Json Form helper
================

[](#json-form-helper)

Simply use the `JsonControllerTrait` and then use forms as you would normally, but they now expect to receive JSON.

Install
-------

[](#install)

### Composer

[](#composer)

```
php composer.phar require mcfedr/json-form
```

### AppKernel

[](#appkernel)

Include the bundle in your AppKernel

```
public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        ...
        new Mcfedr\JsonFormBundle\McfedrJsonFormBundle()
```

JSON
----

[](#json)

The expected JSON will be just like that form values that would be sent.

Suppose you have the following form type

```
class AccountType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder
            ->add('name');
    }

    public function getBlockPrefix()
    {
        return 'account';
    }
}
```

Then the JSON should be

```
{
    "account": {
        "name": "Fred"
    }
}
```

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
class AccountController extends AbstractController
    use JsonControllerTrait;

    /**
     * @Route("/accounts", methods={"POST"})
     */
    public function accountCreateAction(Request $request, $uuid) {
        $account = new Account();
        $form = $this->createJsonForm(AccountType::class, $account);
        $this->handleJsonForm($form, $request);

        $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
        $em->persist($account);
        $em->flush();

        return $this->json([
            'account' => $account
        ]);
    }
}
```

For Symfony 3.x you will need to extend `Controller` because the trait needs access to `getParameter` method.
