I'm working on a web application. I have entities that are supposed to be created and edited from the web (quite classic, isn't it).
So I want to use the form generation (with Type and Handler) Symfony offers, but I don't simply want to print them in the standard way. I'd like to call those forms from jquery, so that I can use validation and such in jQuery plugins such as jEditable.
Therefore, I suppose the best way to do this is to send my form as a json to the jquery function, which will put it in my HTML element.
What I've done :
jQuery:
$.get("getorganisationform/"+curOId, function(data){
if(data.responseCode==200 ){
$( "#innerModal" ).append(data.form);
}
});
Controller:
$form = $this->createForm(new OrganisationType, $organisation);
$formHandler = new OrganisationHandler($form, $this->get('request'), $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager());
if( $formHandler->process() )
{
return $this->redirect( $this->generateUrl('adminpanel') );
}
return new Response(json_encode($form), 200);
The json_encode() actually doesn't send anything, as $form is an object. Now I have several questions:
- Is there a way to get the html elements of the form?
- Is it necessary then to use json?
- Is there a better way to reuse form generation in jquery? (I'm thinking about jeditable here)
Thanks in advance!
