Inherit form or add type to each form

Question

I am searching for an easy way to add a bundle of fields to each form.

I have found a way to extend the AbstractType and use the buildForm meth

Answer 1

Have you tried using inheritance?

This is really simple, first you have to define a form type:

# file: Your\Bundle\Form\BaseType.php
add('name', 'text');

        $builder->add('add', 'submit');
    }

    public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
    {
        $resolver->setDefaults(array(
            'data_class' => 'Your\Bundle\Entity\YourEntity',
        ));
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return 'base';
    }
}

Then you can extend this form type:

# file: Your\Bundle\Form\ExtendType.php
remove('some_field');

        $builder->add('number', 'integer');
    }

    public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
    {
        $resolver->setDefaults(array(
            'data_class' => 'Your\Bundle\Entity\YourEntity',
        ));
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return 'extend';
    }
}

The BaseType will display a name field and an add submit button. The ExtendType will display a name field, an add submit button and a number field.
