How to set default value for form field in Symfony2?

Question

Is there an easy way to set a default value for text form field?

Answer 1

There is a very simple way, you can set defaults as here :

$defaults = array('sortby' => $sortby,'category' => $category,'page' => 1);

$form = $this->formfactory->createBuilder('form', $defaults)
->add('sortby','choice')
->add('category','choice')
->add('page','hidden')
->getForm();
