On March 5th, 2013, Timon Schroeter gave a talk about the Symfony 2 form and validation components at the PHP Usergroup Berlin.
The Symfony 2 form and validation components are very powerful. Starting from a doctrine entity, one can automatically generate:
- Database tables to store the entity
- Database constraints (like unique indices etc.)
- Forms to create and edit entities
- Validation rules for the PHP layer
- Validation rules for HTML5 in-browser validation
- CRUD Controllers
