Fill my form with the data that I pick up from a table - Symfony2

Question

My problem is this : I have an entity that contains user data , such as:

• age
• name
• surname
• address
• phone
• ...

My goal is to make a form where using a query can bring all this data and fill my form with the data , so that the user can modify it if you ever change the cell for example, or changing the direction of his house.

The company and I have made the entity​​ and the form, and consulting the table will do. My problem is how to fill the form fields with the data that I get from the table.

My entity (DatosEntity):

    <?php

}

My DatosType:

    <?php

namespace Proyecto\LavocBundle\Form;

use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;

class DatosType extends AbstractType {

    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) 
    {
        $builder->add('empresa');
        $builder->add('cuit');
        $builder->add('localidad');
        $builder->add('calle');
        $builder->add('altura');
        $builder->add('areaTel');
        $builder->add('telefono');
        $builder->add('areaCel');
        $builder->add('celular');   
    }

    public function getName()
    {
    return 'datos_form';
    }

}

The consultation on the controller but did not know how to do it. Now , do not like taking the data I receive and dump them in the form.

Thank you very much and sorry for the trouble

Answer 1

I think what you want to do can be done by following these steps :

1. Start by collecting your User data in a variable we will call $user

2. Then, give this $userto be hydrated by your form, like this :

   $form = $this->createForm(new UserType(), $user);

3. Treat your form like you would normaly do. The values found in the entity should be automaticaly filled in your form.

Hope this helps.
