that I need to show each form_row of ProductInvoice with style class="col-md-3" instead the default class="col-md-10".

I've tried this: http://symfony.com/doc/curr... but the problem is the form_row name since it's dynamic like purchase_invoice_products_1_name.

How can I customize the form_row of a prototype dynamically generated via javascript?
Thank you :)
