VichUploaderBundle: adding Image through Post From not working - php

Question

I'm using VichUploader in my Symfony2.3 application. I created one to one relationship between my Post entity and Image entity and I'm using Data Transformer for adding images through Post Form. Everything is working well, I'm getting no exception but post_id is not saved in Image table in database. Probably because of that every image I want to post is broken.
I would appreciate any help!

Answer 1

You don't need any data transformer, but you should use 'vich_image' type instead of 'file' type.
Add cascade={"persist"} option to oneToOne annotation in your Post entity.
