ChamberOrchestra Form Bundle

Symfony bundle that streamlines JSON‑first form handling for APIs. It provides helper traits for controller flow, specialized form types, reusable transformers, and standardized error views (RFC 7807 style) to keep API responses consistent.

Features

• Controller helpers via FormTrait and ApiFormTrait for submit/validate/response flow.
• JSON and file payload handling for mutation requests.
• API form base types (GetForm, PostForm, QueryForm, MutationForm) with empty block prefixes.
• Custom form types: BooleanType, TimestampType, HiddenEntityType.
• Data transformers for booleans, timestamps, arrays, and JSON strings.
• Problem/validation views and violation mapping for structured error output.
• UniqueField validation constraint for Doctrine repositories.
• TelType extension to normalize phone input.

Requirements

• PHP 8.4
• Symfony 8.0 components (framework-bundle, form, validator, serializer, config, dependency-injection, runtime)
• doctrine/orm 3.6.*
• chamber-orchestra/view-bundle 8.0.*

Installation

composer require chamber-orchestra/form-bundle:8.0.*

Enable the bundle in config/bundles.php:

return [
    // ...
    ChamberOrchestra\FormBundle\ChamberOrchestraFormBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Usage Overview

• Controller flow helpers live in src/FormTrait.php and src/ApiFormTrait.php.
• Service wiring lives in src/Resources/config/services.php.
• Form types are under src/Type/, transformers under src/Transformer/.

ApiFormTrait Example

use ChamberOrchestra\FormBundle\ApiFormTrait;
use ChamberOrchestra\ViewBundle\View\ViewInterface;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

final class SearchCourseAction
{
    use ApiFormTrait;

    public function __invoke(Request $request): ViewInterface
    {
        $form = $this->createForm(SearchCourseForm::class);
        $form->submit($request->query->all());

        return $this->onFormSubmitted($form, function (SearchCourseData $dto) use ($request) {
            $entities = $this->er->searchCourses(
                $pagination = $this->getPagination(['per_page_limit' => $this->getPerPageLimit($request)]),
                $dto->query,
                $dto->brands,
                $dto->topics,
                $dto->products,
                $dto->durations
            );

            return new PaginatedView($entities, $pagination, CourseView::class);
        });
    }
}
