Forms
Most web applications contain one or more forms to collect user input. Symfony comes with a Form component and the FormBuilder functions that make creating and maintaining forms and their validation logic easier. The Symfony Plugin provides code completion and navigation for forms.
Install the required plugins
This functionality relies on the PHP, Symfony Support, and PHP Annotations plugins that should be installed and enabled in your IDE.
The plugins are available only in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate.
Press Control+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select .
Switch to the Marketplace tab and use the search field to find the plugins.
Click Install next to each plugin and restart the IDE if prompted.
Code completion in forms
IntelliJ IDEA provides code completion for form fields and fields' parameters. In the editor, press Control+Space to invoke code completion and do any of the following:
Access the fields that were posted by calling the
createFormmethod of a form type implementingFormTypeInterface.
Access the fields to be added or modified by means of the
FormBuilder.
Specify the fields' parameters.
Specify translation keys and domains in applications that require internationalization and make use of the Translation component.
Code navigation in forms
To navigate to the declaration of a field, position the caret at its usage and press Control+B. Alternatively, Control+LeftClick the usage.
