README

The form handlers are designed to enhance the developer experience (DX) when working with Symfony forms. It makes the controllers simpler by moving the form success and failure flows to a separate class.

class YourController extends Controller
{
    public function formAction(Request $request, MyEntityUser $user)
    {
        $handler = $this->get('hostnet.form_handler.factory')->create(MyFormHandler::class);

        if (($response = $handler->handle($request, new MyFormData())) instanceof RedirectResponse) {
            return $response;
        }

        // regular or in-valid flow
        return $this->render->renderView('/your/form.html.twig', [
            'form' => $handler->getForm()->createView()
        ]);
    }
}

By extracting the success - and if available, the failure - flows, you reduce the amount of code in your controllers, which in turn, achieves slim controllers. The definition of a controller is according to Symfony: "a PHP function you create that reads information from the Symfony's Request object and creates and returns a Response object".
