i wrote a sample test case for collection like class but weird thing about this is in my testAdd method that i add a item in CustomCollectionService and it changed my parameter too. how can this happend?
class CustomCollectionService
{
/**
* #var Collection $collection
*/
public $collection;
public function makeCollection($arr)
{
$this->collection = collect($arr);
}
/**
* #param Collection $collection
*/
public function setCollection(Collection $collection): void
{
$this->collection = $collection;
}
/**
* #return mixed
*/
public function getCollection()
{
return $this->collection;
}
public function add($item)
{
return $this->collection->add($item);
}
}
and this is my test:
class CustomCollectionTest extends TestCase
{
public $collectionService;
public $collection;
protected function setUp(): void
{
$this->collectionService = new CustomCollectionService();
}
public function testCollectionCreator()
{
$arr = ['sina','1',5];
$this->assertIsArray($arr);
return $arr;
}
/**
* #param $arr
* #depends testCollectionCreator
*/
public function testAction($arr)
{
$this->collectionService->makeCollection($arr);
$this->assertIsArray($this->collectionService->getCollection()->toArray());
return $this->collectionService->getCollection();
}
/**
* #depends testAction
*/
public function testAdd($col)
{
$actualCount = $col->count();
$this->collectionService->setCollection($col);
$manipulatedCollection = $this->collectionService->add(['xx']);
dump($actualCount); // 3
dump($col->count()); //4
$this->assertEquals($actualCount+1, $manipulatedCollection->count());
}
}
Because it is an object. So when you pass the $col object to the CollectionService and call the add method within the CollectionService, it is still the $col object from your test method that is being used.
I'm using a builder pattern to create an object, call methods, and return back to the calling object.
class Caller{
public function invoke() {
new Builder($this)->setColor('red')->setSize(5)-> // need typehint for Caller to return here
}
public function next() {
}
}
class Builder{
/**
* #var ????
*/
private $caller;
/**
* #param ???? $caller
*/
public function __construct($caller) {
$this->caller = $caller;
}
public function setColor($color) {
$this->color = $color;
return $this;
}
/**
* #param int $size
* #return ????
*/
public function setSize($size) {
$this->size = $size;
return $this->caller;
}
}
There is a way to invoke a parent method and return the child typehints by specifying $this as the return type in the parent class, but how can I reference a separate class type stored in $this->caller as the return type and get the typehints?
I'm having an issue, and I don't know how to fix it. I'm doing a CRUD for categories on a webiste.
We can Have 2 types of Categories, categorieParent and each Categoriehaving one categorieParent.
I've mae the CRUD with the make:form But when I submit the form the following error appear :
Expected argument of type "integer or null",
"App\Entity\CategorieParent" given at property path
"categorie_parent_id".
Here are my ENTITY :

Can you explain me what i get wrong ? Thanks a lot.
Look at this part:
/**
* #ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="App\Entity\CategorieParent", inversedBy="categorie_id")
*/
private $categorie_parent_id;
While your attribute name is categorie_parent_id, it won't return an ID. Doctrine hydrates this field into an object. It will return a CategorieParent object (or null) instead. Consider removing the _id part of this attribute name, because it doesn't hold an integer but an object.
Update your methods:
public function getCategorieParentId(): ?CategorieParent
{
return $this->categorie_parent_id;
}
public function setCategorieParentId(?CategorieParent $categorie_parent_id): self
{
$this->categorie_parent_id = $categorie_parent_id;
return $this;
}
Been trying for hours and hours to get my multi entity form to work, but it really breaks my head and none of the examples I've found work.
I checked the Collection form type documentation and form collections, as well as the Entity form type.
I have a User entity, UserRole entity and a Role entity.
UserRole contains a userID and a roleID. Just a linking table.
The form shows fields to create a User and I want to be able to as well select a new Role for the new user. So I've tried to use the EntityType, a select dropdown shows with all the roles nicely (only if i add the option mapped => false), but doesn't process after form submit.
It's data is not in the $form->getData(), the user gets created, the user_role entry never created.
If I try it without the mapped => false it throws me:
Could not determine access type for property "user_roles" in class "App\Entity\User": The property "user_roles" in class "App\Entity\User" can be defined with the methods "addUserRole()", "removeUserRole()" but the new value must be an array or an instance of \Traversable, "App\Entity\Role" given..
Code:
$form = $this->createFormBuilder(new User)
... //other add entries
->add('user_roles', EntityType::class, array(
'label' => 'Group (role)',
'class' => Role::class,
'choice_label' => 'name',
// 'mapped' => false, // Form works when false, but doesn't save/create UserRole entry
))
->getForm();
$form->handleRequest($request);
Using the CollectionType it's not showing a select dropdown at all.
Code:
$form = $this->createFormBuilder($user)
.... //other add entries
->add('user_roles', CollectionType::class, array(
'entry_type' => ChoiceType::class,
'entry_options' => array(
'choices' => $roleChoices,
),
))
->getForm();
$form->handleRequest($request);
Am I missing something in my Controller's code or do I misunderstand the use of the Form types? I really have no clue what I'm doing wrong.

In Symfony, to get non-mapped form data, try doing like this.
$data = $form->getData();
$roles = $form->get("user_roles")->getData();
Also, noted one thing. Shouldn't the class be UserRole::class instead of Role::class, in the code block below.
$form = $this->createFormBuilder(new User)
... //other add entries
->add('user_roles', EntityType::class, array(
'label' => 'Group (role)',
'class' => Role::class,
'choice_label' => 'name',
// 'mapped' => false, // Form works when false, but doesn't save/create UserRole entry
))
->getForm();
Hope this helps,
Cheers..
The general way you have chosen is okay. Stick with the EntityType and remove the mapped = false, this would tell Symfony to ignore the field.
I guess the problem is: you have a mixture of $this->user_role and $this->user_roles in your class, probably a renamed variable. Clean this up first in __construct(), addUserRole(), removeUserRole(), getUserRoles(), getUserRole().
Then add a method
public function setUserRoles($userRoles)
{
$this->user_roles = new ArrayCollection();
foreach ($userRoles as $role) {
$this->addUserRole($role);
}
return $this;
}
Here are 3 entities :
Entity A
class EntityA
{
/**
* #ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="EntityB", mappedBy="entityA", cascade={"all"}, orphanRemoval=true)
*/
protected $entitiesB;
public function __construct()
{
$this->entitiesB = new ArrayCollection();
}
public function getEntitiesB()
{
return $this->entitiesB;
}
public function setEntitiesB($entitiesB)
{
$this->entitiesB = new ArrayCollection();
return $this->addEntitiesB($entitiesB);
}
public function addEntityB(EntityB $entityB)
{
if (!$this->entitiesB->contains($entityB))
{
$this->entitiesB->add($entityB);
$entityB->setEntityA($this);
}
return $this;
}
public function addEntitiesB($entitiesB)
{
foreach ($entitiesB as $entityB)
{
$this->addEntityB($entityB);
}
return $this;
}
public function removeEntityB(EntityB $entityB)
{
if ($this->entitiesB->contains($entityB))
{
$this->entitiesB->removeElement($entityB);
}
return $this;
}
public function removeEntitiesB($entitiesB)
{
foreach ($entitiesB as $entityB)
{
$this->removeEntityB($entityB);
}
return $this;
}
}
Entity B
class EntityB
{
/**
*
* #ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="EntityC", mappedBy="entityB", cascade={"all"}, orphanRemoval=true)
*/
protected $entitiesC;
/**
* #ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="EntityA", inversedBy="entitiesB")
* #ORM\JoinColumn(name="entity_a_id", referencedColumnName="id", onDelete="CASCADE")
*/
protected $entityA;
public function __construct()
{
$this->entitiesC = new ArrayCollection();
}
public function getEntityA()
{
return $this->entityA;
}
public function setEntityA(EntityA $entityA)
{
$this->entityA = $entityA;
$entityA->addEntityB($this);
return $this;
}
public function getEntitiesC()
{
return $this->entitiesC;
}
public function setEntitiesC($entitiesC)
{
$this->entitiesC = new ArrayCollection();
return $this->addEntitiesC($entitiesC);
}
public function addEntityC(EntityC $entityC)
{
if (!$this->entitiesC->contains($entityC))
{
$this->entitiesC->add($entityC);
$entityC->setEntityB($this);
}
return $this;
}
public function addEntitiesC($entitiesC)
{
foreach ($entitiesC as $entityC)
{
$this->addEntityC($entityC);
}
return $this;
}
public function removeEntityC(EntityC $entityC)
{
if ($this->entitiesC->contains($entityC))
{
$this->entitiesC->removeElement($entityC);
}
return $this;
}
public function removeEntitiesC($entitiesC)
{
foreach ($entitiesC as $entityC)
{
$this->removeEntityC($entityC);
}
return $this;
}
}
Entity C
class EntityC
{
/**
* #ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="EntityB", inversedBy="entitiesC")
* #ORM\JoinColumn(name="entity_b_id", referencedColumnName="id", onDelete="CASCADE")
*/
protected $entityB;
public function getEntityB()
{
return $this->entityB;
}
public function setEntityB(EntityB $entityB)
{
$this->entityB = $entityB;
$entityB->addEntityC($this);
return $this;
}
}
So, now, assume that we have this data :
EntityA [
EntitiesB [
EntityB1 [
EntitiesC [
EntityC1
EntityC2
EntityC3
]
]
EntityB2 [
EntitiesC [
EntityC4
]
]
]
]
That I want is to transfer EntityC4 to the EntityB1[EntitieC] collection.
To achieve that, the process would be :
- EntityB2.EntitiesC::removeEntityC(EntityC4)
- EntityB1.EntitiesC::addEntity(EntityC4)
But it will not do the trick ... EntityC4 is removed and not transferred !
So, it works when orphanRemoval=false on EntityB.EntitiesC, but I want to keep this Doctrine flag.
Is it another way to achieve that properly ?
Thanks for your ideas.
If you read the Doctrine documentation chapter 8.7. Orphan Removal you can see the following:
When using the orphanRemoval=true option Doctrine makes the assumption that the entities are privately owned and will NOT be reused by other entities. If you neglect this assumption your entities will get deleted by Doctrine even if you assigned the orphaned entity to another one.
Seems to me that this this is exactly the mistake you are making in this case.
You simply cannot use orphanRemoval in this case.
