I’m new to symfony and want to to create a simple contact form, take the submitted values and send them as an Email. I don’t want to save anything in the database.
I followed the documentation on this page: https://symfony.com/doc/current/form/without_class.html
I created a new page/action with the code from the page above:
JavaScript
x
/**
* @Route("/contact", name="page_contact")
*/
public function contact(Request $request)
{
$defaultData = ['message' => 'Type your message here'];
$form = $this->createFormBuilder($defaultData)
->add('name', TextType::class)
->add('email', EmailType::class)
->add('message', TextareaType::class)
->add('send', SubmitType::class)
->getForm();
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
// data is an array with "name", "email", and "message" keys
$data = $form->getData();
}
return $this->render('Shop/contact.html.twig', [
'form' => $form
]);
}
But this gives me an error:
JavaScript
SymfonyComponentFormExceptionInvalidArgumentException:
Could not load type "DoctrineDBALTypesTextType": class does not implement "SymfonyComponentFormFormTypeInterface".

What am I doing wrong? Why is there all the Doctrine
stuff in the Stack Trace?

Answer
You probably imported the wrong type. Instead of:
JavaScript
use DoctrineDBALTypesTextType;
you need:
JavaScript
use SymfonyComponentFormExtensionCoreTypeTextType;
