Custom CrudIT form types

Autocomplete

The Lle\CruditBundle\Form\Type\AutocompleteType allows you to create a select for entities that is fed by an AJAX autocomplete. It is equivalent to Doctrine's EntityType.

Options :

Name	Default	Description
class	required	a FQCN of your entity (e.g. App\Entity\Dummy)
multiple	false	set this to true if the field is a collection
route	null	if you want to customize the autocomplete route
url	null	if you want to customize the autocomplete url

FileType

The Lle\CruditBundle\Form\Type\FileType allows you to create a file input with an interface to show or delete the current file.

Here's a working example:

$builder->add('documentFile', FileType::class, [
    'allow_delete' => true,
    'download_route' => 'app_crudit_entity_download', // Your own route to download the file
    'image_route' => 'app_crudit_entity_downloadthumbnail', // Your own route to get the file (or the thumbnail)
]);

Markdown

The Lle\CruditBundle\Form\Type\MarkdownType allows you to create a Markdown editor textarea.

Cron expression

The Lle\CruditBundle\Form\Type\CronExpressionType allows you to create a cron input with a interface to select value.

CollectionType

Crudit works with CollectionType, but you need to do configure some things on your side.

First, you need to include @LleCrudit/form/custom_types.html.twig in Twig templates:

twig:
    form_themes:
        - 'bootstrap_5_layout.html.twig'
        - '[@LleCrudit](https://github.com/LleCrudit)/form/custom_types.html.twig'

Then you can use the CollectionType. Here's a working example:

// in parent form OrderType.php
$builder->add('lines', CollectionType::class, [
    'label' => 'field.lines',
    'entry_type' => LineType::class,
    'allow_add' => true,
    'allow_delete' => true,
    'by_reference' => false,
    'prototype_name' => '__etape_name__', // not required unless you use multiple CollectionType
]);

// in subform LineType.php
$builder->add('ordre', ItemType::class, [
    'label' => 'field.item',
    'row_attr' => [
        'class' => 'col-1',
    ]
]);

What matters :

by_reference is NECESSARY because otherwise Doctrine won't be able to track changes in collection, resulting in deletions that don't happen.
prototype_name is necessary when you nest CollectionTypes (a CollectionType inside another CollectionType)
use row_attr with Bootstrap columns to size the fields, to get a satisfying result
