I have and entity A wich relates oneToMany with entity B. I want the user to have the option of selecting from existing B entities or create a new one on the form of type A. So far I have this on my form:
->add('ExistingB', 'entity', array(
'class' => 'AppBundle\Entity\B',
'required' => false,
'property_path' => 'B',
'mapped' => false,
))
->add('newB', new BType(), array(
'required' => false,
'property_path' => 'B',
'mapped' => false,
));
$builder->addEventListener(
FormEvents::POST_SUBMIT , function (FormEvent $event) {
$formB= $event->getForm()->get('newB');
if ($formB->get('name')->getData() != null){
//here i need to somehow say to the form that it needs to set mapped true
//to the formB field so it can create a new entity and update the relationship
}else{
//here I need to do the same but with the ExistingB field
}
}
);`
I cant find how to change the mapped atribute, and the times I got it, it doenst create the entity. I suppose thats becasuse in the post_submit event its too late for changes on the fields since the data is already downloaded to the A entity. Buuut.. if I use the pre_submit event, then I cant get the data of the child formB, since it always gives me null when I ask for it.
So... where is my big mistake? Somebody can show me another way to deal with new or existing feature in synfony2 forms. I really cant believe that it could be that hard to implement so common behavior.
Thanks so much in advance
