17. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto SUMMARY EntityType CollectionType Form Data Filtering on Entity / Collection Form Events Form Data Types Data Transformers Value Objects Property Path
18. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto ENTITY TYPE
19. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Use EntityType when you want list or “associate” one or more entities to another
20. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto class Product { // …. /** * @ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="Category",inversedBy="products") */ protected $categories; class Category { // …. /** *@ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="Product",mappedBy="categories") */ protected $products;
21. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto class Product { // …. /** * @ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="Category",inversedBy="products") */ protected $categories; class Category { // …. /** *@ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="Product",mappedBy="categories") */ protected $products; OWNING SIDE INVERSED SIDE
22. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto class Category { // …. public function addProduct(Product $product) { $this->products[] = $product; return $this; } public function removeProduct(Product $product) { $this->products->removeElement($product); }
23. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto class CategoryType extends AbstractType { public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) { $builder ->add('name', TextType::class) ->add('products', EntityType::class, [ 'class' => Product::class, 'multiple' => true, 'required' => false, ]); } //….
24. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Products are not associated to categories

27. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto That should not be the right answer Never bend your needs to software limits (unless strictly necessary) Doctrine looks only for changes ONLY on the owning side of association, so those adds will not take place. Take care yourself for data consistency (during objects lifecycle, ensure that all references are setted well in both sides). This concept is not ORM-related. We didn’t add by_reference => false into into FormType.

29. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Data consistency Class Product { // …. public function addCategory(Category $category) { if (!$this->categories->contains($category)) { $this->categories[] = $category; $category->addProduct($this); } return $this; } public function removeCategory(Category $category) { if ($this->categories->contains($category)) { $this->categories->removeElement($category); $category->removeProduct($this); } } Class Category { // …. public function addProduct(Product $product) { if (!$this->products->contains($product)) { $this->products[] = $product; $product->addCategory($this); } return $this; } public function removeProduct(Product $product) { if ($this->products->contains($product)) { $this->products->removeElement($product); $product->removeCategory($this); } }
30. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto This should not be the right answer Never bend your needs to software limits (unless strictly necessary) Doctrine looks only for changes ONLY on the owning side of association, so those adds will not take place. √ Take care yourself for data consistency (during objects lifecycle, ensure that all references are setted well in both sides). This concept is not ORM-related. √ We didn’t add by_reference => false into into FormType.
31. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) { $builder ->add('name', TextType::class) ->add('products', EntityType::class, [ 'class' => Product::class, 'multiple' => true, 'required' => false, 'by_reference' => false, ]); } by_refence => false
32. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto WHY BY_REFERENCE => FALSE It forces setter (adder) to be called on the parent element As a rule of thumb, set ALWAYS by_reference to false when dealing with objects (ArrayCollection included)
33. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto BY_REFERENCE => TRUE Name Cat. Name Name Name $cat->getProducts()->get{0}->setName(‘bar’); $cat->getProducts()->get{1}->setName(‘foobar’); $product3 = new Product(); $product3->setName(); $cat->getProducts()->add($product3); $cat->setName(‘foo’);
34. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto BY_REFERENCE => FALSE Name Cat. Name Name Name $cat->getProducts()->get{0}->setName(‘bar’); $cat->getProducts()->get{1}->setName(‘foobar’); $product3 = new Product(); $product3>setName(); $cat->addProduct($product3); $cat->setName(‘foo’);
35. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto COLLECTION TYPE
36. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Use CollectionType when you want to embed a collection of forms or add/remove directly elements from collection
37. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Class User { /** * @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="Ticket", mappedBy="user", cascade={"persist"}) */ protected $tickets; public function addTickets(Ticket $ticket) { if (!$this->tickets->contains($ticket)) { $this->tickets[] = $ticket; $ticket->setUser($this); } return $this; } public function removeTicket(Ticket $ticket) { $this->tickets->removeElement($ticket); }
38. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto $builder ->add('username', TextType::class) ->add(tickets, CollectionType::class, [ 'entry_type' => TicketType::class, 'allow_add' => true, 'allow_delete' => true, 'prototype' => true, 'by_reference' => false, ]); UserType

41. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Element not deleted!
42. In the court of the crimson king - king crimson (1969)
43. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Two possible solutions “Manually” (programmatically) remove elements Set orphanRemoval to true on the attribute If the relationship was ManyToMany and User was the owning side, no troubles
44. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto “Manually” (programmatically) remove elements $originalTickets = new ArrayCollection(); foreach ($user->getTickets() as $ticket) { $originalTickets->add($ticket); } if ($this->isFormSubmittedAndValid($form, $request)) { foreach ($originalTickets as $originalTicket) { if (!$user->getTickets()->contains($originalTicket)) { $em->remove($originalTicket); } } }
45. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto “Manually” (programmatically) remove elements $originalTickets = new ArrayCollection(); foreach ($user->getTickets() as $ticket) { $originalTickets->add($ticket); } if ($this->isFormSubmittedAndValid($form, $request)) { foreach ($originalTickets as $originalTicket) { if (!$user->getTickets()->contains($originalTicket)) { $em->remove($originalTicket); } } }
46. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Set orphanRemoval to true on the attribute /** * @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="Ticket", mappedBy="user", cascade={"persist"}, orphanRemoval=true) */ protected $tickets; NOT RECOMMENDED
47. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Set orphanRemoval to true on the attribute http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/reference/working-with-associations.html
48. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Set orphanRemoval to true on the attribute public function passTicketsAction(User $yelding, User $beneficiary) { foreach ($yelding->getTickets() as $ticket) { $yelding->removeTicket($ticket); $beneficiary->addTicket($ticket); } }
49. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Set orphanRemoval to true on the attribute public function passTicketsAction(User $yelding, User $beneficiary) { foreach ($yelding->getTickets() as $ticket) { $beneficiary->addTicket($ticket); // OR → $ticket->setUser($beneficiary); } }
50. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto FORM DATA FILTERING (for entity and collection type)
51. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto EntityType USE built-in queryBuilder option public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) { $builder ->add(‘foo’, EntityType::class, [ // …. ‘queryBuilder’ => function (FooRepo $fooRepo) { return $fooRepo->filterFunction(); } ]); }
52. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto CollectionType CollectionType does not have any queryBuilder option Declare form as a service an inject repository (entity manager) This is the preferred way if you need the repo Pass repository as an option Usually, options are used for what you cannot inject into service
53. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto EntityManager injection public function __construct(EntityManager $em) { $this->fooRepo = $em->getRepository(Foo::class); } public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) { $builder->add(‘foo’, CollectionType::class, [ // …. 'data' => $this->fooRepo->filterFunction() ]); }
54. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto EntityManager as an option public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) { $fooRepo = $options[‘fooRepo’]; $builder->add(‘foo’, CollectionType::class, [ // …. 'data' => $fooRepo>filterFunction() ]); }
55. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Is repository the only way to filter data? Do I need to create a repository on purpose?
56. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto NO
57. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto What if I need to access entity getters for filter operations?
58. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto FORM EVENTS (overview)
59. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto ->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA, function (FormEvent $e) { /** @var $data User */ $data = $e->getData(); $form = $e->getForm(); $today = new \DateTime(); $criteria = Criteria::create() ->where(Criteria::expr()->gte('date', $today)); $form->add('tickets', CollectionType::class, [ // …. 'data' => $data->getTickets()->matching($criteria) ]); }); }); FORM EVENTS
60. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto /** * @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="Ticket", mappedBy="user", cascade={"persist"}, orphanRemoval=true) */ protected $tickets; • All tickets (entities) filtered out in the event will be removed! • Remove orphanRemoval option from the attribute and handle collection yourself FORM EVENTS
61. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto FORM EVENTS $form = $this->createForm(UserType::class, $user); $originalTickets = new ArrayCollection(); foreach ($form->get('tickets')->getData() as $ticket) { $originalTickets->add($ticket); } if ($this->isFormSubmittedAndValid($form, $request)) { foreach ($originalTickets as $originalTicket) { if ($user->getTickets()->contains($originalTicket)) { continue; } $em->remove($originalTicket); }
62. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto FORM EVENTS $form = $this->createForm(UserType::class, $user); $originalTickets = new ArrayCollection(); foreach ($form->get('tickets')->getData() as $ticket) { $originalTickets->add($ticket); } if ($this->isFormSubmittedAndValid($form, $request)) { foreach ($originalTickets as $originalTicket) { if ($user->getTickets()->contains($originalTicket)) { continue; } $em->remove($originalTicket); }

79. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto TIP Every group of events it’s called from START to END on every FORM. This means that if you have a chain of embedded form, all events are called starting from innermost forms, going up to parent form, ending on top form
80. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto BECAUSE OF THIS
81. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto NEVER SET PARENT DATA FROM CHILD FORM
82. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto EVER!
83. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto DATA TYPES
84. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto DATA TYPES MODEL DATA NORM DATA VIEW DATA
85. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto MODEL DATA Main data type of PRE_SET_DATA and POST_SET_DATA Reppresent data of underlying object. In previous example with product form, product field model data is a Product object. If field type is the same of underlying data, NORM DATA will be the same of MODEL DATA If field type is not the same of underlying data, you must use ModelTransformer to transform MODEL DATA into NORM DATA and vice versa (Don’t worry, we will talk about transformers next!)
86. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto NORM DATA Main data type of SUBMIT event Reppresent data after normalization. Commonly not used directly. If on MODEL DATA is not present any ModelTransform, this is the same of MODEL DATA and so the same of underlying object. If NORM DATA isn’t the same of view reppresentation, you must use ViewTransformer to transform NORM DATA into VIEW DATA and vice versa
87. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto VIEW DATA Main data type of POST_SUBMIT event Reppresent data presented to the View. It’s the data type that you get when you post the form. If on VIEW DATA is not present any ViewTransformer, this is the same of NORM DATA.
88. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto DATA TRANSFORMERS
89. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto MODEL TRANSFORMER
90. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto ENTITY MODEL DATA NORM DATA MODEL TRANSFORMER NEW FORM BIND TRANSFORM REVERSE TRANSFORM
91. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto ENTITY MODEL DATA NORM DATA NEW FORM BIND TRANSFORM REVERSE TRANSFORM MODEL TRANSFORMER
92. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto ENTITY - MODEL DATA /** * @ORM\Column(type="array", nullable=true) */ protected $tags;
93. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto ENTITY MODEL DATA NORM DATA NEW FORM BIND TRANSFORM REVERSE TRANSFORM MODEL TRANSFORMER
94. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto FORM FIELD $builder->add('tags', TextType::class)
95. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Since model data (array) is different from norm data (text) we need a model transformer
96. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto $builder->add('tags', TextType::class); $builder->get(‘tags’)->addModelTransformer(...); FORM FIELD
97. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto ENTITY MODEL DATA NORM DATA NEW FORM BIND TRANSFORM REVERSE TRANSFORM MODEL TRANSFORMER
98. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto TRANSFORM public function transform($tagsArray) { // transform the array to string if (null === $tagsArray) { return ''; } return implode(',', $tagsArray); }

100. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto public function reverseTransform($tagsString) { // transform the string back to an array if (!$tagsString) { return []; } return explode(',', $tagsString); } REVERSE TRANSFORM

102. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto VIEW NORM DATA VIEW DATA CREATE VIEW POST TRANSFORM REVERSE TRANSFORM VIEW TRANSFORMER
103. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto DATE TYPE (TRANSFORM) // Transforms a normalized date into a localized date string/array) public function transform($dateTime) { if (null === $dateTime) { return ''; } if (!$dateTime instanceof \DateTimeInterface) { throw new TransformationFailedException('Expected a \DateTimeInterface.'); } $value = $this->getIntlDateFormatter()->format($dateTime->getTimestamp()); if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) { throw new TransformationFailedException(intl_get_error_message()); } return $value; }
104. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto // Transforms a localized date string/array into a normalized date. public function reverseTransform($value) { if (!is_string($value)) { throw new TransformationFailedException('Expected a string.'); } if ('' === $value) { return; } $timestamp = $this->getIntlDateFormatter()->parse($value); // …. try { $dateTime = new \DateTime(sprintf('@%s', $timestamp)); } catch (\Exception $e) { throw new TransformationFailedException($e->getMessage(), $e->getCode(), $e); } // …. return $dateTime; } DATE TYPE ( REVERSE TRANSFORM)
105. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto FORM EVENTS (reprise)
106. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto PRE SET DATA EVENT Modify data given during pre-population. Don’t modify form data directly but modify event data instead. Add/Remove form fields USED FOR EVENT DATA MODEL DATA
107. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto ->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA, function (FormEvent $e) { /** @var $data User */ $data = $e->getData(); // ← MODEL DATA $form = $e->getForm(); $today = new \DateTime(); $criteria = Criteria::create() ->where(Criteria::expr()->gte('date', $today)); $form->add(‘tickets’, CollectionType::class, [ // …. 'data' => $data->getTickets()->matching($criteria) ]); }); }); PRE_SET_DATA
108. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto ->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA, function (FormEvent $e) { if ($e->getData()->canHandleMail()) { // ← MODEL DATA $e->getForm()->add(‘email’, EmailType::class); } }); }); PRE_SET_DATA
109. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Read pre-populated form data Don’t remove fields that you’ve setted “statically” on form building process. Use PRE_SET_DATA and implement the logic about fields. One exception: you are extending from a parent form where you cannot control yourself the logic. USED FOR EVENT DATA MODEL DATA POST SET DATA EVENT
110. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto class FooType extends BarType { // …. // email field added in BarType ->addEventListener(FormEvents::POST_SET_DATA, function (FormEvent $e) { if (!$e->getData()->canHandleMail()) { // ← MODEL DATA $e->getForm()->remove(‘email’); } }); }); POST_SET_DATA
111. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Change data from the request Add/Remove form fields USED FOR EVENT DATA REQUEST DATA (ARRAY) PRE SUBMIT EVENT
112. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto private $canModifyEmail = true; ->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA, function (FormEvent $e) { $this->canModifyEmail = $e->getData()->canModifyEmail(); $e->getForm()->add(‘email, EmailType::class, [ // …. ‘attr’ => [ ‘disabled’ => !$this->canModifyEmail ], ]); }) ->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SUBMIT, function (FormEvent $e) { if (!$this->canModifyEmail) { $e->getForm()->remove(‘email’); } }); }); PRE_SUBMIT
113. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Modify NormData No real example will be showed EVENT DATA NORM DATA SUBMIT EVENT USED FOR
114. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Fetch data after denormalization Even if faster to read “final” data here, don’t implement any business logic → hard to test and break SRP. If you need to modify model data, do it elsewhere just after isValid call. USED FOR EVENT DATA VIEW DATA POST SUBMIT EVENT
115. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto POST SUBMIT $builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::POST_SUBMIT, function (FormEvent $event) use ($handler) { $delete = $event->getForm()->has('delete') ? $event->getForm()->get('delete')->getData() : false; $entity = $event->getForm()->getParent()->getData(); if (!$delete) { return; } $handler->remove($entity, $event->getForm()->getName()); }); Vich\uploader-bundle
116. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto VALUE OBJECTS
117. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Two object are equal if their all fields are equal, not necessary if they are the same object
118. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto NO SETTERS
119. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto CONSTRUCTOR
120. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Class FooBar { private $foo; private $bar; public function __construct($foo, $bar) { $this->foo = $foo; $this->bar = $bar; } public function getFoo(){ … } public function getBar(){ … } }
121. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Class FooBarType extends AbstractType { public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) { $builder ->add(‘foo’) ->add(‘bar’); } public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver) { $resolver->setDefaults([ ‘empty_data’ => function (FormInterface $interface) { return new FooBar($interface->get(‘foo’)->getData(), $interface->get(‘bar’)->getData()); }, ]); } }
122. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto PROPERTY PATH
123. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Class User { //…. /* * @ORM\OneToOne(targetEntity=”Address”, inversedBy=”user”) */ protected $address; //…. }
124. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Class Address { //…. /** * @ORM\OneToOne(targetEntity=”User”, mappedBy=”address”) */ protected $user; /** * @ORM\Column(type=”string”) */ protected $street; /** * @ORM\Column(type=”string”) */ protected $number; }
125. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto DON’T CREATE AN EMBEDDED FORM ON PURPOSE
126. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto DON’T USE UNMAPPED FIELDS AND FORM EVENTS
127. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto USE PROPERTY PATH!
128. Samuele Lilli - DonCallisto Class UserType extends AbstractType { public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) { // …. $builder ->add(‘street’, TextType::class, [‘property_path’ => ‘address.street’]) ->add(‘number’, TextType::class, [‘property_path’ => ‘address.number’]); } }
