Commons Gender Bundle
=====================

[](#commons-gender-bundle)

Since [gender is not binary](http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Gender_and_sex#Gender) but Symfony documentation and tutorials and [popular bundles](https://github.com/sonata-project/SonataUserBundle/blob/master/Model/UserInterface.php) play as if it were, this bundle attempts to be a starting point for Symfony web applications to offer humane choices for users to identify themselves.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add the following code to your `composer.json` file:

```
"require": {
    ..
    "commons/gender-bundle": "~1.0@dev"
},

```

And then run the Composer update command:

```
$ php composer.phar update commons/gender-bundle

```

Then register the bundle in the `AppKernel.php` file:

```
public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        ...
        new Commons\Bundle\GenderBundle\CommonsGenderBundle(),
        ...
    );

    return $bundles;
}

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Configuration is required for this bundle to function. Add the gender options your application supports to your `config.yml`

```
commons_gender:
    genders:
        f: Feminine
        m: Masculine
        q: Genderqueer
        u: Undisclosed
```

These are the choices that will be available in the `gender` form type.

The `gender` form type extends from [Symfony's `choice` form type](http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types/choice.html), which means it supports `multiple`. However it is your responsibility to create a data model that supports multiple genders.

Interfaces
----------

[](#interfaces)

This bundle provides a generic `GenderedUserInterface` that all other gendered user interfaces should extend from. The `GenderedUserInterface` tries to make no assumptions and so only defines a `GENDER_UNKNOWN` constant.

Ambitions
---------

[](#ambitions)

The maintainers of this bundle will likely create a `freegender` form type which allows free input with optional autocompletion.
