I have a form with a simple button $builder->add('language_switcher', ButtonType::class);
which should simply, if pressed, add another field. To do that, I used Symfony's cookbook http://symfony.com/doc/current/form/dynamic_form_modification.html
$builder
->get('language_switcher')
->addEventListener(
FormEvents::POST_SUBMIT,
function () use ($builder, $options) {
$preparedOptions = $this->prepareOptions($options['data']['productCustomizations']);
$builder->add('lang_switcher'), ChoiceType::class, $preparedOptions);
}
);
When now submitting it via AJAX
<script>
var $button = $('#xyz');
$button.click(function() {
var $form = $(this).closest('form');
$.ajax({
url: $form.attr('action'),
type: $form.attr('method'),
success: function(html) {
console.log(html);
$('#xyz').replaceWith($(html).find('#lang_switcher'));
}
});
});
</script>
I'm getting the error Buttons do not support event listeners.
So I tried it out with a hidden field. I added the hidden field to the Form, set the EventListener
to it, and added this data
to my AJAX
request
data[$('#id_of_hidden_field').attr('name')] = 1;
However this did nothing. The example in the cockbook is after submitting a choice field so I don't know how to adapt it to my needs. I couldn't use a SubmitType
, because then it would submit the form, right? I just want to have it with a simple button.
The problem is, that, when I do a console.log(html)
I don't see the new html element, so it seems like I'm not getting to the EventListener
which is weird, because if I dump contents inside the listener I'm getting some data. It just seems like I'm not getting it inside the response
Ok, got it. The problem was that I used the builder
inside the POST_SUBMIT
event but I had to use a FormInterface
. Since I couldn't add it AFTER submit I had to buy the same callback function as in Symfony's cookbook
$formModifier = function (FormInterface $form, $preparedOptions) {
$form->add($this->childIdentifier, ChoiceType::class, $preparedOptions);
};
And then the listener is built like this
$builder
->get('lang_switcher')
->addEventListener(
FormEvents::POST_SUBMIT,
function (FormEvent $event) use ($formModifier, $options) {
$preparedOptions = $this->prepareOptions($options);
$formModifier($event->getForm()->getParent(), $preparedOptions);
}
);
<script type="text/javascript">
function inputBtn(){
var input=document.createElement('input');
input.type="file";
input.name="img[]";
input.multiple="multiple";
//without this next line, you'll get nuthin' on the display
document.getElementById('target_div').appendChild(input);
}
</script>
<button id="ifile" onclick="inputBtn();">create</button>
<form action="test.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div id="target_div"></div>
<input type="submit">
</form>
