README

Leapt SlugType bundle makes a form field dynamically generate the slug based on the content of another text field.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.2
• Symfony ^6.4, ^7.0 or ^8.0
• Webpack Encore & Stimulus bridge already present in your project

Installation

composer require leapt/slug-type-bundle

# Don't forget to install the JavaScript dependencies as well and compile
npm install --force
npm run watch

# or use yarn
yarn install --force
yarn watch

Then, in your Twig configuration, add the form theme you want to apply:

# config/packages/twig.yaml
twig:
    form_themes:
        - '@LeaptSlugType/bootstrap5_layout.html.twig'

There are currently 3 form themes available:

• @LeaptSlugType/basic_layout.html.twig
• @LeaptSlugType/bootstrap4_layout.html.twig
• @LeaptSlugType/bootstrap5_layout.html.twig

Usage

In your form type, use the SlugType on the field that will handle the slug, and give it a target option that will be used to generate the slug:

<?php

namespace App\Form\Type;

use Leapt\SlugTypeBundle\Form\SlugType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;

final class CenterType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options): void
    {
        $builder
            ->add('name', TextType::class)
            ->add('slug', SlugType::class, [
                'target' => 'name',
            ])
        ;
    }
}

By default, for Bootstrap 4 & 5 themes, a btn-secondary class is applied to the lock button. You can change it by using the button_class option for any form theme:

$builder->add('slug', SlugType::class, [
    'target' => 'name',
    'button_class' => 'btn-warning',
]);

You can also customize the locked & unlocked icons. By default, it uses emojis, but if you use e.g. FontAwesome you can override it:

$builder->add('slug', SlugType::class, [
    'target' => 'name',
    'locked_icon' => '<i class="fas fa-fw fa-lock"></i>',
    'unlocked_icon' => '<i class="fas fa-fw fa-lock-open"></i>',
]);

Customizing the design

The bundle provides a default stylesheet in order to add a gray background to the readonly input. You can disable it to add your own design if you wish.

In assets/controllers.json, disable the default stylesheet by switching the @leapt/slug-type-bundle/dist/style.css autoimport to false:

{
    "controllers": {
        "@leapt/slug-type-bundle": {
            "slug": {
                "enabled": true,
                "fetch": "eager",
                "autoimport": {
                    "@leapt/slug-type-bundle/dist/style.css": false
                }
            }
        }
    },
    "entrypoints": []
}

Note: you should put the value to false and not remove the line so that Symfony Flex won't try to add the line again in the future.

Once done, the default stylesheet won’t be used anymore, and you can implement your own CSS on top of the input.
