DynamicFormBundle
=================
[](https://codecov.io/gh/zikula/DynamicFormBundle)
The `DynamicFormBundle` offers helpers for handling dynamic form fields (forms built from definitions stored in
the database). This can be helpful for several applications where a site admin (not the developer) needs to configure
the fields of a form, like contact forms, surveys or exams, employment applications, etc.
#### [An example SurveyMaker application is available](https://github.com/zikula/DynamicFormBundleExample).
Installation
============
Make sure Composer is installed globally, as explained in the
[installation chapter](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md)
of the Composer documentation.
Applications that use Symfony Flex
----------------------------------
Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute:
```console
$ composer require zikula/dynamic-form-bundle
```
Applications that don't use Symfony Flex
----------------------------------------
### Step 1: Download the Bundle
Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the
following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:
```console
$ composer require zikula/dynamic-form-bundle
```
### Step 2: Enable the Bundle
Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles
in the `config/bundles.php` file of your project:
```php
// config/bundles.php
return [
// ...
Zikula\Bundle\DynamicFormBundle\ZikulaDynamicFormBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];
```
Getting Started
---------------
In order to implement this bundle, the developer must create three entities:
1. A 'container' Entity that holds both:
1. The form specifications (OneToMany)
2. The response data (OneToMany)
3. This _may_ extend `AbstractSpecificationContainer`
2. A 'wrapper' Entity that defines the form specification.
1. This **must** extend `AbstractFormSpecification`
3. A 'response' Entity to contain the data responses to the forms.
1. This **must** extend `AbstractResponseData`
Form Creation: the 'Building' form
----------------------------------
The `Zikula\Bundle\DynamicFormBundle\Form\Type\FormSpecificationCollectionType` formType is a collection of Form
Specifications in your form. You must define the `entry_type` to be your own 'wrapper' Entity (item 2 above). Each
member of the collection provides a form type to define all the needed details of a formType (a `FormSpecification`).
Form options are loaded using ajax and dynamically added/replaced in the form.
```php
$builder
->add('questions', FormSpecificationCollectionType::class, [
'entry_options' => [
'data_class' => Question::class // required
],
])
```
**IMPORTANT NOTE**: The Javascript for these actions is automatically loaded. However, the javascript is jQuery-based.
Therefore, **you must include jQuery in your front-end assets.**
Form Creation: The 'Responding' form
------------------------------------
The bundle also provides the `Zikula\Bundle\DynamicFormBundle\Form\Type\DynamicFieldsType` formType. This
provides for inclusion of the defined dynamic fields. The formType requires the `specificationContainer` object.
This object implements `Zikula\Bundle\DynamicFormBundle\Container\SpecificationContainerInterface`. This can be your
'Container' object (item 1 above) or possibly another provider like a Repository. The object must provide a list of form
specifications (as defined by the 'wrapper' class). This list can be optionally sorted or filtered as required.
Example:
```php
$builder->add('survey', DynamicFieldsType::class, [
'specificationContainer' => $myContainer,
]);
```
### More information
- see [Additional Documentation](docs/index.md)
- This bundle suggests [scienta/doctrine-json-functions](https://github.com/ScientaNL/DoctrineJsonFunctions)
- You must configure the DoctrineJsonFunctions bundle at the application level. It is not done automatically.
