DateIntervalType Field ¶
This field allows the user to select an interval of time. For example, if you want to allow the user to choose how often they receive a status email, they could use this field to choose intervals like every "10 minutes" or "3 days".
The field can be rendered in a variety of different ways (see widget) and can be configured to
give you a DateInterval
object, an ISO 8601 duration string (e.g. P1DT12H
)
or an array (see input).
Underlying Data Type | can be DateInterval , string or array (see the input option) |
Rendered as | single text box, multiple text boxes or select fields - see the widget option |
Default invalid message | Please choose a valid date interval. |
Legacy invalid message | The value {{ value }} is not valid. |
Parent type | FormType |
Class | DateIntervalType |
Tip
The full list of options defined and inherited by this form type is available running this command in your app:
1 2 |
# replace 'FooType' by the class name of your form type
$ php bin/console debug:form FooType
|
Basic Usage ¶
This field type is highly configurable. The most important options are input and widget.
You can configure a lot of different options, including exactly which range options to show (e.g. don't show "months", but do show "days"):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
$builder->add('remindEvery', DateIntervalType::class, [
'widget' => 'integer', // render a text field for each part
// 'input' => 'string', // if you want the field to return a ISO 8601 string back to you
// customize which text boxes are shown
'with_years' => false,
'with_months' => false,
'with_days' => true,
'with_hours' => true,
]);
|
Field Options ¶
days
¶
type: array
default: 0 to 31
List of days available to the days field type. This option is only relevant
when the widget
option is set to choice
:
1 2 3 4 5 |
// values displayed to users range from 0 to 30 (both inclusive)
'days' => range(1, 31),
// values displayed to users range from 1 to 31 (both inclusive)
'days' => array_combine(range(1, 31), range(1, 31)),
|
placeholder
¶
type: string
or array
If your widget option is set to choice
, then this field will be represented
as a series of select
boxes. The placeholder
option can be used to
add a "blank" entry to the top of each select box:
1 2 3 |
$builder->add('remindEvery', DateIntervalType::class, [
'placeholder' => '',
]);
|
Alternatively, you can specify a string to be displayed for the "blank" value:
1 2 3 |
$builder->add('remindEvery', DateIntervalType::class, [
'placeholder' => ['years' => 'Years', 'months' => 'Months', 'days' => 'Days'],
]);
|
hours
¶
type: array
default: 0 to 24
List of hours available to the hours field type. This option is only relevant
when the widget
option is set to choice
:
1 2 3 4 5 |
// values displayed to users range from 0 to 23 (both inclusive)
'hours' => range(1, 24),
// values displayed to users range from 1 to 24 (both inclusive)
'hours' => array_combine(range(1, 24), range(1, 24)),
|
input
¶
type: string
default: dateinterval
The format of the input data - i.e. the format that the interval is stored on your underlying object. Valid values are:
string
(a string formatted with ISO 8601 standard, e.g.P7Y6M5DT12H15M30S
)文字列 (ISO 8601 標準でフォーマットされた文字列。例: P7Y6M5DT12H15M30S)dateinterval
(aDateInterval
object)dateinterval (DateInterval オブジェクト)array
(e.g.['days' => '1', 'hours' => '12',]
)配列 (例: ['days' => '1', 'hours' => '12',])
The value that comes back from the form will also be normalized back into this format.
labels
¶
type: array
default: (see below)
The labels displayed for each of the elements of this type. The default values
are null
, so they display the "humanized version" of the child names (Invert

(orPnW
if using only weeks).single_text: テキスト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、フォーム PnYnMnDTnHnMnS (週のみを使用する場合は PnW) に対して検証されます。
with_days
¶
type: Boolean
default: true
Whether or not to include days in the input. This will result in an additional input to capture days.
with_hours
¶
type: Boolean
default: false
Whether or not to include hours in the input. This will result in an additional input to capture hours.
with_invert
¶
type: Boolean
default: false
Whether or not to include invert in the input. This will result in an additional
checkbox.
This can not be used when the widget option is set to single_text
.
with_minutes
¶
type: Boolean
default: false
Whether or not to include minutes in the input. This will result in an additional input to capture minutes.
with_months
¶
type: Boolean
default: true
Whether or not to include months in the input. This will result in an additional input to capture months.
with_seconds
¶
type: Boolean
default: false
Whether or not to include seconds in the input. This will result in an additional input to capture seconds.
with_weeks
¶
type: Boolean
default: false
Whether or not to include weeks in the input. This will result in an additional input to capture weeks.
with_years
¶
type: Boolean
default: true
Whether or not to include years in the input. This will result in an additional input to capture years.
years
¶
type: array
default: 0 to 100
List of years available to the years field type. This option is only relevant
when the widget
option is set to choice
:
1 2 3 4 5 |
// values displayed to users range from 0 to 99 (both inclusive)
'years' => range(1, 100),
// values displayed to users range from 1 to 100 (both inclusive)
'years' => array_combine(range(1, 100), range(1, 100)),
|
Overridden Options ¶
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).
Inherited Options ¶
These options inherit from the form type:
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'],
]);
|
See also
Use the row_attr
option if you want to add these attributes to
the form type row element.
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',
]);
|
Caution
The data
option always overrides the value taken from the domain data
(object) when rendering. This means the object value is also overridden when
the form edits an already persisted object, causing it to lose its
persisted value when the form is submitted.
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'),
])
;
|
6.2
The support for TranslatableInterface
objects as help contents was
introduced in Symfony 6.2.
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".
Caution
When a field has the inherit_data
option set, it uses the data of
the parent form as is. This means that
Data Transformers won't be
applied to that field.
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' => '...'],
]);
|
See also
Use the attr
option if you want to add these attributes to
the form type widget element.
