Object oriented FormType

FormType::buildForm() object oriented instead of array

Example :

namespace FooBundle\Form\Type;

use steevanb\SymfonyFormOptionsBuilder\OptionsBuilder\TextOptionsBuilder;
use steevanb\SymfonyFormOptionsBuilder\OptionsBuilder\EmailOptionsBuilder;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextType;

class BarType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        # Since PHP 5.5, you can use FooClass::class
        $builder->add('field_text', TextType::class, TextOptionsBuilder::create()->asArray());

        # Since PHP 5.6, you can use the variadic syntax. asVariadic() parameter is field name.
        $builder->add(
            ...EmailOptionsBuilder::create()
                ->setRequired(false)
                ->setPlaceHolder('default@mail.com')
                ->setTrim(false)
                ->asVariadic('field_email')
        );
    }
}
