Symfony form: filter collection with a parameter

I am using Symfony 3.4.



I have a form to edit some answers for a given country and I would need to edit these answers on a per category basis.



I have setup a filter in my entity but I don't know how to call this getter with a parameter from my form.



The dirty alternative would be to remove non required elements from my form in my controller but this is not ideal...



Here is my form:



<?php

namespace cwtpsmdbBundleForm;

use cwtpsmdbBundleEntityCcdbServicesAnswers;
use cwtpsmdbBundleEntitycountries;

use DoctrineORMEntityRepository;
use SymfonyBridgeDoctrineFormTypeEntityType;
use SymfonyComponentFormAbstractType;
use SymfonyComponentFormFormBuilderInterface;
use SymfonyComponentOptionsResolverOptionsResolver;
use SymfonyComponentFormExtensionCoreTypeCollectionType;

class countriesCCDBServicesAnswersType extends AbstractType
{

/**
* @param FormBuilderInterface $builder
* @param array $options
*/
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('AnswersOfCategory', CollectionType::class, array(
'entry_type' => CcdbServicesAnswersType::class,
'entry_options' => array('label' => false,),
'label' => false,
));
}

/**
* @param OptionsResolver $resolver
*/
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => 'cwtpsmdbBundleEntitycountries',
'categoryID' => 1,
));
}

/**
* @return string
*/
public function getBlockPrefix()
{
return 'cwt_psmdbbundle_countries';
}
}


Here is my entity:



<?php

namespace cwtpsmdbBundleEntity;

use APYDataGridBundleGridMapping as GRID;
use DoctrineORMMapping as ORM;

/**
* countries
*
* @ORMTable()
* @ORMEntity(repositoryClass="cwtpsmdbBundleEntityRepositorycountriesRepository")
*/
class countries
{
/**
* @var integer
*
* @ORMColumn(name="id", type="integer")
* @ORMId
* @ORMGeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
private $id;

/**
* @var string
*
* @ORMColumn(name="code", type="string", length=2)
*/
private $code;

/**
* @var string
*
* @ORMColumn(name="name", type="string", length=100)
*/
private $name;

/**
* @ORMOneToMany(targetEntity="cwtpsmdbBundleEntityCcdbServicesAnswers", mappedBy="country", cascade={"persist", "remove"})
*/
private $ccdbServicesAnswers;


// Specific Functions

/**
* Get ccdbServicesAnswers.
*
* @return DoctrineCommonCollectionsCollection
*/
public function getAnswersOfCategory($categoryID)
{

return $this->getCcdbServicesAnswers()->filter(function(CcdbServicesAnswers $answer) use($categoryID) {
return $answer->getQuestion()->getCategory()->getId() == $categoryID;
});
}


And here is my create form function in my controller:



private function createCountryEditForm(Countries $entity, $categoryID)
{
$form = $this->createForm(countriesCCDBServicesAnswersType::class, $entity, array(
'action' => $this->generateUrl('updateCountryCcdbServicesAnswers', array('countryID' => $entity->getId())),
'method' => 'PUT',
'categoryID' => $categoryID,
));

$form->add('submit', submitType::class, array('label' => 'Update', 'attr' => array('class' => 'hidden')));

return $form;
}


[UPDATE 20/11/2018]



Here is what I did so far. This work but I would prefer a cleaner solution which deals with this filter with a where clause at database level and which would be more DRY. Doing this at the conroller level means that I have to do it everywhere I need this filter.



private function createCountryEditForm(Countries $entity, $categoryID)
{
$form = $this->createForm(countriesCCDBServicesAnswersType::class, $entity, array(
'action' => $this->generateUrl('updateCountryCcdbServicesAnswers', array('countryID' => $entity->getId(), 'categoryID' => $categoryID)),
'method' => 'PUT',
'categoryID' => $categoryID,
));

$answers = $form->get('ccdbServicesAnswers')->getData();


foreach ($answers as $answer) {

if($answer->getQuestion()->getCategory()->getId() != $categoryID) {
$answers->removeElement($answer);
}

}

$form->get('ccdbServicesAnswers')->setData($answers);

$form->add('submit', submitType::class, array('label' => 'Update', 'attr' => array('class' => 'hidden')));

return $form;
}
