I have a form whose content is created from a DB.
in my controller i have:
/**
* @Route("/HR/manage/{projectID}", name="hr_manage")
*/
public function manageHRAction(Request $request, $projectID)
{
//here I get all the data from DB and create the form
if ($form->isValid())
{
//here I do all the relevant changes in the DB
return $this->render('HR/show.html.twig', array('hrlist' => $HRsInMyDomain, 'form' => $form->createView(), 'HRs' => $HRsInThisProject, 'project' => $prj, ));
}
return $this->render('HR/show.html.twig', array('hrlist' => $HRsInMyDomain, 'form' => $form->createView(), 'HRs' => $HRsInThisProject, 'project' => $prj, ));
}
It updates the info on the DB properly, but it does not build again the form with updated data. Instead of the return inside the "isValid()" I simply need a refresh on the current page.
I assume it's possible and easy to accomplish, but I failed to find how to do it :/
EDIT - here comes more relevant code:
/**
* @Route("/HR/manage/{projectID}", name="hr_manage")
*/
public function manageHRAction(Request $request, $projectID)
{
$user = $this->container->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser(); //get current user
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager(); //connect to DB
$prj = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('AppBundle:Project')->findOneById($projectID);
[...]
// here comes some code to generate the list of $HRsInThisProject and the list of roles ($rolesListForForm)
[...]
foreach ($HRsInThisProject as $key => $HR)
{
$form->add('roleOf_'.$key, 'choice', array('choices' => $rolesListForForm, 'required' => true, 'data' => $HR['role'], 'label' => false, ));
$form->add('isActive_'.$key, 'choice', array('choices' => [0 => 'Inactive', 1 => 'Active'] , 'required' => true, 'data' => $HR['is_active'], 'label' => false, ));
}
[...]
// here there is some code to get the $HRsInMyDomainForForm
[...]
$form->add('HRid', 'choice', array('choices' => $HRsInMyDomainForForm,'required' => false, 'placeholder' => 'Choose a resource', 'label' => false, ));
$form->add('role', 'choice', array('choices' => $rolesListForForm,'required' => false, 'placeholder' => 'Choose a role', 'label' => false, ));
$form->add('save', 'submit', array('label' => 'Save'));
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isValid())
{
{
[...] here there is a huge portion of code that determines if I need to generate a new "event" to be stored, or even multiple events as I can change several form fields at once
// If I needed to create the event I persist it (this is inside a foreach)
$em->persist($newHREvent);
}
$em->flush();
return $this->render('HR/show.html.twig', array('projectID' => $prj->getId(), 'hrlist' => $HRsInMyDomain, 'form' => $form->createView(), 'HRs' => $HRsInThisProject, 'project' => $prj, ));
}
return $this->render('HR/show.html.twig', array('projectID' => $prj->getId(), 'hrlist' => $HRsInMyDomain, 'form' => $form->createView(), 'HRs' => $HRsInThisProject, 'project' => $prj, ));
}
I also include a screenshot of the form:
If a user selects to add a new resouce, I need to persist it to DB (and that is done properly) but then I need to see it in the list of available HRs, without the need for the user to reload the page.
More dynamic way would be:
$request = $this->getRequest();
return $this->redirectToRoute($request->get('_route'), $request->query->all());
or simply
return $this->redirect($request->getUri());
