Pass array of options to form builder

This post is just to archive a solution I used to pass an option list, to create a selectbox. The code I used to create the form type:

<?php
namespace Mb\MHoverAdBundle\Form\Type;

use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolverInterface;

class SettingType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) {
        $builder->add('webmatchId', 'choice', array('choices' => $options['webmatchList']))
            ->add('description')
            ->add('hash')
            ->add('save', 'submit');
    }

    public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver) {
        $resolver->setRequired(array('webmatchList'));
    }

    public function getName() {
        return 'setting';
    }
}

<?php

namespace Mb\MHoverAdBundle\Form\Type;

use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;

use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;

use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolverInterface;

class SettingType extends AbstractType

{

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) {

$builder->add('webmatchId', 'choice', array('choices' => $options['webmatchList']))

->add('description')

->add('hash')

->add('save', 'submit');

}

public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver) {

$resolver->setRequired(array('webmatchList'));

}

public function getName() {

return 'setting';

}

The setDefaultOptions method makes sure you pass the array of options. If you don’t, it will throw an exception.
