Class ButtonType

Inherited Options

The following options are defined in the BaseType class. The BaseType class is the parent class for both the button type and the FormType, but it is not part of the form type tree (i.e. it cannot be used as a form type on its own).

attr

type: array default: array()

If you want to add extra attributes to the HTML representation of the button, you can use attr option. It's an associative array with HTML attribute as a key. This can be useful when you need to set a custom class for the button:

1
2
3
4
5
6
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\ButtonType;
// ...

$builder->add('save', ButtonType::class, array(
    'attr' => array('class' => 'save'),
));

disabled

type: boolean default: false

If you don't want a user to be able to click a button, you can set the disabled option to true. It will not be possible to submit the form with this button, not even when bypassing the browser and sending a request manually, for example with cURL.

label

type: string default: The label is "guessed" from the field name

Sets the label that will be displayed on the button. The label can also be directly set inside the template:

  • Twig
  • PHP
1
{{ form_widget(form.save, { 'label': 'Click me' }) }}
1
<?php echo $view['form']->widget($form['save'], array('label' => 'Click me')) ?>

translation_domain

type: string default: messages

This is the translation domain that will be used for any labels or options that are rendered for this button.
