lrotherfield / form Goto Github PK

Hi I am getting this error.
Attempted to load class "HiddenEntityType" from namespace "Lrotherfield\Component\Form\Type".
Did you forget a "use" statement for another namespace?

Do I need to register the bundle in the App kernel?

1.1.2 is not available on https://packagist.org/packages/lrotherfield/form I am guessing the hook is either not setup or has become disconnected. Can you update this so that new tags trigger updates over on packagist and we can use composer to get the latest version.

In Symfony 2.7.10/2.7.9 the latest update breaks, with any form type using hidden_entity:

Could not load type "Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\HiddenType"

This commit here:

    /**
     * Set the parent form type to Symfony core HiddenType
     *
     * TODO: when drop Symfony 2.x support, add use statement above
     *       for HiddenType core class and return HiddenType::class
     *       here instead of path string
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getParent()
    {
        return 'hidden';
    }

I just change getParent to return 'hidden' instead of the class name and it works again. Not sure what else to do to help... but just a heads up.

I'm trying to give the hidden field a value, but I can't find any way to do it. Does Symfony hide this data from the html? All the examples stop at telling me to supply the class name, but don't mention how to give the form field a value. I tried the below:

$builder->add('owner_id',  'hidden_entity', array(
  "class" => "AcmeExampleBundle:Employees",
  'data'=> $this->securityContext->getToken()->getUser()
));

But the generated html has no value. When I submit the form, Symfony gives a 500 error about Object of class Acme\ExampleBundle\Entity\Employees could not be converted to string in /var/www/html/vendor/doctrine/orm/lib/Doctrine/ORM/UnitOfWork.php line 2794 (which ironically is the opposite problem I had before, trying to make a owner_id a plain hidden field.)

Any ideas? You'd think this is the second thing people would need to do, not sure why it's so difficult.

Why forcing user to provide its own service?
Can't this bundle just provide a ready to use service?

Hi,

The latest merged fix is pretty useful, would you mind tagging a new release?
