checkbox Field Type
checkbox Field Type¶
Creates a single input checkbox. This should always be used for a field that has a Boolean value: if the box is checked, the field will be set to true, if the box is unchecked, the value will be set to false.
| Rendered as | input checkbox field |
| Options | |
| Inherited options | |
| Parent type | field |
| Class | CheckboxType |
Example Usage¶
1 2 3 4 | $builder->add('public', 'checkbox', array(
'label' => 'Show this entry publicly?',
'required' => false,
));
|
Field Options¶
value¶
type: mixed default: 1
The value that's actually used as the value for the checkbox. This does not affect the value that's set on your object.
Inherited options¶
These options inherit from the field type:
required¶
type: Boolean default: true
If true, an HTML5 required attribute will be rendered. The corresponding
label will also render with a required class.
This is superficial and independent from validation. At best, if you let Symfony guess your field type, then the value of this option will be guessed from your validation information.
label¶
type: string default: The label is "guessed" from the field name
Sets the label that will be used when rendering the field. The label can also be directly set inside the template:
1 | {{ form_label(form.name, 'Your name') }}
|
read_only¶
type: Boolean default: false
If this option is true, the field will be rendered with the readonly
attribute so that the field is not editable.
disabled¶
type: boolean default: false
If you don't want a user to modify the value of a field, you can set the disabled option to true. Any submitted value will be ignored.
error_bubbling¶
type: Boolean default: false unless the form is compound
If true, any errors for this field will be passed to the parent field or form. For example, if set to true on a normal field, any errors for that field will be attached to the main form, not to the specific field.
mapped¶
type: boolean
If you wish the field to be ignored when reading or writing to the object, you
can set the mapped option to false.
