[Form] Added ability to set "empty_value" for choice list
Hey,
This PR is similar to #1336, but this one is fully test covered and have few change in behavior:
- if choice field is not set as non-required, `empty_value` is not added automaticly,
- also `empty_value` is not set if field have option `multiple` or `expanded`,
- `empty_value` for `DateType` and `TimeType` can be set "global" or per field, i.e.:
```
$builder->add('date', 'choice', array('required' => false, 'empty_value' => array('day' => 'Choose day')));
```
- `DateType` and `TimeType` code was cleaned a bit,
- added missing option to set up choice list as required when using PHP templates

@fabpot I'm just not sure is that change with removing "auto-adding" of `empty_value` is good (probably BC)

Now this is a really nice way to hijack work done by others. Really encourages newcomers. Gratz!

@lenar: if the code in this PR is yours (at least partly), I'm not going to merge it. @stloyd, can you clarify this issue with @lenar? Thanks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lenar at 2011/06/20 06:21:11 -0700
It's @helmer's mostly, not mine, but the issue stays.

No matter who the code belongs to, Git allows us to keep track of all contributors. So, we need to do our best to not loose any code ownership.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by helmer at 2011/06/20 06:58:03 -0700
I do not care much for ownership, just that this kind of cooperation (or lack thereof) is kind of exhausting. Closed#1336.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stloyd at 2011/06/20 07:47:53 -0700
@fabpot, @lenar: This PR is inspired by #1336, made by @helmer, but after looking at his code and talking with him, we cant (IMO) get an consensus. So I wrote this PR as an another way to fix issue described in #1336.
__Summary__: I don't think this one is better than fix at #1336, it's more like another approach to fix that issue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by helmer at 2011/06/20 08:15:59 -0700
@stloyd: I actually think your variant is better, so good job there, thanks.
It just ain't nice to:
1) Comment on my changes being useless due to lack of tests
2) Writing brand new testsuite from your perspective that "proves" my approach is "wrong" (while ignoring my answers, why I did something precisely like I did, which I did in sync with @fabpot comments on his first attempt to improve the issue)
3) Saying my PR is broken because your new tests against it fail
4) Changing functionality to "fix" something that was not really broken
Other than that, I wanted to contribute a few lines to improve something relatively simple, and it ended up in a huge mess with more lost hours than I planned to spend on it.
On the bright side, we ended up with something good (:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stloyd at 2011/06/20 08:32:30 -0700
@helmer: 1) & 2) Sorry for that "bad language", but you get me wrong a bit. Tests was written for code in master (there was no problem to change them to work with your POV). 3) Same as before, you can adopt tests easily, but never mind. Maybe later we could cooperate better ;-)
About 4) I mentioned it in description of this PR and that was point I was disagreeing with you (also about how "default" options are adopted in fields) :-)

[Form] Added support for additional attributes
Added support for additional attributes in Form types that list field as their parent.
This is needed particularity for html5 data and data- attributes support, unfortunately $options['data'] is already taken, so adding a general $options['attributes'] is the easiest solution without breaking BC.
Now I know that this will be tempting for some to stuck style and class attributes here also, but I'd rather not restrict the keys that are passed in.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Seldaek at 2011/05/22 14:51:02 -0700
Maybe it should be called attr for consistency with the template stuff, or the other should be renamed attributes. Other than that, I'm +1, data-* attributes are awesome, and abusers will find ways to abuse things either way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by mvrhov at 2011/05/22 21:48:01 -0700
Naming it attr also crossed my mind when I was signing off yesterday.
Along with the possibility to go the way xml attributes are handled when node is converted to/from array.
So every option with @ prefix would automatically become html attribute. However going the latter path, it'd be harder to implement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2011/06/13 07:43:52 -0700
Can you give an example of a real-world use case? Thanks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Seldaek at 2011/06/13 07:54:51 -0700
You can use `array('attr' => array('data-foo' => 'bar'))`, which will output `data-foo="bar"`, which can be read easily by jQuery for example as `$('el').data('foo')`. It's a standard compliant and elegant way to pass extra data needed by the JS code along with DOM nodes, without polluting everything with script tags and all.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2011/06/13 08:01:08 -0700
@Seldaek: I understand that. But why not doing this in the template?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Seldaek at 2011/06/13 08:04:10 -0700
Well, I agree it most likely belongs in the template, but it's kind of data stuff that is not directly impacting the display rules of the element, so in some cases having the possibility to set that from the php code might be useful. Anyway I'll let @mvrhov answer maybe he had a more concrete use case. I just think it's nice to leave the door open, but I don't really need it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by mvrhov at 2011/06/13 10:27:03 -0700
A bit late to the party. Ok, here is my use-case.
I have a pretty large form where part of the data is of tabular form. The number of rows is almost every time a lot larger than the number of columns
So I can either output a lot of text inputs filled with data and make already a large form intimidating. Or I can use a grid that supports editing. So I serialize that tabular data as json and put it as a value into one hidden field. Somehow I also have to get the column definitions to that grid. I decided to I serialize it and put it inside data-* attribute. Putting it into another hidden field doesn't make sense as when data is submitted back I don't need the column definitions as only the number of rows changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2011/06/13 10:44:58 -0700
@mvrhov: ok, but what prevents you from doing this in the template directly?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by mvrhov at 2011/06/13 11:22:53 -0700
I have to get it into the view somehow. What I'd really not like to do is, iterate through that data in a controller and then pass it as another template variable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2011/06/14 00:10:22 -0700
But the controller is where you prepare the data that you want to send to the view. Without any concrete example, I'm going to close this PR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by mvrhov at 2011/06/14 01:21:10 -0700
IMHO this has to go out through form as this is the part of the form also I do have a very slim controllers in this case 10 LOC, where half of them is just setting up an view data..
Nonetheless I went looking again very closely at the AbstractType and I do have buildView function available which I can override and set the column data I need there, and then provide custom view for that, so at least from this part this is an non issue.
With this PR all default form attributes can be set from outside and when searching for a good use-case I have found out that @henrikbjorn has implemented this via extensions [1], maybe he has a good use-case for this.

Convenience is the only use case
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stof at 2011/06/14 02:08:09 -0700
@fabpot The issue is that passing it from the controller as another template variable makes it really hard when you use the type twice with different values. Passing them from the form would be the easiest way
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by shuogawa at 2011/06/14 19:37:50 -0700
hello. thanks for great form library.
I want to support two ways to display additional attributes for form elements.
1) control in template like
{{ form_row(form.name, { 'width': '30' }) }}
2) control from php
$builder->add('name', 'text', array('attr'=>array('width'=>'30')));
If form elements configure by end user like cms,
and form elements dynamically change.
The second method is useful.
template designer can write {{form_row(form)}}
but
template designer can not write {{form_row(form.name), { 'width': '30' }}}
Thank you
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2011/06/14 23:01:18 -0700
@shuogawa: That's what I fear. Setting the `width` or any other attribute in PHP is wrong. This belongs to the templates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stloyd at 2011/06/15 00:09:05 -0700
@fabpot Then maybe just restrict allowed tags to `data-*` and don't use `attr` but some other not confusing name ? Just like we do with i.e. `maxlength`.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2011/06/15 04:44:25 -0700
I'm going to merge it as a "convenience" tool, but the documentation should clearly state that the only usage should be for `data-*` attributes.

[Form] Make the prototype view child of the collection view
This PR should be a base for discussion.
The [current implementation](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/1188) has some drawbacks because the prototype view is not a child of the collection view:
* The 'multipart' attribute is not propagated from the prototype to the collection,
* The prototype view do not use the theme from the collection.
Those 2 points are fixed by the proposed implementation and one more benefit is that the template markup might be easier to work with:
before:
```html
<div id="form_emails">
<div>
<label for="form_emails_0">0</label>
<input type="email" id="form_emails_0" name="form[emails][0]" value="a@b.com">
</div>
<script type="text/html" id="form_emails_prototype">
<div>
<label for="$$name$$">$$name$$</label>
<input type="email" id="$$name$$" name="$$name$$" value="" />
</div>
</script>
</div>
```
after:
```html
<div id="form_emails">
<div>
<label for="form_emails_0">0</label>
<input type="email" id="form_emails_0" name="form[emails][0]" value="a@b.com">
</div>
<script type="text/html" id="form_emails_prototype">
<div>
<label for="form_emails_$$name$$">$$name$$</label>
<input type="email" id="form_emails_$$name$$" name="form[emails][$$name$$]" value="" />
</div>
</script>
</div>

@fabpot any ETA about merging it ? Using the prototype currently is a pain to build the name. The change makes it far easier
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2011/06/14 07:09:46 -0700
The templates are much better but I'm a bit concerned that we need to add the logic into the Form class directly. That looks quite ugly. If there is no other way, I will merge it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2011/06/14 07:14:32 -0700
I have found no better way... I am testing some minor tweaks I want to submit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by kriswallsmith at 2011/06/14 07:34:25 -0700
I'm not happy with the code in Form.php either... would creating a PrototypeType accomplish the same thing?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2011/06/14 07:42:07 -0700
@kriswallsmith tried and dismissed, the id and name are bad & you have to go for `render_widget(form.get('proto'))` in the template. That should be fixeable but not any better.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by kriswallsmith at 2011/06/14 07:45:21 -0700
What do you mean the id and name are bad? If we have a distinct type for the prototype, can't we do whatever we want using buildView() and the template?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2011/06/14 07:53:31 -0700
@kriswallsmith the id would be smthg like `form_emails_$$name$$_prototype` but yes we should be able to do whatever we want but the code might end up being more complex.
I am done with the tweaks but still open to feedback on this PR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by kriswallsmith at 2011/06/14 08:08:21 -0700
Yes, that is the type of name I would expect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by kriswallsmith at 2011/06/14 08:08:33 -0700
Oops -- I mean id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by kriswallsmith at 2011/06/14 08:09:42 -0700
Maybe I'm confused what id you're referring to. I'll try to spend some time on this today.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2011/06/14 08:23:56 -0700
That should be the id of the `<input>`, the id of the script would be `form_emails_$$name$$_prototype_prototype` (if prototype is the name of the nested node).
I am trying to setup a branch with my code (playing with git & netbeans local history)

I would have expected it to be faster however `array_map` is about twice slower... reverted !
Rules are as follows:
* If multiple is true, then the empty_value is ignored
* If not, and if the field is not required, the empty_value is set to the empty string by default and displayed
* If the field is required, and if the user explicitely set the empty_value, then it is displayed
* kriswallsmith/form/collection-proto:
added script[type="text/html"] collection prototype to form themes
[Form] removed collection prototype from form tree
This reverts commit d044498cde.
The reason for reverting is that the name is actually used to customize
the template on a per field basis:
{% block _post_excerpt_widget %}
***{{ block('text_widget') }}***
{% endblock %}
Here, post is the name of the Type.
The current implementation is not ready for inclusion in 2.0. It has several
known problems (security, not possible to disable it, not "cloud-compatible",
...) and it's not a must have feature anyway.
Some references:
* Security issue in FileType: https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/1001
* Validation fails on file, still stored in TemporaryStorage: https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/908
* Add a size argument & ability to configure TemporaryStorage: https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/748
This feature should be reworked and discussed for inclusion in 2.1.
* fivestar/single-choice-expanded:
[Form] Fixed FixRadioInputListener to not ignore 0.
[Form] Fixed single expanded choice type to set checked attribute when passed boolean value
If some of the nested views are rendered individually they should not be rendered again when calling form_rest.
A typical would be when some nested file views are rendered, form_rest should not render them again.
It is still possible to render a label once the widget has been rendered. This is for checkboxes and radios
where the widget is typically rendered before the label.
* Tests to check if the pattern option is handled correctly by DateType
* Tests to check if the pattern parameter is handled correctly by DateTimeToLocalizedStringTransformer

Fix for RadioInputListener's empty value erroneously becoming extra data Refs #1058
Added test for RadioInputListener bug treating no data as extra data
The form component should now guarantee to always pass an UploadedFile object to your model. There you can call getOriginalName() to retrieve the original name of the uploaded file. For security reasons, the real file name is a generated hash value.
The consequence of this commit is that variables are accessible that have been passed to a surrounding form helper.
Example template:
{% block my_widget_label %}
<label>{{ label }}
{% endblock %}
{% block my_widget_row %}
{# It is not necessary to explicitely pass through the label variable #}
{{ form_label(form) }}
{{ form_widget(form) }}
{% endblock %}
Example usage:
{{ form_row(form.mywidget, { 'label': 'My Widget' }) }}
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);

Based on dfb93b1bcebf1f34d3a880d00f36acb2bcca0f08:
[FORM] Fixed DateField Month Choices
The month choices were calculated using the current day of the month with
gmmktime rather than the 1st of the month. Additionally, this provides a
UTC timestamp which is passed to the formatter (IntlDateFormatter) which
converts the timestamp using the current timezone. This means that the UTC
timestamp for 1st March was being converted for my timezone (EST) and giving
a date of 28th February, leading to Feb appearing again in the popup form
instead of Mar.
The problem was that "data_class" was used in two places: FormBuilder::build() and PropertyPathMapper.
PropertyPathMapper was already constructed during FormType::buildForm(), so any data class changes made to the FormBuilder wouldn't affect the data class of the PropertyPathMapper anymore and so lead to an inconsistent state.
