Generic solution to create forms "on the fly" basing on class metadata

Symfony Form Generator

This package adds feature for generating symfony forms "on the fly" basing on class metadata like: - Form annotations, - type hints, - phpdoc comments, - validator annotations., _(*1)

Created forms are able to submit with raw data (boolean, integer, string, array, real, double, float)., _(*2)

Example

Object of given class:, _(*3)

use Lzakrzewski\SymfonyFormGenerator\Annotation\Form;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class ObjectWithMixedMetadata
{
    /**
     * @var bool
     */
    public $propertyBoolean;

    /**
     * @Assert\Count(max="5")
     */
    public $propertyArray;

    /**
     * @Form\Field("integer", options={"label"="Property Integer"})
     */
    public $propertyInteger;

    public $propertyDateTime;

    public $propertyUndefined;

    public function __construct($propertyBoolean, $propertyArray, $propertyInteger, \DateTime $propertyDateTime, $propertyUndefined)
    {
        $this->propertyBoolean   = $propertyBoolean;
        $this->propertyArray     = $propertyArray;
        $this->propertyInteger   = $propertyInteger;
        $this->propertyDateTime  = $propertyDateTime;
        $this->propertyUndefined = $propertyUndefined;
    }
}

after:, _(*4)

$form = GeneratorFactory::createGenerator()
    ->generateFormBuilder(ObjectWithMixedMetadata::class)
    ->getForm();

will have form equivalent:, _(*5)

use Lzakrzewski\SymfonyFormGenerator\Form\Type\GeneratorFormType;
use Lzakrzewski\SymfonyFormGenerator\ObjectWithMixedMetadata;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Forms;

Forms::createFormFactory()->createBuilder()
    ->create('form', new GeneratorFormType(ObjectWithMixedMetadata::class))
    ->add('propertyBoolean', 'checkbox')
    ->add('propertyArray', 'generator_array')
    ->add('propertyInteger', 'integer')
    ->add('propertyDateTime', 'generator_datetime')
    ->add('propertyUndefined', 'generator_string');

generator_array type extends collection, generator_datetime type extends datetime, generator_string type extends text., _(*6)

generator_* types are custom form types for better support raw values., _(*7)
