symfony/UPGRADE-3.0.md

UPGRADE FROM 2.x to 3.0

ClassLoader

• The UniversalClassLoader class has been removed in favor of ClassLoader. The only difference is that some method names are different:

  • registerNamespaces() -> addPrefixes()
  • registerPrefixes() -> addPrefixes()
  • registerNamespaces() -> addPrefix()
  • registerPrefixes() -> addPrefix()
  • getNamespaces() -> getPrefixes()
  • getNamespaceFallbacks() -> getFallbackDirs()
  • getPrefixFallbacks() -> getFallbackDirs()

• The DebugUniversalClassLoader class has been removed in favor of DebugClassLoader. The difference is that the constructor now takes a loader to wrap.

Form

• The methods Form::bind() and Form::isBound() were removed. You should use Form::submit() and Form::isSubmitted() instead.

  Before:

  $form->bind(array(...));
  

  After:

  $form->submit(array(...));
  

• Passing a Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request instance, as was supported by FormInterface::bind(), is not possible with FormInterface::submit() anymore. You should use FormInterface::handleRequest() instead.

  Before:

  if ('POST' === $request->getMethod()) {
      $form->bind($request);
  
      if ($form->isValid()) {
          // ...
      }
  }
  

  After:

  $form->handleRequest($request);
  
  if ($form->isValid()) {
      // ...
  }
  

  If you want to test whether the form was submitted separately, you can use the method isSubmitted():

  $form->handleRequest($request);
  
  if ($form->isSubmitted()) {
     // ...
  
     if ($form->isValid()) {
         // ...
     }
  }
  

• The events PRE_BIND, BIND and POST_BIND were renamed to PRE_SUBMIT, SUBMIT and POST_SUBMIT.

  Before:

  $builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_BIND, function (FormEvent $event) {
      // ...
  });
  

  After:

  $builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SUBMIT, function (FormEvent $event) {
      // ...
  });
  

• The option "virtual" was renamed to "inherit_data".

  Before:

  $builder->add('address', 'form', array(
      'virtual' => true,
  ));
  

  After:

  $builder->add('address', 'form', array(
      'inherit_data' => true,
  ));
  

• The class VirtualFormAwareIterator was renamed to InheritDataAwareIterator.

  Before:

  use Symfony\Component\Form\Util\VirtualFormAwareIterator;
  
  $iterator = new VirtualFormAwareIterator($forms);
  

  After:

  use Symfony\Component\Form\Util\InheritDataAwareIterator;
  
  $iterator = new InheritDataAwareIterator($forms);
  

• The TypeTestCase class was moved from the Symfony\Component\Form\Tests\Extension\Core\Type namespace to the Symfony\Component\Form\Test namespace.

  Before:

  use Symfony\Component\Form\Tests\Extension\Core\Type\TypeTestCase
  
  class MyTypeTest extends TypeTestCase
  {
      // ...
  }
  

  After:

  use Symfony\Component\Form\Test\TypeTestCase;
  
  class MyTypeTest extends TypeTestCase
  {
      // ...
  }
  

• The FormItegrationTestCase and FormPerformanceTestCase classes were moved form the Symfony\Component\Form\Tests namespace to the Symfony\Component\Form\Test namespace.

FrameworkBundle

• The enctype method of the form helper was removed. You should use the new method start instead.

  Before:

  <form method="post" action="http://example.com" <?php echo $view['form']->enctype($form) ?>>
      ...
  </form>
  

  After:

  <?php echo $view['form']->start($form) ?>
      ...
  <?php echo $view['form']->end($form) ?>
  

  The method and action of the form default to "POST" and the current document. If you want to change these values, you can set them explicitly in the controller.

  Alternative 1:

  $form = $this->createForm('my_form', $formData, array(
      'method' => 'PUT',
      'action' => $this->generateUrl('target_route'),
  ));
  

  Alternative 2:

  $form = $this->createFormBuilder($formData)
      // ...
      ->setMethod('PUT')
      ->setAction($this->generateUrl('target_route'))
      ->getForm();
  

  It is also possible to override the method and the action in the template:

  <?php echo $view['form']->start($form, array('method' => 'GET', 'action' => 'http://example.com')) ?>
      ...
  <?php echo $view['form']->end($form) ?>
  

HttpKernel

• The Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Log\LoggerInterface has been removed in favor of Psr\Log\LoggerInterface. The only difference is that some method names are different:

  • emerg() -> emergency()
  • crit() -> critical()
  • err() -> error()
  • warn() -> warning()

  The previous method renames also happened to the following classes:

  • Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Logger
  • Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Log\NullLogger

• The Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Kernel::init() method has been removed.

• The following classes have been renamed as they have been moved to the Debug component:

  • Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Debug\ErrorHandler -> Symfony\Component\Debug\ErrorHandler
  • Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Debug\ExceptionHandler -> Symfony\Component\Debug\ExceptionHandler
  • Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\FatalErrorException -> Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException
  • Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\FlattenException -> Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FlattenException

• The Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\EventListener\ExceptionListener now passes the Request format as the _format argument instead of format.

Locale

• The Locale component was removed and replaced by the Intl component. Instead of the methods in Symfony\Component\Locale\Locale, you should use these equivalent methods in Symfony\Component\Intl\Intl now:

  • Locale::getDisplayCountries() -> Intl::getRegionBundle()->getCountryNames()
  • Locale::getCountries() -> array_keys(Intl::getRegionBundle()->getCountryNames())
  • Locale::getDisplayLanguages() -> Intl::getLanguageBundle()->getLanguageNames()
  • Locale::getLanguages() -> array_keys(Intl::getLanguageBundle()->getLanguageNames())
  • Locale::getDisplayLocales() -> Intl::getLocaleBundle()->getLocaleNames()
  • Locale::getLocales() -> array_keys(Intl::getLocaleBundle()->getLocaleNames())

PropertyAccess

• Renamed PropertyAccess::getPropertyAccessor to createPropertyAccessor.

  Before:

  use Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyAccess;
  
  $accessor = PropertyAccess::getPropertyAccessor();
  

  After:

  use Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyAccess;
  
  $accessor = PropertyAccess::createPropertyAccessor();
  

Routing

• Some route settings have been renamed:

  • The pattern setting for a route has been deprecated in favor of path
  • The _scheme and _method requirements have been moved to the schemes and methods settings

  Before:

  article_edit:
      pattern: /article/{id}
      requirements: { '_method': 'POST|PUT', '_scheme': 'https', 'id': '\d+' }
  
  <route id="article_edit" pattern="/article/{id}">
      <requirement key="_method">POST|PUT</requirement>
      <requirement key="_scheme">https</requirement>
      <requirement key="id">\d+</requirement>
  </route>
  
  $route = new Route();
  $route->setPattern('/article/{id}');
  $route->setRequirement('_method', 'POST|PUT');
  $route->setRequirement('_scheme', 'https');
  

  After:

  article_edit:
      path: /article/{id}
      methods: [POST, PUT]
      schemes: https
      requirements: { 'id': '\d+' }
  
  <route id="article_edit" path="/article/{id}" methods="POST PUT" schemes="https">
      <requirement key="id">\d+</requirement>
  </route>
  
  $route = new Route();
  $route->setPath('/article/{id}');
  $route->setMethods(array('POST', 'PUT'));
  $route->setSchemes('https');
  

Translator

• The Translator::setFallbackLocale() method has been removed in favor of Translator::setFallbackLocales().

Twig Bridge

• The render tag is deprecated in favor of the render function.

  Before:

  <form method="post" action="http://example.com" {{ form_enctype(form) }}>
      ...
  </form>
  

  After:

  {{ form_start(form) }}
      ...
  {{ form_end(form) }}
  

  The method and action of the form default to "POST" and the current document. If you want to change these values, you can set them explicitly in the controller.

  Alternative 1:

  $form = $this->createForm('my_form', $formData, array(
      'method' => 'PUT',
      'action' => $this->generateUrl('target_route'),
  ));
  

  Alternative 2:

  $form = $this->createFormBuilder($formData)
      // ...
      ->setMethod('PUT')
      ->setAction($this->generateUrl('target_route'))
      ->getForm();
  

  It is also possible to override the method and the action in the template:

  {{ form_start(form, {'method': 'GET', 'action': 'http://example.com'}) }}
      ...
  {{ form_end(form) }}
  

Validator

• The constraints Optional and Required were moved to the Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\ namespace. You should adapt the path wherever you used them.

  Before:

  use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
  
  /**
   * @Assert\Collection({
   *     "foo" = @Assert\Collection\Required(),
   *     "bar" = @Assert\Collection\Optional(),
   * })
   */
  private $property;
  

  After:

  use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
  
  /**

   *     "bar" = @Assert\Optional(),
   * })
   */
  private $property;
