Custom mapping

There is class \Lzakrzewski\SymfonyFormGenerator\Property\PropertyTypeToFormTypeMapper which map type of properties to form types. PropertyTypeToFormTypeMapper is used for guess form type basing on:

• PHPdoc comments,
• Validator annotations,
• Type hints,

Default mapping:

property type	form type
array	generator_array
string	generator_string
int	integer
integer	integer
float	number
double	number
real	number
bool	checkbox
boolean	checkbox
\DateTime	generator_datetime
\Ramsey\Uuid\UuidInterface	generator_uuid
\Money\Money	generator_money

Customize mapping

use Lzakrzewski\SymfonyFormGenerator\GeneratorFactory;
use Lzakrzewski\SymfonyFormGenerator\ObjectWithMixedMetadata;
use Lzakrzewski\SymfonyFormGenerator\Property\PropertyTypeToFormTypeMapper;

$mapper = PropertyTypeToFormTypeMapper::withDefaultMappings();
$mapper->addMapping('Namespace\CustomType', 'custom_form_type');

$form = GeneratorFactory::createGenerator($mapper)
    ->generateFormBuilder(ObjectWithMixedMetadata::class)
    ->getForm();
