How could I add custom 'help' option to all existing Symfony3 Type's?
In Symfony2, I did it like this http://toni.uebernickel.info/2012/11/03/how-to-extend-form-fields-in-symfony2.1.html but now I'm upgrading to Symfony3 and it does not work any more - it gives me The option "help" does not exist.
http://symfony.com/doc/current/form/form_customization.html#adding-help-messages would work, but it would require to move all help texts into template:
{{ form_widget(form.title, {'help': 'foobar'}) }}
...from Type classes:
->add(
'periodFrom',
TextType::class,
[
'label' => 'period-from',
'required' => false,
'help' => 'period-from.help'
]
)
I'd like to avoid that. Thanks.
To do that and after this http://symfony.com/doc/current/form/form_customization.html#adding-help-messages you can create a form type extension to pass help
option to all form fields:
<?php
// src/AppBundle/Form/Extension/FormTypeExtension.php
namespace AppBundle\Form\Extension;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractTypeExtension;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\FormType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormView;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;
class FormTypeExtension extends AbstractTypeExtension
{
public function buildView(FormView $view, FormInterface $form, array $options)
{
$view->vars['help'] = $options['help'];
}
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'help' => null,
));
}
public function getExtendedType()
{
return FormType::class;
}
}
Now register the form type extension:
services:
app.form_type_extension:
class: AppBundle\Form\Extension\FormTypeExtension
tags:
- { name: form.type_extension, extended_type: Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\FormType }
