PhpStorm 2024.2 Help

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 Support plugin provides code completion and navigation for forms.

  • Specify the fields' options.

    Symfony form builder field parameters completion

  • Specify translation keys and domains in applications that require internationalization and make use of the Translation component.
