Overriding Forms¶

Extending base Forms¶

All Sylius form types live in Sylius\Bundle\XyzBundle\Form\Type namespace.

Let’s assume you want to add “phone” and remove “company” fields to the Sylius address form.

You have to create your own AddressType class, which will extend the base form type.

namespace Acme\Bundle\ShopBundle\Form\Type;

use Sylius\Bundle\AddressingBundle\Form\Type\AddressType as BaseAddressType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;

class AddressType extends BaseAddressType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        parent::buildForm($builder, $options); // Add default fields.

        $builder->remove('company');
        $builder->add('phone', 'text', array('required' => false));
    }
}

Now, define the new form class in the app/config/config.yml.

# app/config/config.yml

sylius_addressing:
    driver: doctrine/orm
    classes:
        address:
            form: Acme\ShopBundle\Form\Type\AddressType

Done! Sylius will now use your custom address form everywhere!

What has happened?

• Parameter sylius.form.type.address.class contains Acme\\Bundle\\ShopBundle\\Form\\Type\\AddressType.
• sylius.form.type.address form type service uses your custom class.
• sylius_address form type uses your new form everywhere.
