About

This bundle functionality is to help you manage multiple steps forms in a single controller with a single view. This bundle has been made for Symfony > 2.5.

Requirements

Require PHP version 5.3 or greater.

Installation

{
    "require": {
        "edouardkombo/multi-step-forms-bundle": "dev-master"
    }
}

Now, install the vendor

php composer.phar install

new EdouardKombo\MultiStepFormsBundle\EdouardKomboMultiStepFormsBundle(),

Add MultiStepFormsBundle routes in your app/config/routing.yml, we will see further how to customize routes

edouard_kombo_multi_step_forms:
resource: "@EdouardKomboMultiStepFormsBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
prefix:   /{_locale}/registration/step

Now, add the config parameters inside your app/config/config.yml. The default configs are designed for a multistep registration form, but you can easily extend them to any kind of forms you want.

edouard_kombo_multi_step_forms:
    multistep_forms:
        #Create your own param here, name it how you want, (user_registration) is just for demo
        user_registration:

            #Mandatory: Main entity where to save your forms datas
            entity_namespace: 'your_form_entity_namespace'
            
            #Mandatory: Form types in order of execution
            forms_order: ['namespace_of_first_form', 'namespace_of_second_form', 'namespace_of_third_form']
        
            #Mandatory: The three below form types will be redirected to a single action controller that will save datas
            #Of course, you can customize the way you want by overriding
            actions_order: ['edouard_kombo_multi_step_forms_create', 'edouard_kombo_multi_step_forms_create', 'edouard_kombo_multi_step_forms_create']
        
            #Mandatory: Each form will be render in a single view template specified in "indexAction", in the main controller
            #The last parameter is the route to be redirected to when the process is finished
            redirect_order: ['edouard_kombo_multi_step_forms_show', 'edouard_kombo_multi_step_forms_show', 'edouard_kombo_multi_step_forms_show', 'frontend_payment_choice']
            
            #Mandatory: This option is mandatory for routes
            allowed_roles: ['ROLE_USER', 'ROLE_MANAGER']
            
            #Optional: Form entity that will trigger authentication in case of user registration form
            authentication_trigger: 'form_type_namespace_that_triggers_authentication'
            
            #Optional: Your specified firewall (in security.yml), in case of user registration form
            authentication_firewall: 'main'
            
            #Optional: Where Doctrine will find the user, just after subsscription, for authentication
            authentication_entity_provider: 'VendorNameBundle:Entity'

            #Optional: Your mailer service, in case of user registration form
            #If not specified, no mail will be sent to user
            #authentication_mailer_service: 'your_mailer_servce'

Documentation

All the magic of MultiStepFormsBundle is written in one controller, one listener and one helper. You will only need two routes inside the global route you defined.

Example: You want to setup a multistep registration form.

Create a "UserStepRegistrationController.php" controller in your userBundle and override the EdouardKombo\MultiStepFormsBundle\Controller\MultiStepFormsController.php class with it. Make sure to target a single template view in your bundle.
Create a "LoginListener" in your userBundle and override the EdouardKombo\MultiStepFormsBundle\Listener\LoginListener.php class with it.
Create a "MultiStepFormsHelper" in your userBundle and override the EdouardKombo\MultiStepFormsBundle\Helper\MultiStepFormsHelper.php class with it.
Override your services and inject the correct parameter specified in app/config/config.yml, here "user registration".

parameters: multistep_forms.login_listener.class: VendorName\UserBundle\Listener\LoginListener multistep_forms.controller.class: VendorName\UserBundle\Controller\MultiStepFormsController multistep_forms.helper.class: VendorName\UserBundle\Helper\MultiStepFormsHelper

services: multistep_forms.helper: class: %multistep_forms.helper.class% arguments: - %multistep_forms.CONFIG_PARAMETER% #Here it will be "user_registration" - @security.context - @service_container
```
 multistep_forms.login_listener:
     class: %multistep_forms.login_listener.class%
     arguments:
         - @doctrine.orm.entity_manager
         - @service_container
         - @security.context

 multistep_forms.controller:
     class: %multistep_forms.controller.class%     
```
Define your routes. Only two routes are needed, show and create. Routes have this format: /show/{user_role}/{step}
- {user_role}: is the role you want the user to be registered (it has no incidence for other forms but is mandatory).
- {step}: current step, depending on the configurations

Define your global route in app/config/routing.yml

frontend_multistep_registration:
    resource: "@VendorUserBundle/Resources/config/routing/multistep_registration.xml"
    prefix:   /{_locale}/registration/step

In your multistep_registration.xml

<route id="frontend_multistep_registration_show" pattern="/show/{user_role}/{step}">
    <default key="_controller">VendorUserBundle:UserStepRegistration:index</default>
    <default key="user_role">manager</default>
    <requirement key="step">\d+</requirement>
    <requirement key="user_role">[a-zA-Z]+</requirement>         
</route> 

<route id="frontend_multistep_registration_create" pattern="/create/{user_role}/{step}">
    <default key="_controller">VendorUserBundle:UserStepRegistration:save</default>
    <default key="user_role">manager</default>
    <requirement key="_method">POST</requirement>
    <requirement key="step">\d+</requirement>
    <requirement key="user_role">[a-zA-Z]+</requirement>        
</route>

Change the bundle configs in app/config/congif.yml and that's ok, you're ready to go.

Contributing
