Remove / Replace the username field with email using FOSUserBundle in Symfony2 / Symfony3

Question

I only want to have email as mode of login, I don\'t want to have username. Is it possible with symfony2/symfony3 and FOSUserbundle?

I read here http://groups.google

Answer 1

I was able to do this by overriding both the registration and profile form type detailed here and removing the username field

$builder->remove('username');

Along with overriding the setEmail method in my concrete user class:

 public function setEmail($email) 
 {
    $email = is_null($email) ? '' : $email;
    parent::setEmail($email);
    $this->setUsername($email);
  }
