Symfony, Keep Get Argumments in Search form after submit - php

Question

Hi,
i have created a search form using GET method, to my indexAction, the form contains virtual fields.
i created the logic for searching inside the indexAction.
My problem is when i submit the form, all inputs values become empty.
What i want is to keep the values passed as arguments in form inputs
here is my FormType :
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) {
$builder
->add('title', TextType::class, array(
'required' => false,
'attr' => array(
'placeholder' => 'Chercher',
)
))
->add('client', EntityType::class, array(
'required' => false,
'class' => 'AppBundle:Person',
'placeholder' => 'Choisir client',
'attr' => array(
'class' => 'select2',
)
))
->add('date_start', DateTimeType::class, array(
'required' => false,
'input' => 'datetime',
'widget' => 'single_text',
'format' => 'dd-MM-yyyy',
'inherit_data' => true,
'attr' => array(
'name' => 'date_start',
'class' => 'datepicker',
'placeholder' => 'Date début',
'value' => ''
)
))
->add('date_end', DateTimeType::class, array(
'required' => false,
'input' => 'datetime',
'widget' => 'single_text',
'format' => 'dd-MM-yyyy',
'inherit_data' => true,
'attr' => array(
'name' => 'date_end',
'class' => 'datepicker',
'placeholder' => 'Date fin',
'value' => ''
)
))
;
}
The indexAction :
public function indexAction(Request $request)
{
$getArgs = $request->query->get('order');
dump($getArgs);
$form = $this->createForm('AppBundle\Form\Search\OrderType', new Order(), array('get' => $getArgs));
$form->handleRequest($request);
$repo = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('AppBundle:Order');
$query = $getArgs ? $repo->findAllMatched($q) : $repo->createQueryBuilder('o');
$paginator = $this->get('knp_paginator');
$orders = $paginator->paginate($query);
return $this->render('AppBundle:Order:index.html.twig', array(
'orders' => $orders,
'form' => $form->createView(),
));
}
Any suggestions are wellcome.

For now, i resolved the problem in this way :
<div class="nav box-search">
<form method="GET" class="form-inline">
<div class="pull-right">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">{{ 'actions.search' | trans }}</button>
</div>
<div class="pull-left">
{% set params = app.request.query.all %}
{{- form_widget(form.title, { 'attr': {'value': params.order.title| default('')} }) -}}
{{ form_widget(form.client, {value: params.order.client| default('') }) }}
{{- form_widget(form.date_start, { 'attr': {'value': params.order.date_start| default('')} }) -}}
<i class="fa fa-exchange"></i>
{{- form_row(form.date_end, { 'attr': {'value': params.order.date_end| default('')} }) -}}
</div>
</form>
</div>
It's not that bad solution, but what i would is to have this parameters configuration in the FormType.
