Symfony Embed a Collection of Forms multiple tables - php

Question

I have 3 tables/entities. I am trying to create form to persist data to all 3 table in one form. Entitities are to long that is why I haven't added here.
Entity Client I made an array collection in Client entity for other 2 entities.
protected $Clientservice;
protected $Hostingaccount;
public function __construct()
{
$this->Clientservice = new ArrayCollection();
$this->Hostingaccount= new ArrayCollection();
}
public function getClientservice()
{
return $this->Clientservice;
}
public function getHostingaccount()
{
return $this->Hostingaccount;
}
public function setClientservice($Clientservice)
{
$this->Clientservice = $Clientservice;
return $this;
}
public function setHostingaccount($Hostingaccount)
{
$this->Hostingaccount = $Hostingaccount;
return $this;
}
And I Have 3 forms:
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('CustomerID',IntegerType::class)
->add('Sex',TextType::class)
->add('Name',TextType::class)
->add('FirstName',TextType::class)
->add('LastName',TextType::class)
->add('Email', EmailType::class)
->add('Invoiceemail', EmailType::class)
->add('Iban', TextType::class)
->add('Bic', TextType::class)
->add('SEPAMandateID', TextType::class)
->add('LogoUrl', TextType::class)
->add('CreationDate', DateType::class)
->add('Clientservice', CollectionType::class, array(
'entry_type' => WhmAdminClientserviceType::class
))
->add('Hostingaccount', CollectionType::class, array(
'entry_type' => WhmAdminHostingAccountType::class
))
->getForm();
}
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => Client::class
));
}
Clientservice form
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('Description',TextType::class);
}
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => Clientservice::class
));
}
Hostingaccount form:
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('Domain',TextType::class)
->add('Domainip',IntegerType::class)
->add('UserName',TextType::class)
->add('Owner',TextType::class);
}
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => Hostingaccount::class
));
}
In my controller I have the code like this:
public function AddWhmAdminAction(Request $request)
{
$Client = new Client();
$form = $this->createForm(WhmAdminType::class, $Client);
$form->add('submit', SubmitType::class, array(
'label' => 'Create',
'attr' => array('class' => 'btn btn-default pull-left')
));
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist($Client);
$em->flush();
$this->get('session')->getFlashBag()->add('green', 'Product created!');
return $this->redirectToRoute('whmAdmin');
// flash msg
}
//return $form->createView();
$build['form'] = $form->createView();
return $this->render('whm/WhmAdminForm.html.twig', $build);
}
and in my view
{{ form_start(form) }}
{% for flashMessage in app.session.flashbag.get('green') %}
{{ flashMessage }}
{% endfor %}
{{ form_end(form) }}
I followed http://symfony.com/doc/current/form/form_collections.html and this is how far I got.
My form only shows the fields from Client. It does not shows field from Clientservice and hostingaccount. How can I show the fields from clientservice and hostingaccount in the same form as Client.

Answer 1

If the Clientservice and Hostingaccount are in OneToOne or ManyToOne relationship then change:
->add('Clientservice', CollectionType::class, array(
'entry_type' => WhmAdminClientserviceType::class
))
->add('Hostingaccount', CollectionType::class, array(
'entry_type' => WhmAdminHostingAccountType::class
))
to:
->add('Clientservice', WhmAdminClientserviceType::class)
->add('Hostingaccount', WhmAdminHostingAccountType::class)
Otherwise leave your form builders and read about adding and removing items in collection type.
