How to fill the dropdown list dynamically in symfony? (select the cities of the region)


I explain my problem:

I have to create a form where the drop-down lists are filled according to our choices in the previous ones.

I have two entities:

A Region may have several Cities (ManyToOne) relationship.

I followed the documentation from here How to Dynamically Modify Forms Using Form Events (Dynamic Generation for Submitted Forms) .

Here is the code for the entities:

Region entity:

class Region
{
    /**
     * @var int
     *
     * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @var string
     *
     * @ORM\Column(name="nom", type="string", length=255)
     */
    private $nom;

    /**
     * @var int
     *
     * @ORM\Column(name="numero", type="smallint")
     */
    private $numero;
}

Ville Entity:

class Ville
{
    /**
     * @var int
     *
     * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @var string
     *
     * @ORM\Column(name="nom", type="string", length=255)
     */
    private $nom;

    /**
     * @var int
     *
     * @ORM\Column(name="numero", type="smallint")
     */
    private $numero;

    /**
     * @var int
     *
     * @ORM\Column(name="codePostal", type="smallint")
     */
    private $codePostal;

    /**
     * @var Region
     *
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="GE\CandidatBundle\Entity\Region")
     */
    protected $region;
}

my problem:

I retrieve the list of regions with the query_builder option but how do I retrieve the list of cities according to the choice of region.

AnnonceType:

 $builder
->add('region', EntityType::class, [
                'label' => 'Region *',
                'label_attr' => [
                    "class" => "smaller lighter blue",
                    "style" => "font-size: 21px;",
                ],
                'class'         => 'GECandidatBundle:Region',
                'choice_label'  => 'nom',
                'multiple'      => false,
                'query_builder' => function(RegionRepository $repository) {
                    return $repository->getListeRegion();
                }
            ])
            ->add('ville', TextType::class, [
                'label' => 'Ville *',
                'label_attr' => [
                    "class" => "smaller lighter blue",
                    "style" => "font-size: 21px;",
                ],
            ]);
$formModifier = function (FormInterface $form, Region $region = null) {
            $ville = null === $region ? array() : $region->getNom();

            $form->add('ville', EntityType::class, array(
                'class' => 'GECandidatBundle:Ville',
                'placeholder' => '',
                'choices' => $ville,

                'label' => 'Ville *',
                'label_attr' => [
                    "class" => "smaller lighter blue",
                    "style" => "font-size: 21px;",
                ],
                'choice_label'  => 'nom',
                'multiple'      => false,
                /*'query_builder' => function(VilleRepository $repository) {
                    return $repository->getVilleByRegion();
                }*/
            ));
        };

        $builder->addEventListener(
            FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA,
            function (FormEvent $event) use ($formModifier) {
                $data = $event->getData();
                $formModifier($event->getForm(), $data->getVille());
            }
        );

        $builder->get('region')->addEventListener(
            FormEvents::POST_SUBMIT,
            function (FormEvent $event) use ($formModifier) {
                $region = $event->getForm()->getData();
                $formModifier($event->getForm()->getParent(), $region);
            }
        );

new.html.twig:

    {{ form_start(form) }}
        {{ form_row(form.region) }}    {# <select id="ge_candidatbundle_annonce_region" ... #}
        {{ form_row(form.ville) }} {# <select id="ge_candidatbundle_annonce_ville" ... #}
        {# ... #}
    {{ form_end(form) }}
<script>
        var $region = $('#ge_candidatbundle_annonce_region');
        $region.change(function() {
            var $form = $(this).closest('form');
            var data = {};
            data[$region.attr('nom')] = $region.val();
            $.ajax({
                url : $form.attr('action'),
                type: $form.attr('method'),
                data : data,
                success: function(html) {
                    $('#ge_candidatbundle_annonce_ville').replaceWith(
                        $(html).find('#ge_candidatbundle_annonce_ville')
                    );
                }
            });
        });
    </script>

Solution

  • UPDATE

    1. I modified the entities.

    2. I modified the AnnonceType.

    3. I modified the new.html.twig.

    Here is the code for the entities:

    Region entity:

    class Region
    {
        /**
         * @var int
         *
         * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
         * @ORM\Id
         * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
         */
        private $id;
    
        /**
         * @var string
         *
         * @ORM\Column(name="nom", type="string", length=255)
         */
        private $nom;
    
        /**
         * @var int
         *
         * @ORM\Column(name="numero", type="smallint")
         */
        private $numero;
    /**
     * @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="GE\CandidatBundle\Entity\Ville", mappedBy="region")
     **/
    protected $villes;
    
    /**
     * Get villes
     *
     * @return \Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection
     */
    public function getVilles()
    {
        return $this->villes;
    }
    }
    

    Ville Entity:

    class Ville
    {
        /**
         * @var int
         *
         * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
         * @ORM\Id
         * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
         */
        private $id;
    
        /**
         * @var string
         *
         * @ORM\Column(name="nom", type="string", length=255)
         */
        private $nom;
    
        /**
         * @var int
         *
         * @ORM\Column(name="numero", type="smallint")
         */
        private $numero;
    
        /**
         * @var int
         *
         * @ORM\Column(name="codePostal", type="smallint")
         */
        private $codePostal;
    
    /**
     * @var Region
