I'm a bit new to Symfony so I quite struggle here on dynamic forms. I'm trying to save my users in database, and geocode their address on form submission.
This is my user entity :
<?php
namespace AppBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use FOS\UserBundle\Model\User as BaseUser;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
/**
* User
*
* @ORM\Table(name="user")
* @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="AppBundle\Repository\UserRepository")
*/
class User extends BaseUser
{
/**
* @var int
*
* @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
* @ORM\Id
* @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
protected $id;
/**
* @var string
*
* @ORM\Column(type="string", length=255)
*
* @Assert\NotBlank(message="Veuillez inscrire votre prénom.", groups={"Registration", "Profile"})
* @Assert\Length(
* min=3,
* max=255,
* minMessage="The name is too short.",
* maxMessage="The name is too long.",
* groups={"Registration", "Profile"}
* )
*/
protected $firstname;
/**
* @var string
*
* @ORM\Column(name="lastname", type="string", length=255,nullable=true)
*/
protected $lastname;
/**
* @var string
*
* @ORM\Column(name="address", type="string", length=255, nullable=true)
*/
protected $address;
/**
* @var string
*
* @ORM\Column(name="zipcode", type="string", length=10, nullable=true)
*/
protected $zipcode;
/**

protected $city;
/**

protected $country;
/**

protected $latitude;
/**

public function __construct()

{
$this->lastname = $lastname;
return $this;
}
/**

*/
public function setAddress($address)
{
$this->address = $address;
return $this;
}
/**

*/
public function getAddress()
{
return $this->address;
}
/**

return $this;

{

return $this;
}

public function getCity()
{
return $this->city;
}
/**

*/
public function setCountry($country)
{
$this->country = $country;
return $this;
}
/**

*

*/
public function getCountry()
{
return $this->country;
}
/**
* Set latitude
*
* @param string $lat
*
* @return User
*/
public function setLatitude($latitude)
{
$this->latitude = $latitude;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get latitude
*
* @return string
*/
public function getLatitude()
{
return $this->latitude;
}
/**
* Set longitude
*
* @param string $longitude
*
* @return User
*/
public function setLongitude($longitude)
{
$this->longitude = $longitude;
return $this;

}
}
This is my registration form :
<?php
// src/AppBundle/Form/RegistrationType.php
namespace AppBundle\Form;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\EmailType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\PasswordType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\RepeatedType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextareaType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\BirthdayType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\DateType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\IntegerType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\CheckboxType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\HiddenType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormEvent;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormEvents;
use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\Type\EntityType;
use UserBundle\Repository\GenderRepository;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\SubmitType;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;
class RegistrationType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
parent::buildForm($builder, $options);
$builder
->add('firstname', TextType::class, array(
'label' => 'First name'))
->add('lastname', TextType::class, array(
'label' => 'Last name'))
->add('address')
->add('zipcode')
->add('city')
->add('country');
$builder->addEventListener(
FormEvents::SUBMIT,
function (FormEvent $event) {
$form = $event->getForm();
$data = $event->getForm()->getData();
$address = $data->getAddress();
$zipcode = $data->getZipCode();
$city = $data->getCity();
$country = $data->getCountry();
$fulladdress = urlencode($address)."+".$zipcode."+".$city."+".$country;
$geocode = file_get_contents('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address='.$fulladdress.'&key=KEY');
$output = json_decode($geocode);
$latitude = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lat;
$longitude = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lng;
dump($fulladdress); // Works fine, I see full address in dump
$form->add('latitude', HiddenType::class, array('data' => $latitude))
->add('longitude', HiddenType::class, array('data' => $longitude)); // Does not save data in database
}
);
}
public function getParent()
{
return 'FOS\UserBundle\Form\Type\RegistrationFormType';
}
public function getBlockPrefix()
{
return 'app_user_registration';
}
}
For the first tests I wrote a static address in $builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA, function (FormEvent $event), it worked fine so again, geocode looks nice.
When I tried to get the address dynamically from the form inputs and display the form, I got : Error: Call to a member function getAddress() on null
Looks like $address = $data->getAddress(); returns NULL because the form has not been submitted as we are looking at FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA. I tried to play with other events, but cannot make it work.
When I try to put it in FormEvents::PRE_SUBMIT, form displays fine but on Submit I get : Error: Call to a member function getAddress() on array
When I try to put it in FormEvents::SUBMIT, form displays fine, submition is OK, no error, but latitude and longitude columns are NULL in database.
I also tried $address = $data['address']; instead of $address = $data->getAddress();, but not better.
It's only my second symfony project, so quite not a specialist. What am I missing ? Any help would really be appreciated.
