I am using Symfony 2.8
I have a many to many relationship between User and Sectors entities, the insertion works well but the creation of the edit form (the editAction function) does not work. All the code is there:
<?php
namespace UserBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
class User extends BaseUser implements ParticipantInterface
{
/**
* @ORM\Id
* @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer", nullable=false)
* @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="CUSTOM")
* @ORM\CustomIdGenerator(class="CoreBundle\Model\CustomIdGenerator")
*
* @var int
*/
protected $id;
/**
* @ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="UserBundle\Entity\Sectors", fetch="EAGER")
* @ORM\JoinTable(
* joinColumns={@ORM\JoinColumn(onDelete="CASCADE")},
* inverseJoinColumns={@ORM\JoinColumn(onDelete="CASCADE")}
* )
*/
public $sectors;
/**
* @ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="UserBundle\Entity\UserAccreditation")
* @ORM\JoinTable(
* joinColumns={@ORM\JoinColumn(onDelete="CASCADE")},
* inverseJoinColumns={@ORM\JoinColumn(onDelete="CASCADE")}
* )
*/
public $accreditationdata;
/**

{
$this->accreditationdata = new ArrayCollection();
$this->sectors = new ArrayCollection();
parent::__construct();
}

*

*/
public function addAccreditationdatum(UserBundle\Entity\UserAccreditation $accreditationdatum)
{
$this->accreditationdata[] = $accreditationdatum;
return $this;
}
/**

*

*/
public function removeAccreditationdatum(UserBundle\Entity\UserAccreditation $accreditationdatum)
{
$this->accreditationdata->removeElement($accreditationdatum);
}
/**

*
* @param UserBundle\Entity\Sectors $sector
*
* @return User
*/
public function addSector(UserBundle\Entity\Sectors $sector)
{
$this->sectors[] = $sector;
return $this;
}

and I get error which says :
Type error: Argument 2 passed to UserBundle\Form\Type\ProfileAboutMeFormType::UserBundle\Form\Type{closure}() must be an instance of Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection, instance of Doctrine\ORM\PersistentCollection given, called in /src/UserBundle/Form/Type/ProfileAboutMeFormType.php on line 383
should I change getSectors method to PersistentCollection ?? or I need to totally change my approach?
So yeah, basically answered my own question. I got my own solution for this kind of approach. I have to change my eventlistener for "Edit Form".
As I understood when you query database by repository you get PersistentCollection and when your working with your entities you get ArrayCollection
I have changed the \Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection $sector as array $sector in $formModify function. also I have changed in PRE_SET_DATA and POST_SUBMIT Events too.
Below is the full code of changed event listener.
$factory = $builder->getFormFactory();
$formModify = function (FormInterface $form, array $sector, $factory) {
$output = [];
foreach($sector as $sec) {
$output[] = $sec;
}
$formOption = array(
'class' => 'Cocorico\UserBundle\Entity\UserAccreditation',
'multiple' => true,
'auto_initialize' => false,
'required' => false,
'expanded' => true,
'label' => 'Accreditations',
'choice_attr' => function ($output) {
return ['class' => 'attr_checkbox'];
},
'query_builder' => function(EntityRepository $ertt) use ($output) {
// build a custom query, or call a method on your repository (even better!)
$qb = $ertt->createQueryBuilder('g');
$qb->select(array('g'));
$qb->where('g.sector IN (:sector_id)');
$qb->setParameters( array('sector_id' => $output) );
$qb->orderBy('g.name', 'ASC');
return $qb;
},
);
$form->add($factory->createNamed('accreditationdata', EntityType::class, null, $formOption));
};
$builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA,function (FormEvent $event) use ($formModify,$factory) {
$data = $event->getData();
$form = $event->getForm();
if ($data != null)
$newarray = [];
foreach ($data->getSectors() as $post) {
// $post is not an array
$newarray[] = $post->id;
}
$formModify($event->getForm(), $newarray,$factory);
}
);
$factory = $builder->getFormFactory();
$builder->get('sectors')->addEventListener(FormEvents::POST_SUBMIT,function (FormEvent $event) use ($formModify,$factory) {
$sector = $event->getForm()->getData();
$created_array = array($sector->getId());
$array = [];
foreach($created_array as $secval) {
$array[] = $secval;
}
$formModify($event->getForm()->getParent(), $array,$factory);
}
);
This works for me. Hope it help someone else for such type of approach.
