Formvalidering

Enkel formulärvalidering med begränsningar

Exempel Controller action

public function exampleAction(Request $request)
{
    /*
     * First you need object ready for validation.
     * You can create new object or load it from database.
     * You need to add some constraints for this object (next example)
     */
    $book = new Book();
    
    /*
     * Now create Form object. 
     * You can do it manually using FormBuilder (below) or by creating
     * FormType class and passing it to builder.
     */ 
    $form = $this->createFormBuilder($book)
        ->add('title', TextType::class)
        ->add('pages', IntegerType::class)

        ->getForm();

    /*
     * Handling Request by form.
     * All data submitted to form by POST(default) is mapped to
     * to object passed to FormBuilder ($book object)
     */ 
    $form->handleRequest($request);

    /*
     * Form Validation
     * In this step we check if form is submitted = data passed in POST
     * and is your object valid. Object is valid only if it pass form validation
     * in function isValid(). Validation constraints are loaded from config files
     * depending on format (annotations, YAML, XML etc). 
     * IMPORTANT - object passed (book) is validated NOT form object
     * Function isValid() using Symfony Validator component.
     */ 
    if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
        /*
         * Now object is valid and you can save or update it
         * Original object ($book) passed into form builder has been updated 
         * but you can also get variable by function getData: 
         * $book = $form->getData();
         */ 

        // You can now redirect user to success page
        return $this->redirectToRoute('book_success_route');
    }

    /*
     * If form is not submitted you show empty form to user.
     * If validation fail then the form object contains list of FormErrors.
     * Form errors are displayed in form_row template (read about form templates)
     */
