This PR enables usage of empty string as a form name (only at root level).
If you use the MinLength validator with your entities, the ValidatorTypeGuesser gets the value, stored as "minlength". Then, the FormFactory generates a "pattern" attribute out of minlength and maxlength.
Modern browsers such as Chrome use this attribute to validate the form before submitting.
a "pattern" attribute is generated that validates the

[Form] Automatically setting "data_class" option if objects are passed at the creation of a form
[Form] Improved the way passed data is handled in FormFactory
[Form] Simplified FileType code
[HttpFoundation] TemporaryStorage automatically creates the directory if it doesn't exist yet
[Form] Changed FormBuilder::build() to FormBuilder::create(). You hvae to pass the resulting builder to FormBuilder::add() manually now
[Form] Added FieldTypeValidatorExtension and fixed FQCN of DelegatingValidator
With implementations of this interface, existing types can be amended.
The Csrf extension, for example, now contains a class FormTypeCsrfExtension
that adds CSRF capabilities to the "form" type.
To register new type extensions in the DIC, tag them with "form.type_extension"
and the name of the extended type as alias.
The extension classes are now the only constructor argument of the FormFactory class. They replace the existing "type loader" classes.
new FormFactory(array(
new CoreExtension($validator, $storage),
new CsrfExtension($csrfProvider),
new DoctrineOrmExtension($em),
));
Together with a few upcoming commits this mechanism will make
* extension of the form framework in bundles and
* usage of the forms outside of Symfony2
much easier.
The data can now be passed to all creation methods:
$form = $factory->create('form', $data);
By default, a form will receive the name of its type ("form" in above example). If you wish to pass a custom name, use createNamed():
$form = $factory->createNamed('form', 'myform', $data);
Moving the template context creation makes sense and allows for simpler code for the end user:
Before:
return array('post' => $post, 'form' => $this->get('form.factory')->createTemplateContext($form));
After:
return array('post' => $post, 'form' => $form->getContext());
