I have the following Symfony form field, it's a drop down that loads from an entity:
->add('measureunit', 'entity', array('label' => 'Measure Unit',
'class' => 'TeamERPBaseBundle:MeasureUnit',
'expanded' => false, 'empty_value' => '',
'multiple' => false, 'property' => 'abreviation'
))
As you can see I have added 'empty_value' => ''
and everything works fine. Now, what I want is to have an extra option at the end to add a let say new measure unit
. In other words the dropdown should display all the content of my entity, the empty value and other extra option called new measure unit
or what ever I want to call it. Is it possible?
Edit: The whole form type file has this:
<?php
namespace TeamERP\StoresBundle\Form\Type;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
class ProductType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('name', 'text', array('label'=>'Product name', 'required' => true,
'attr' => array('class' => 'form-control')))
->add('code', 'text', array('label'=>'Code', 'required' => false,
'attr' => array('class' => 'form-control')))
->add('description', 'text', array('label'=>'Description', 'required' => false,
'attr' => array('class' => 'form-control')))
->add('cost', 'money', array('label'=>'Cost', 'divisor' => 100, 'currency' => 'BWP'))
->add('category', new CategoryType(), array('required' => false))
->add('measureunit', 'entity', array('label' => 'Measure Unit',
'class' => 'TeamERPBaseBundle:MeasureUnit',
'expanded' => false, 'placeholder' => '',
'multiple' => false, 'property' => 'abreviation'
))
->add('qtyToPurchase', 'number', array('label'=>'Quantity to purchase', 'required' => false,
'attr' => array('class' => 'form-control')))
->add('reorderPoint', 'number', array('label'=>'Reorder point', 'required' => false,
'attr' => array('class' => 'form-control')))
->add('qtyOnSalesOrder', 'number', array('label'=>'Quantity on sales order', 'required' => false,
'attr' => array('class' => 'form-control')));
}
public function getName()
{
return 'product';
}
public function finishView(FormView $view, FormInterface $form, array $options)
{
$new_choice = new ChoiceView(array(), 'add', 'add new'); // <- new option
$view->children['measureunit']->vars['choices'][] = $new_choice;//<- adding the new option
}
}
Error:
Compile Error: Declaration of TeamERP\StoresBundle\Form\Type\ProductType::finishView() must be compatible with Symfony\Component\Form\FormTypeInterface::finishView(Symfony\Component\Form\FormView $view, Symfony\Component\Form\FormInterface $form, array $options)
Edit2 Working form file:
<?php

use Symfony\Component\Form\FormView;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormInterface;

class ProductType extends AbstractType

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

}
public function getName()
{
return 'product';
}
public function finishView(FormView $view, FormInterface $form, array $options)
{
$new_choice = new ChoiceView(array(), 'add', 'add new'); // <- new option
$view->children['measureunit']->vars['choices'][] = $new_choice;//<- adding the new option
}
}
In your form type override the function finishView
:
public function buildForm(FormbuilderInterface $builder, array $options){
$builder->add('measureunit', EntityType::class, array(
'label' => 'Measure Unit',
'class' => 'TeamERPBaseBundle:MeasureUnit',
'expanded' => false,
'empty_value' => '',
'multiple' => false,
'property' => 'abbreviation'
));
}
public function finishView(FormView $view, FormInterface $form, array $options)
{
$newChoice = new ChoiceView(array(), 'add', 'Add New'); // <- new option
$view->children['measureunit']->vars['choices'][] = $newChoice;//<- adding the new option
}
You will get a new option 'add new' with value 'add' to the bottom of the field.
In addition to accepted answer:
If you choose the added option you will get validation error (because it's not valid entity), the following snippet can be used to overcome this error:
$builder->addEventListener(
FormEvents::PRE_SUBMIT,
function (FormEvent $event) {
if ($event->getData() === 'add') {
$event->setData(null);
}
}
);
Then you can check if selected option is NULL, if it's => take value from additional input field.
