Available config options

The configuration file config/form-submitter.php has the following options:

   'transaction_class' => DatabaseTransaction::class,
   

2. submitters - specify at least one form submitter that the stepped form will use to submit entity on FormFinished event. Must implement FormSubmitterInterface.

   'submitters' => [
       // list of form submitters
   ],
   

Usage

1. Publish configuration file.

2. Add form transaction implementation, if necessary.

   use Lexal\FormSubmitter\Transaction\TransactionInterface;
   
   final class DatabaseTransaction implements TransactionInterface
   {
        public function start(): void
        {
            // start transaction
        }
   
        public function commit(): void
        {
            // commit transaction
        }
   
        public function rollback(): void
        {
            // rollback transaction
        }
   }
   

3. Create custom form submitters.

   use Lexal\FormSubmitter\FormSubmitterInterface;
   
   final class CustomerFormSubmitter implements FormSubmitterInterface
   {
       public function supportsSubmitting(mixed $entity): bool
       {
           return $entity instanceof Customer;
       }
   
       public function submit(mixed $entity): mixed
       {
           // save entity to the database
   
           return $entity;
       }
   }
   

4. Update configuration file. Add form submitters and transaction class (if necessary).

   return [
       'transaction_class' => DatabaseTransaction::class,
       'submitters' => [
           CustomerFormSubmitter::class,
       ],
   ];
   

5. Form submitter will call your custom form submitter automatically if it supports submitting of stepped-form entity.
