Select All Choice Bundle

Symfony bundle that adds an optional "Select all" checkbox for ChoiceType fields with multiple=true — for both expanded (checkboxes) and collapsed (<select multiple>) rendering. Frontend-driven: the backend marks the field and passes config via data attributes; a Stimulus controller creates and manages the toggle in the browser. Built with TypeScript and Vite (no Webpack Encore, no Importmap). For Symfony 7 and 8 · PHP 8.2+.

Installation

composer require nowo-tech/select-all-choice-bundle

1. Register the bundle in config/bundles.php:

<?php

return [
    // ...
    Nowo\SelectAllChoiceBundle\NowoSelectAllChoiceBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

2. Form theme: The bundle automatically adds its form theme from the form_theme option (see Configuration). Set form_theme in config/packages/nowo_select_all_choice.yaml to match your app (e.g. bootstrap_5_layout.html.twig). You do not need to add it to twig.form_themes unless you want to control the order.

3. Integrate assets with Vite — add an alias to the bundle’s assets directory in your vite.config.ts and import the bundle entry in your main JS/TS (see docs/INSTALLATION.md).

4. (Optional) Translations — Default domain nowo_select_all_choice with 60 languages; override via config or per-field options.

Full steps (path repository, Vite alias, Option B copy assets): docs/INSTALLATION.md.

Configuration

Create config/packages/nowo_select_all_choice.yaml to override defaults:

nowo_select_all_choice:
  form_theme: 'form_div_layout.html.twig'   # or 'bootstrap_5_layout.html.twig', etc.
  default_label: 'form.select_all'
  default_position: 'before'                 # 'before' | 'after'
  default_toggle_css_class: 'form-check-input'
  default_container_css_class: 'form-check mb-2'
  translation_domain: 'nowo_select_all_choice'

Set form_theme to match your app’s form layout (e.g. bootstrap_5_layout.html.twig). See docs/CONFIGURATION.md for all options and available Symfony form themes.

Usage

Enable "Select all" on a multiple choice field with the select_all option:

use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\ChoiceType;

$builder->add('roles', ChoiceType::class, [
    'choices' => [
        'Admin' => 'ROLE_ADMIN',
        'User'  => 'ROLE_USER',
        'Guest' => 'ROLE_GUEST',
    ],
    'multiple' => true,
    'expanded' => true,
    'select_all' => true,
]);

Override label, position and CSS per field; see docs/USAGE.md for all per-field options and examples.
