I'm trying to build app based on REST api ang AngularJS. I've been following this tutorial http://npmasters.com/2012/11/25/Symfony2-Rest-FOSRestBundle.html but have to change some details ( depreciated methods ) and right now when I post to create new entity I get 'This form should not contain extra fields' error.
class MainController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction(Request $request)
{
$form = $this->createForm(new TaskType(),null,array('action' => $this->generateUrl('post_tasks').'.json'))
->add('submit','submit');
$note_form = $this->createForm(new NoteType())
->add('submit','submit');
return $this->render('MyBundle:Main:index.html.twig',
array(
'form'=>$form->createView(),
'note_form'=>$note_form->createView(),
)
);
}
}
my TaskType form:
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('timeStart','datetime',array(
'date_widget' => 'single_text',
'time_widget' => 'single_text',
'date_format' => 'yyyy-MM-dd',
'data' => new \DateTime('now')
))
->add('timeStop','datetime',array(
'date_widget' => 'single_text',
'time_widget' => 'single_text',
'date_format' => 'yyyy-MM-dd',
'data' => new \DateTime('now')
))
->add('project')
->add('descriptionTask')
->add('isCompleted',null,array('required' => false))
->add('isVisible',null,array('required' => false))
;
}
right now in my view I'm rendering only one form BUT I'M IN THE TEST STAGE:
{%extends 'MyBundle::layout.html.twig' %}
{%block content %}
<div ng-view></div>
{{ form(form) }}
{% endblock %}
AND this is the REST controller which is supposed to flush given entity:
public function cpostAction(Request $request)
{
$entity = new Task();
$form = $this->createForm(new TaskType(), $entity);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isValid()) {
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist($entity);
$em->flush();
return $this->redirectView(
$this->generateUrl(
'get_organisation',
array('id' => $entity->getId())
),
Codes::HTTP_CREATED
);
}
return array(
'form' => $form,
);
}
WEIRD THING: when I put the same code from REST controller to MainController, then form is validated and new entity is being flushed, but somehow REST controller throws error...
If you wanna disable fields validation, you must add
And in buildForm method:
For more details: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/form/dynamic_form_modification.html#cookbook-dynamic-form-modification-suppressing-form-validation
Its because when you are generating the form you are adding submit buttons but when you are validating them you are not. try:
The submit button is technically a field even though symfony wont map it to an entity property by default. So when you generate the form with a submit button and then submit that form the form you generate in your validation controller action needs to also have a submit button.
If you are adding a single SubmitType button or similar, you use the solution Chausser indicated
However, in case you are using a CollectionType and embedding a set of sub forms, you need to include 'allow_add' => true in your parameters for that type. For example, in your EntityType form builder:
Make sure you do that for all levels of embedding if you have multiple levels.
If you want the validator to ignore additional fields you should try passing
'allow_extra_fields' => true
as an option to the FormBuilder.
