BirthdayType Field ¶

invalid_message ¶

type: string default: This value is not valid

This is the validation error message that's used if the data entered into this field doesn't make sense (i.e. fails validation).

This might happen, for example, if the user enters a nonsense string into a TimeType field that cannot be converted into a real time or if the user enters a string (e.g. apple) into a number field.

Normal (business logic) validation (such as when setting a minimum length for a field) should be set using validation messages with your validation rules (reference).

years ¶

type: array default: 120 years ago to the current year

List of years available to the year field type. This option is only relevant when the widget option is set to choice.

choice_translation_domain ¶

type: string, boolean or null default: false

This option determines if the choice values should be translated and in which translation domain.

The values of the choice_translation_domain option can be true (reuse the current translation domain), false (disable translation), null (uses the parent translation domain or the default domain) or a string which represents the exact translation domain to use.

days ¶

type: array default: 1 to 31

List of days available to the day field type. This option is only relevant when the widget option is set to choice:

1

'days' => range(1,31)

placeholder ¶

type: string | array

If your widget option is set to choice, then this field will be represented as a series of select boxes. When the placeholder value is a string, it will be used as the blank value of all select boxes:

1
2
3

$builder->add('birthdate', BirthdayType::class, [
    'placeholder' => 'Select a value',
]);

Alternatively, you can use an array that configures different placeholder values for the year, month and day fields:

1
2
3
4
5

$builder->add('birthdate', BirthdayType::class, [
    'placeholder' => [
        'year' => 'Year', 'month' => 'Month', 'day' => 'Day',
    ],
]);

format ¶

type: integer or string default: IntlDateFormatter::MEDIUM (or yyyy-MM-dd if widget is single_text)

Option passed to the IntlDateFormatter class, used to transform user input into the proper format. This is critical when the widget option is set to single_text and will define how the user will input the data. By default, the format is determined based on the current user locale: meaning that the expected format will be different for different users. You can override it by passing the format as a string.

For more information on valid formats, see Date/Time Format Syntax:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\DateType;
// ...

$builder->add('dateCreated', DateType::class, [
    'widget' => 'single_text',
    // this is actually the default format for single_text
    'format' => 'yyyy-MM-dd',
]);

input ¶

type: string default: datetime

The format of the input data - i.e. the format that the date is stored on your underlying object. Valid values are:

• string (e.g. 2011-06-05)
  文字列 (例: 2011-06-05)
• datetime (a DateTime object)
  datetime (DateTime オブジェクト)
• datetime_immutable (a DateTimeImmutable object)
  datetime_immutable (DateTimeImmutable オブジェクト)
• array (e.g. ['year' => 2011, 'month' => 06, 'day' => 05])
  配列 (例: ['年' => 2011, '月' => 06, '日' => 05])
• timestamp (e.g. 1307232000)
  タイムスタンプ (例: 1307232000)

The value that comes back from the form will also be normalized back into this format.

input_format ¶

type: string default: Y-m-d

If the input option is set to string, this option specifies the format of the date. This must be a valid PHP date format.

model_timezone ¶

type: string default: system default timezone

Timezone that the input data is stored in. This must be one of the PHP supported timezones.

months ¶

type: array default: 1 to 12

List of months available to the month field type. This option is only relevant when the widget option is set to choice.

view_timezone ¶

type: string default: system default timezone

Timezone for how the data should be shown to the user (and therefore also the data that the user submits). This must be one of the PHP supported timezones.

widget ¶

type: string default: choice

The basic way in which this field should be rendered. Can be one of the following:

• choice: renders three select inputs. The order of the selects is defined in the format option.
  choice: 3 つの選択入力をレンダリングします。選択の順序は、フォーマット オプションで定義されます。
• text: renders a three field input of type text (month, day, year).
  text: テキスト型 (月、日、年) の 3 つのフィールド入力をレンダリングします。
• single_text: renders a single input of type date. User's input is validated based on the format option.
  single_text: 日付型の単一の入力をレンダリングします。ユーザーの入力は、フォーマット オプションに基づいて検証されます。

These options inherit from the FormType:

attr ¶

type: array default: []

If you want to add extra attributes to an HTML field representation you can use the attr option. It's an associative array with HTML attributes as keys. This can be useful when you need to set a custom class for some widget:

1
2
3

$builder->add('body', TextareaType::class, [
    'attr' => ['class' => 'tinymce'],
]);

data ¶

type: mixed default: Defaults to field of the underlying structure.

When you create a form, each field initially displays the value of the corresponding property of the form's domain data (e.g. if you bind an object to the form). If you want to override this initial value for the form or an individual field, you can set it in the data option:

1
2
3
4
5
6

use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\HiddenType;
// ...

$builder->add('token', HiddenType::class, [
    'data' => 'abcdef',
]);

disabled ¶

type: boolean default: false

If you don't want a user to modify the value of a field, you can set the disabled option to true. Any submitted value will be ignored.

help ¶

type: string or TranslatableInterface default: null

Allows you to define a help message for the form field, which by default is rendered below the field:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13

use Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatableMessage;

$builder
    ->add('zipCode', null, [
        'help' => 'The ZIP/Postal code for your credit card\'s billing address.',
    ])

    // ...

    ->add('status', null, [
        'help' => new TranslatableMessage('order.status', ['%order_id%' => $order->getId()], 'store'),
    ])
;

help_attr ¶

type: array default: []

Sets the HTML attributes for the element used to display the help message of the form field. Its value is an associative array with HTML attribute names as keys. These attributes can also be set in the template:

1
2
3

{{ form_help(form.name, 'Your name', {
    'help_attr': {'class': 'CUSTOM_LABEL_CLASS'}
}) }}

help_html ¶

type: boolean default: false

By default, the contents of the help option are escaped before rendering them in the template. Set this option to true to not escape them, which is useful when the help contains HTML elements.

inherit_data ¶

type: boolean default: false

This option determines if the form will inherit data from its parent form. This can be useful if you have a set of fields that are duplicated across multiple forms. See How to Reduce Code Duplication with "inherit_data".

invalid_message_parameters ¶

type: array default: []

When setting the invalid_message option, you may need to include some variables in the string. This can be done by adding placeholders to that option and including the variables in this option:

1
2
3
4
5

$builder->add('someField', SomeFormType::class, [
    // ...
    'invalid_message' => 'You entered an invalid value, it should include %num% letters',
    'invalid_message_parameters' => ['%num%' => 6],
]);

mapped ¶

type: boolean default: true

If you wish the field to be ignored when reading or writing to the object, you can set the mapped option to false.

row_attr ¶

type: array default: []

An associative array of the HTML attributes added to the element which is used to render the form type row:

1
2
3

$builder->add('body', TextareaType::class, [
    'row_attr' => ['class' => 'text-editor', 'id' => '...'],
]);
