README
This bundle add a new Form type named "entity_ajax".
It looks like the default "entity" type, but it loads only associated entities.
Example
A Book is link to User throught "owner" property.
If you are using the "entity" type on the BookType to display the "owner" property. The form will load all the "users" to render the page.
With the "entity_ajax" type, the form will load only the current "owner". In this case, you are free to load further "users" via AJAX or something else.
Installation
Installation is a quick 2 step process:
- Download ArmetizFormExtensionBundle using composer
- Enable the Bundle
Step 1: Download ArmetizFormExtensionBundle using composer
Add ArmetizFormExtensionBundle in your composer.json:
{ "require": { "armetiz/form-extension-bundle": "1.x-dev" } }
Now tell composer to download the bundle by running the command:
$ php composer.phar update armetiz/form-extension-bundle
Composer will install the bundle to your project's vendor/armetiz
directory.
Step 2: Enable the bundle
Enable the bundle in the kernel:
<?php // app/AppKernel.php public function registerBundles() { $bundles = array( // ... new Armetiz\FormExtensionBundle\ArmetizFormExtensionBundle(), ); }
Usage
You just have to use "entity_ajax" type instead of "entity". All EntityType options are still availabled and/or needed.
I'm using it with Chosen & Ajax Chosen.
