#### Type Names
This PR deprecates the definition of the `getName()` method of form types. See #15008 for a more detailed description.
Before:
```php
class MyType extends AbstractType
{
public function getName()
{
return 'mytype';
}
// ...
}
```
After:
```php
class MyType extends AbstractType
{
// ...
}
```
You should always reference other types by their fully-qualified class names. Thanks to PHP 5.5, that's easy:
Before:
```php
$form = $this->createFormBuilder()
->add('name', 'text')
->add('age', 'integer')
->getForm();
```
After:
```php
$form = $this->createFormBuilder()
->add('name', TextType::class)
->add('age', IntegerType::class)
->getForm();
```
#### Type Instances
Furthermore, passing of type instances is deprecated.
Before:
```php
$form = $this->createForm(new AuthorType());
```
After:
```php
$form = $this->createForm(AuthorType::class);
```
#### DIC Aliases
When registering a type in the DIC, you should omit the "alias" attribute now.
Before:
```xml
<service id="my.type" class="Vendor\Type\MyType">
<tag name="form.type" alias="mytype" />
<argument type="service" id="some.service.id" />
</service>
```
After:
```xml
<service id="my.type" class="Vendor\Type\MyType">
<tag name="form.type" />
<argument type="service" id="some.service.id" />
</service>
```
Types without dependencies don't need to be registered in the DIC as they can be instantiated right away.
#### Template Block Prefixes
By default, the class name of the type in underscore notation minus "Type" suffix is used as Twig template block prefix (e.g. `UserProfileType` => `user_profile_*`). If you want to customize that, overwrite the new `getBlockPrefix()` method in your type:
```php
class UserProfileType extends AbstractType
{
public function getBlockPrefix()
{
return 'profile';
}
// ...
}
```
