New in Symfony 5.3: Prototype Options
Contributed by

in #39913.
The OptionsResolver component helps you configure objects with option arrays
and is used by other components such as Form. In Symfony 5.3 we’ve improved
it with prototype options, to resolve and validate a series of options
repeatedly as part of another option.
Consider a connections option which accepts an array of database
connections, each of them defining the same options (host, database,
user and password). In Symfony 5.3, the best way to implement this is
to use the new setPrototype() method to define the connection options as a
prototype that can be repeated:
1
2
3
4
5
6
2
3
4
5
6
$resolver->setDefault(‚connections‘, function (OptionsResolver $connResolver) {
$connResolver
->setPrototype(true)
->setRequired([‚host‘, ‚database‘])
->setDefaults([‚user‘ => ‚root‘, ‚password‘ => null]);
});
$connResolver
->setPrototype(true)
->setRequired([‚host‘, ‚database‘])
->setDefaults([‚user‘ => ‚root‘, ‚password‘ => null]);
});
Thanks to this configuration, you can now pass options like these:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

$resolver->resolve([
‚connections‘ => [
‚default‘ => [
‚host‘ => ‚127.0.0.1‘,
‚database‘ => ’symfony‘,
],
‚test‘ => [
‚host‘ => ‚127.0.0.1‘,
‚database‘ => ’symfony_test‘,
‚user‘ => ‚test‘,
‚password‘ => ‚test‘,
],
// …
],
]);
