This can be helpful for several applications where a site admin (not the developer) needs to configure the fields of a form, like contact forms, surveys or exams, employment applications, etc. #### [An example SurveyMaker application is available](https://github.com/zikula/DynamicFormBundleExample). [](#an-example-surveymaker-application-is-available) Installation ============ [](#installation) Make sure Composer is installed globally, as explained in the [installation chapter](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md)of the Composer documentation. Applications that use Symfony Flex ---------------------------------- [](#applications-that-use-symfony-flex) Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute: ``` $ composer require zikula/dynamic-form-bundle ``` Applications that don't use Symfony Flex ---------------------------------------- [](#applications-that-dont-use-symfony-flex) ### Step 1: Download the Bundle [](#step-1-download-the-bundle) Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle: ``` $ composer require zikula/dynamic-form-bundle ``` ### Step 2: Enable the Bundle [](#step-2-enable-the-bundle) Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the `config/bundles.php` file of your project: ``` // config/bundles.php return [ // ... Zikula\Bundle\DynamicFormBundle\ZikulaDynamicFormBundle::class => ['all' => true], ]; ``` Getting Started --------------- [](#getting-started) In order to implement this bundle, the developer must create three entities: 1. A 'container' Entity that holds both: 1. The form specifications (OneToMany) 2. The response data (OneToMany) 3. This *may* extend `AbstractSpecificationContainer` 2. A 'wrapper' Entity that defines the form specification. 1. This **must** extend `AbstractFormSpecification` 3. A 'response' Entity to contain the data responses to the forms. 1. This **must** extend `AbstractResponseData` Form Creation: the 'Building' form ---------------------------------- [](#form-creation-the-building-form) The `Zikula\Bundle\DynamicFormBundle\Form\Type\FormSpecificationCollectionType` formType is a collection of Form Specifications in your form. You must define the `entry_type` to be your own 'wrapper' Entity (item 2 above). Each member of the collection provides a form type to define all the needed details of a formType (a `FormSpecification`). Form options are loaded using ajax and dynamically added/replaced in the form. ``` $builder ->add('questions', FormSpecificationCollectionType::class, [ 'entry_options' => [ 'data_class' => Question::class // required ], ]) ``` **IMPORTANT NOTE**: The Javascript for these actions is automatically loaded. However, the javascript is jQuery-based. Therefore, **you must include jQuery in your front-end assets.** Form Creation: The 'Responding' form ------------------------------------ [](#form-creation-the-responding-form) The bundle also provides the `Zikula\Bundle\DynamicFormBundle\Form\Type\DynamicFieldsType` formType. This provides for inclusion of the defined dynamic fields. The formType requires the `specificationContainer` object. This object implements `Zikula\Bundle\DynamicFormBundle\Container\SpecificationContainerInterface`. This can be your 'Container' object (item 1 above) or possibly another provider like a Repository. The object must provide a list of form specifications (as defined by the 'wrapper' class). This list can be optionally sorted or filtered as required. Example: ``` $builder->add('survey', DynamicFieldsType::class, [ 'specificationContainer' => $myContainer, ]); ``` ### More information [](#more-information) - see [Additional Documentation](docs/index.md) - This bundle suggests [scienta/doctrine-json-functions](https://github.com/ScientaNL/DoctrineJsonFunctions) - You must configure the DoctrineJsonFunctions bundle at the application level. It is not done automatically. ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 68% of packages Maintenance33 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity16 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity54 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 97% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
