AbstractType

buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)

Builds the form.

This method is called for each type in the hierarchy starting from the top most type. Type extensions can further modify the form.

Parameters

FormBuilderInterface	$builder	The form builder
array	$options	The options

buildView(FormView $view, FormInterface $form, array $options)

Builds the form view.

This method is called for each type in the hierarchy starting from the top most type. Type extensions can further modify the view.

A view of a form is built before the views of the child forms are built. This means that you cannot access child views in this method. If you need to do so, move your logic to {@link finishView()} instead.

Parameters

FormView	$view	The view
FormInterface	$form	The form
array	$options	The options

finishView(FormView $view, FormInterface $form, array $options)

Finishes the form view.

This method gets called for each type in the hierarchy starting from the top most type. Type extensions can further modify the view.

When this method is called, views of the form's children have already been built and finished and can be accessed. You should only implement such logic in this method that actually accesses child views. For everything else you are recommended to implement {@link buildView()} instead.

Parameters

FormView	$view	The view
FormInterface	$form	The form
array	$options	The options

setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)

Sets the default options for this type.

Parameters

OptionsResolverInterface

$resolver

The resolver for the options

configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)

Configures the options for this type.

Parameters

OptionsResolver

$resolver

The resolver for the options

string getName()

Returns the name of this type.

Return Value

string

The name of this type

string getBlockPrefix()

Returns the prefix of the template block name for this type.

The block prefixes default to the underscored short class name with the "Type" suffix removed (e.g. "UserProfileType" => "user_profile").

Return Value

string

The prefix of the template block name

string|null|FormTypeInterface getParent()

Returns the name of the parent type.

You can also return a type instance from this method, although doing so is discouraged because it leads to a performance penalty. The support for returning type instances may be dropped from future releases.

Returning a {@link FormTypeInterface} instance is deprecated since Symfony 2.8 and will be unsupported as of Symfony 3.0. Return the fully-qualified class name of the parent type instead.

Return Value

string|null|FormTypeInterface

The name of the parent type if any, null otherwise
