ZF2 form with fieldset and doctrine not working - php

Question

I have a problem with a form, fieldset and doctrine.
This is my edit form. In this form I add the User Fieldset and add another field "password" (that I use only in this form).
EditUserForm:
class EditUserForm extends Form implements InputFilterProviderInterface
{
public function __construct($name = null, $options = [])
{
parent::__construct($name, $options);
$this->setAttribute('method', 'post');
$this->setHydrator(new ClassMethods(false));
$this->setObject(new User());
$this->add([
'name' => 'user',
'type' => 'Application\Form\UserFieldset',
'options' => [
'use_as_base_fieldset' => true
]
]);
$this->add([
'name' => 'password',
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Password',
'attributes' => [
'id' => 'password'
]
]);
}
public function getInputFilterSpecification()
{
return [
'password' => [
'required' => true
],
];
}
}
UserFieldset:
class UserFieldset extends Fieldset implements InputFilterProviderInterface
{
public function __construct($name = null, $options = [])
{
parent::__construct($name, $options);
$this->setHydrator(new ClassMethods(false));
$this->setObject(new User());
$this->add([
'name' => 'name',
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Text',
'attributes' => [
'id' => 'name'
]
]);
$this->add([
'name' => 'surname',
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Text',
'attributes' => [
'id' => 'surname'
]
]);
}
public function getInputFilterSpecification()
{
return [
'name' => [
'required' => true
],
'surname' => [
'required' => true
],
];
}
}
Why if I try to var_dump(form->getData()) does the entity does not have the password field?
object(Application\Entity\User)[114]
private 'name' => string 'john' (length=4)
private 'surname' => string 'smith' (length=5)
private 'password' => null
thanks.

Answer 1

The password needs to be part of the UserFieldset as you're setting the UserFieldset as base-fieldset. If you choose a base-fieldset, only this fieldset will be hydrated recursively.
