the adutomatic crud operation created by symfony as well as the symfony demo application has the following code structure for the delete action
public function deleteAction(Request $request, testing $testing)
{
$form = $this->createDeleteForm($testing);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->remove($testing);
$em->flush();
}
return $this->redirectToRoute('testing_index');
}
private function createDeleteForm(testing $testing)
{
return $this->createFormBuilder()
->setAction($this->generateUrl('testing_delete', array('id' => $testing->getId())))
->setMethod('DELETE')
->getForm()
;
}
My question is: why do we need a form to delete? maybe we have a link in the branch with the parameter id, so we can’t do the following: why should we check if the object exists isValid()inside the form before it is deleted?
public function deleteAction(testing $testing) {
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->remove($testing);
$em->flush();
return $this->redirectToRoute('testing_showall');
}
