I would like to do a form with two distincts objets that are not related to one another.
Is it possible? Do I have to do 2 forms on the same page and a with javascript sumit them all together when the user click on a Javascript Submit Button? Or is possible to manage it just with one form with Symfony. If yes any tips about how to proceed it?
I'm not sure if this solutions is best one, but it's working on one of my project, where I had similar problem.
You need to create FormType for each of Entity and correctly define data_class in setDefaultOptions method. In our example these are EventType and UserType.
For this to work, you need create class which represent both of entities. I call then Form Models.
// Acme\DemoBundle\Form\Model\Custom.php
class Custom
{
public $event;
public $user;
}
And now just create last FormType which glue this entities together in one form.
// Acme\DemoBundle\Form\CustomType.php
class CustomType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder->add('Event', new EventType());
$builder->add('User', new UserType());
}
public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => 'Acme\DemoBundle\Form\Model\Custom'
));
}
...
}
