class DateTimeType extends AbstractType

Constants

DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT

DEFAULT_TIME_FORMAT

HTML5_FORMAT

This is not quite the HTML5 format yet, because ICU lacks the capability of parsing and generating RFC 3339 dates, which are like the below pattern but with a timezone suffix.

The
timezone suffix is

* "Z" for UTC
* "(-|+)HH:mm" for other timezones (note the colon!)

For more information see:

http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/datetime#TOC-Date-Time-Format-Syntax
http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/input.datetime.html
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339

An ICU ticket was created:
http://icu-project.org/trac/ticket/9421

It was supposedly fixed, but is not available in all PHP installations
yet. To temporarily circumvent this issue, DateTimeToRfc3339Transformer
is used when the format matches this constant.

public buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)

Builds the form.

This method is called for each type in the hierarchy starting form the
top most type. Type extensions can further modify the form.

Parameters

FormBuilderInterface $builder The form builder
array $options The options

at line 179
public buildView(FormView $view, FormInterface $form, array $options)

Builds the form view.

This method is called for each type in the hierarchy starting form the
top most type. Type extensions can further modify the view.

A view of a form is built before the views of the child forms are built.
This means that you cannot access child views in this method. If you need
to do so, move your logic to {@link finishView()} instead.

Parameters

FormView $view The view
FormInterface $form The form
array $options The options

in AbstractType at line 38
public finishView(FormView $view, FormInterface $form, array $options)

Finishes the form view.

This method gets called for each type in the hierarchy starting form the
top most type. Type extensions can further modify the view.

When this method is called, views of the form's children have already
been built and finished and can be accessed. You should only implement
such logic in this method that actually accesses child views. For everything
else you are recommended to implement {@link buildView()} instead.

Parameters

FormView $view The view
FormInterface $form The form
array $options The options

at line 194
public setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)

Sets the default options for this type.

Parameters

OptionsResolverInterface $resolver The resolver for the options.

in AbstractType at line 52
public string|null|FormTypeInterface getParent()

Returns the name of the parent type.

You can also return a type instance from this method, although doing so
is discouraged because it leads to a performance penalty. The support
for returning type instances may be dropped from future releases.

Return Value

string|null|FormTypeInterface The name of the parent type if any, null otherwise.

at line 277
public string getName()

Returns the name of this type.

Return Value

string The name of this type
