Hidden entity type for Symfony forms.

What is it?

This is a Symfony form type that allows you to add an entity in your form that would be displayed as a hidden input.

Installation

Step 1: Download HiddenEntityTypeBundle using composer

$ composer require sasedev/hidden-entity-type-bundle

Composer will install the bundle to your project's vendor directory.

Step 2: Enable the bundle

Enable the bundle in the config if flex it did´nt do it for you:

<?php
// config/bundles.php

return [
    // ...
    Sasedev\HiddenEntityTypeBundle\SasedevHiddenEntityTypeBundle::class => ['all' => true],
    // ...
];

Usage

Simple usage:

You can use the type in your forms just like this:

<?php

use Sasedev\HiddenEntityTypeBundle\Form\Type\HiddenEntityType;

// ...
$builder->add('entity', HiddenEntityType::class, array(
    'class' => YourBundleEntity::class
));

You can also use the HiddenDocumentType::class type:

<?php

use Sasedev\HiddenEntityTypeBundle\Form\Type\HiddenDocumentType;

// ...
$builder->add('document', HiddenDocumentType::class, array(
    'class' => YourBundleDocument::class
));

There is only one required option "class". You must specify entity class in Symfony format that you want to be used in your form.

Advanced usage:

You can use the HiddenEntityType or HiddenDocumentType type in your forms this way:

<?php
// ...
$builder->add('entity', HiddenEntityType::class, array(
    'class' => YourBundleEntity::class, // required
    'property' => 'entity_id', // Mapped property name (default is 'id'), not required
    'multiple' => false, // support for an array of entities, not required
    'data' => $entity, // Field value by default, not required
    'invalid_message' => 'The entity does not exist.', // Message that would be shown if no entity found, not required
));
