Introduction
I have been trying to figure out how to create a reset password form that's governed by username value.
The Error
Path Message Invalid value Violation
data.email This value should not be blank. null
ConstraintViolation {#945 ▼
-message: "This value should not be blank."
-messageTemplate: "This value should not be blank."
-parameters: [▶]
-plural: null
-root: Form {#620 ▶}
-propertyPath: "data.email"
-invalidValue: null
-constraint: NotBlank {#477 …}
-code: "c1051bb4-d103-4f74-8988-acbcafc7fdc3"
-cause: null
}
What's expected
Update my User Object with the new password.
My Code
ForgotController.php
I know this probably isn't the correct way to get the password, but searching Symfony 4 forgotten password form brings up symfony2.4 posts which aren't relevant to my version
<?php
namespace App\Controller\User;
use App\Entity\User;
use App\Form\User\ChangePasswordType;
use App\Repository\UserRepository;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Encoder\UserPasswordEncoderInterface;
class ForgotController extends Controller
{
public function forgot(Request $request, UserPasswordEncoderInterface $encoder)
{
$entityManager = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$changePassword = $request->request->get('change_password');
$username = $changePassword['username'];
$password = $changePassword['plainPassword']['first'];
$user = $entityManager->getRepository(User::class)->findBy(['username' => $username]);
$userEntity = new User();
if (!$user) {
$this->addFlash('danger', 'User not found for '. $username);
}
$form = $this->createForm(ChangePasswordType::class, $userEntity);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
try {
$pass = $encoder->encodePassword($userEntity, $password);
$userEntity->setPassword($pass);
$entityManager->flush();
$this->addFlash('success', 'Password Changed!');
} catch (Exception $e) {
$this->addFlash('danger', 'Something went skew-if. Please try again.');
}
return $this->redirectToRoute('login');
}
return $this->render('user/forgot.html.twig', array('form' => $form->createView()));
}
}
ChangePasswordType.php
<?php
namespace App\Form\User;
use App\Entity\User;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\PasswordType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\RepeatedType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;
class ChangePasswordType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder->add('username', TextType::class)
->add('plainPassword', RepeatedType::class, array(
'type' => PasswordType::class,
'first_options' => array('label' => 'New Password'),
'second_options' => array('label' => 'Repeat New Password')
));
}
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => User::class
));
}
}
forgot.html.twig
{% include 'builder/header.html.twig' %}
<div class="user-container" id="user-content">
{% block body %}
{% include 'builder/notices.html.twig' %}
<div class="user-container">
<i class="fas fa-user-edit fa-5x"></i>
</div>
<hr />
{{ form_start(form) }}
{{ form_row(form.username, { 'attr': {'class': 'form-control'} }) }}
{{ form_row(form.plainPassword.first, { 'attr': {'class': 'form-control'} }) }}
{{ form_row(form.plainPassword.second, { 'attr': {'class': 'form-control'} }) }}
<div class="register-btn-container">
<button class="btn btn-danger" id="return-to-dash-btn" type="button">Cancel!</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Update!</button>
</div>
{{ form_end(form) }}
{% endblock %}
</div>
{% include 'builder/footer.html.twig' %}
I'm not sure why email is even being mentioned unless it's trying to insert a new user into a database but it shouldn't be trying to do that based on my controller? How can I go about adding a forgot password form that's identified by username?
