No Fabian, i'm not saying a developer should't use the API. I'm saying
that when a developer is new at symfony and don't know the framework,
he should have a quick guide to start using the framework and its
features in an easy way. Then if he decide to use the framework
obviously he MUST use the API to do things better....althougt 'd be
easy to the developer to remember some useful things about the API..
I'm a linux user so i don't think you must have a button to do
everything but...sometimes things can be done(or code) in a easy
way...here an example from the Francois form chapter:
$choices = array('m' => 'Male', 'f' => 'Female');
$form->setWidget('gender', new sfWidgetFormSelectRadio(array('choices'
=> $choices, 'class' => 'gender_list')));
// Same as
$form->setWidget('gender', array('type' => 'choice', 'choices' =>
$choices, 'class' => 'gender_list'));
$form->addValidator('name', new sfValidatorString());
// Same as
$form->addValidator('name', 'string');
This is not WOWOW!!! how mucho differences!!!!!!! but this little
things make code very easy to remember(when you are coding) and
redable. In this case we have two lines but if we have a lot of code
the Francois proposed method do the code much more redable.
My english is not so good and sometimes the things i wrote are
undersood in the wrong way....sorry for this, is my fault...hope this
time can be understood..
