Hidden entity type for Symfony forms.
This is a Symfony form type that allows you to add an entity in your form that would be displayed as a hidden input.
$ composer require shapecode/hidden-entity-type-bundle
Composer will install the bundle to your project's vendor directory.
Enable the bundle in the config if flex it did´nt do it for you:
<?php // config/bundles.php return [ // ... Shapecode\Bundle\HiddenEntityTypeBundle\ShapecodeHiddenEntityTypeBundle::class => ['all' => true], // ... ];
You can use the type in your forms just like this:
<?php use Shapecode\Bundle\HiddenEntityTypeBundle\Form\Type\HiddenEntityType; // ... $builder->add('entity', HiddenEntityType::class, array( 'class' => YourBundleEntity::class ));
You can also use the HiddenDocumentType::class type:
<?php use Shapecode\Bundle\HiddenEntityTypeBundle\Form\Type\HiddenDocumentType; // ... $builder->add('document', HiddenDocumentType::class, array( 'class' => YourBundleDocument::class ));
There is only one required option "class". You must specify entity class in Symfony format that you want to be used in your form.
You can use the HiddenEntityType or HiddenDocumentType type in your forms this way:
<?php // ... $builder->add('entity', HiddenEntityType::class, array( 'class' => YourBundleEntity::class, // required 'property' => 'entity_id', // Mapped property name (default is 'id'), not required 'multiple' => false, // support for an array of entities, not required 'data' => $entity, // Field value by default, not required 'invalid_message' => 'The entity does not exist.', // Message that would be shown if no entity found, not required ));
Feel free to report any issues. If you have an idea to make it better go ahead and modify and submit pull requests.
