Hi,
I am using the FormElementManager to handle my forms. My forms are set
up in the init() method which is called by the FormElementManager on
instantiation. So far so good.
I have some forms which need additional setup, so I created factories
for them and configured these factories for the FormElementManager.
Within these factories the forms are created with a simple "new"
statement. Again, so far so good.
But now I have some of these factories:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
class ProfileFormFactory implements FactoryInterface
{
public function createService(
ServiceLocatorInterface $serviceLocator
) {
$userEntity = new UserEntity();
$genderOptions = $userEntity->getData()->getProfile()
->getGenderOptions();
$form = new ProfileForm();
$form->get('data')
->get('profile')
->get('gender')
->setValueOptions($genderOptions);
return $form;
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After form creation I want to dynamically set some select options. But
this does not work yet, because the init() method is not called (which
should be done by the FormElementManager. When I add the init() call
after the form instantiation the form factory is not passed
automatically. So I would need something like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$form = new ProfileForm();
$serviceLocator->injectFactory($form);
$form->init();
$form->get('data')
->get('profile')
->get('gender')
->setValueOptions($genderOptions);
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feels really awkward to do the stuff the FormElementManager is normally
caring about.
So, my idea is something like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
class ProfileFormFactory implements FactoryInterface
{
public function createService(
ServiceLocatorInterface $serviceLocator
) {
$userEntity = new UserEntity();
$genderOptions = $userEntity->getData()->getProfile()
->getGenderOptions();
$form = new ProfileForm($genderOptions);
return $form;
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The constructor saves the options for later usage in a class property
and within the init() method I access the class property to set the options.
What do others think? Is this good or bad practice? How would you solve
these issues?
Thanks and regards,
Ralf
