i'm looking for nice way to persist 2 objects to db via doctrine in symfony 2.3
class CatController extends Controller
{
/**
* Creates a new Cat entity.
*
*/
public function createAction(Request $request)
{
$entity = new Cat();
$form = $this->createCreateForm($entity);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isValid()) {
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist($entity); <-- Split it or what ?
$em->flush();
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('cat_show', array('id' => $entity->getId())));
}
return $this->render('ViszmanCatBundle:Cat:new.html.twig', array(
'entity' => $entity,
'form' => $form->createView(),
));
}
when form is validated i can get post data and create 2 objects with that data but i think there should be clearer way to do this, above code is working not as i wanted, it only inserts foreign key to related entity when i do this:
class CatType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('name', 'text')
->add('meetings','collection',
array('type' => new MeetingType(),
'allow_add' => true,
'allow_delete' => true,
'prototype' => true,
)
);
}
class MeetingType extends AbstractType
{
/**
* @param FormBuilderInterface $builder
* @param array $options
*/
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$plDays = array('Poniedziałek', 'Wtorek', 'Środa', 'Czwartek', 'Piątek', 'Sobota', 'Niedziela');
$builder
->add('meetingDay', 'choice', array('choices' => $plDays))
->add('meetingTime', 'time',)
->add('cat', 'entity', array('class' => 'ViszmanCatBundle:Cat', 'property' => 'name'))
;
}

this generate embedded form with unwanted data, meaning in Meeting section i need to choice Cat, but i dont want to, what i want is that meeting is on default attached to Cat on create, update. Do i need to change something in Cat or Meeting Entity? I don't know if i'm clear, sorry for my poor english
