PHP Class Symfony\Component\Form\Field

To implement your own form fields, you need to have a thorough understanding of the data flow within a form field. A form field stores its data in three different representations: (1) the format required by the form's object (2) a normalized format for internal processing (3) the format used for display A date field, for example, may store a date as "Y-m-d" string (1) in the object. To facilitate processing in the field, this value is normalized to a DateTime object (2). In the HTML representation of your form, a localized string (3) is presented to and modified by the user. In most cases, format (1) and format (2) will be the same. For example, a checkbox field uses a Boolean value both for internal processing as for storage in the object. In these cases you simply need to set a value transformer to convert between formats (2) and (3). You can do this by calling setValueTransformer() in the configure() method. In some cases though it makes sense to make format (1) configurable. To demonstrate this, let's extend our above date field to store the value either as "Y-m-d" string or as timestamp. Internally we still want to use a DateTime object for processing. To convert the data from string/integer to DateTime you can set a normalization transformer by calling setNormalizationTransformer() in configure(). The normalized data is then converted to the displayed data as described before. Mostra file Open project: pmjones/php-framework-benchmarks Class Usage Examples
