Symfony form query_buider and entity repository

Question

I\'m trying to create a form with data in collection type depending on the user being logged. I\'m following this chapter of the Symfony cookbook.

Everything works f

Answer 1

It should be easy. Do the following:

public function queryOwnedBy($user) {

    $query = $this->createQueryBuilder('a')
            ->from('MyBundle:Article', 'a')
            ->innerJoin('a.owndBy', 'u')
            ->where('u.id = :id')                
            ->setParameter('id', $user->getId());

    return $query;
}

public function findOwnedBy($user) {
    return $this->queryOwnedBy($user)
            ->getQuery()
            ->getResult();
}

Then in the form builder:

$formOptions = array(
    'class' => 'Acme\DemoBundle\Entity\User',
    'multiple' => false,
    'expanded' => false,
    'property' => 'fullName',
    'query_builder' => function(EntityRepository $er) use ($user) {
        return $er->queryOwnedBy($user);
    },
);

EDIT

Thank's for ncatnow and unagi I've changed the previous functions to return the querybuilder

Answer 2

I just did a little fix of saamorim answer. The working code would be something like this:

public function queryOwnedBy($user) {

    $query = $this->createQueryBuilder("u")
            ->where('u.id = :id')                
            ->setParameter('id', $user->getId());

    return $query;
}

public function findOwnedBy($user) {
    return $this->queryOwnedBy($user)
            ->getQuery()
            ->getResult();
}
