This package is abandoned in favor of greg0ire/enum

EnumBundle

Integrates greg0ire/enum in a Symfony2 project. This actually not a real bundle yet but :

• it has a dependency on symfony/form
• it could become a real bundle someday, if something needs to be configured

Installation

composer require greg0ire/enum-bundle

Usage

The bundle provides its own BaseEnum class. It inherits from greg0ire/enum's BaseEnum class and provides an additional method, getChoices(), which is meant to be used as value for the choices option of a choice widget. It has a mandatory parameter, which is a sprintf format string and let's you choose how to generate your labels.

<?php
use Greg0ire\EnumBundle\BaseEnum;

final class ColorType extends BaseEnum
{
    const
        BLACK_WHITE = 'black-white',
        COLOR       = 'color',
        COLORIZED   = 'colorized' ;
}

A few moments later, in another file…

<?php

class MyType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder->add(
            'aspect_ratio',
            'choice',
            array('choices' => ColorType::getChoices('color_type_%s'))
        );
    }
}

You then need to create translations for :

• color_type_black-white
• color_type_color
• color_type_colorized

The first argument to getChoices() is optional, and the value will be used directly as a label should you choose not to specify it. This makes sense if you decide to have a translation catalogue just for your enumeration. The second argument, choicesAsValues only takes effect if your symfony version is < 3.0 and >= 2.7. It defaults to false for the moment, so that B.C. is kept. If you use symfony >= 2.8 and < 3.0, you will get a deprecation notice unless you set it to true and set choices_as_values option to true.
