Creating Repeative Fields inside my Form Symfony2

Question

I am working on a college project where I want to take the attendance of all the students. I have created a model with 3 fields i,e date, present (boolean) and student_id. Now when I try to generate a form out of it, it will display me only these 3 fields. However I want all the students of the class. So I created a loop for students and created an array of attendance objects. Now I am stuck, I don't know how I can pass them to my TWIG file, and I am also confused if it ist the right way to do this. Here is my Model and Controller code FORM ``` namespace College\StudentBundle\Form; use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType; use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilder; class StudentAttendanceType extends AbstractType { public function buildForm(FormBuilder $builder, array $options) { $builder ->add('date') ->add('present') ; } public function getName() { return 'college_studentbundle_studentattendancetype'; } } ``` CONTROLLER ``` public function takeAttendanceAction($Department_Id) { $student…

Accepted Answer

Not tested. But there should be a little modification. The loop in the controller:

```
foreach($students as $key => $student){

$attendance[$key] = new StudentAttendance();
    $form[$key] = $this->createForm(new StudentAttendanceType(), $attendance[$key])->createView();
}
```

return the array:

```
return $this->render('CollegeStudentBundle:StudentAttendance:take-attendance.html.twig', array(
    'form' => $form, 'department' => $Department_Id, 'students' => $students,
));
```

In the template:

```
{% for sform in form %}
    {{ form_widget(sform) }}
{% endfor %}
```
