Description
I don't know if it is an expected behavior,
but when using an Embed Collection of Forms,
when you try to access the bound data with $builder->getData(), the result is null.
// src/Form/TaskType.php
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options): void
{
$builder->add('tags', CollectionType::class, [
'entry_type' => TagType::class,
]);
}
// src/Form/TagType.php
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options): void
{
$builder->getData(); // <-- Is null
}
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver): void
{
$resolver->setDefaults([
'data_class' => Tag::class,
]);
}You need to go through the PRE_SET_DATA eventListener to get the data with $event->getData().
// src/Form/TagType.php
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options): void
{
$builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA, function(FormEvent $event) {
$event->getData(); // <-- Is OK
});
}
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver): void
{
$resolver->setDefaults([
'data_class' => Tag::class,
]);
}Even worth, when the form (which call the CollectionType) sets the by_reference to false,
the entire form must to be inside a PRE_SET_DATA event.
// src/Form/TaskType.php
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options): void
{
$builder->add('tags', CollectionType::class, [
'entry_type' => TagType::class,
'by_reference' => false, // $event->getData() inside TagType::class will be null
]);
}// src/Form/TaskType.php
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options): void
{
$builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA, function(FormEvent $event) {
$form = $event->getForm();
$form->add('tags', CollectionType::class, [
'entry_type' => TagType::class,
'by_reference' => false, // $event->getData() is OK
]);
});
}If it is a thing,
I think it is worth mentioning that somewhere in the doc.
