Added ability to regress the progress bar¶

Contributed by
James Halsall
in #19824.

This is useful for example when the workload of some task cannot be determined beforehand In those cases, you can regress the progress bar by passing a negative step to the advance() method:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10

useSymfony\Component\Console\Helper\ProgressBar;$progress=newProgressBar($output,100);$progress->start();// ... do some work$progress->advance(30);// new tasks are created, regress the bar by 10 steps$progress->advance(-10);

Automatically detect the service definition class¶

Contributed by
Guilhem N
in #19191.

In PHP 7.x, methods can define the types of their return values. For example:

1
2
3
4

publicfunctionmyFactory():MyServiceClass{// ...}

In Symfony 3.2, we've added a new FactoryReturnTypePass compiler pass that automatically updates the service definitions of the factories that define their return types.

Added support for PhpStorm links¶

Contributed by
Martin Hasoň
in #20019.

The Symfony framework.ide configuration option allows you to turn any file path displayed in Symfony error pages into clickable links that open that exact file and line number in your favorite editor or IDE. We already supported lots of editors (SublimeText, Vim, etc.) and, starting from Symfony 3.2, we also support PhpStorm.

Added support for prioritizing form type extensions¶

Contributed by
David Maicher
in #19790.

Form extensions are the best way to add custom features on top of existing Symfony Form types. These extensions are enabled as services with the specialform.type_extension tag. In Symfony 3.2, this tag defines a new optional attribute called priority to better control the order in which the form type extensions are loaded:

1
2
3
4
5
6

services:app.form.image_type_extension:class:AppBundle\Form\Extension\ImageTypeExtensiontags:-{name:form.type_extension,priority:-128,extended_type:Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\FileType}

Added a named constructor to JsonResponse¶

Contributed by
Timothée Barray
in #19552.

If you create a JsonResponse with a content that is already encoded as a JSON string, you must pass true as the fourth optional argument ofJsonResponse:

1
2

// $contents = '{"foo":"bar"}';returnnewJsonResponse($contents,Response::HTTP_OK,[],true);

In Symfony 3.2, you can use the new fromJsonString() named constructor:

1
2

// $contents = '{"foo":"bar"}';returnJsonResponse::fromJsonString($contents);

Added a short syntax for service configurators¶

Contributed by
Oleg Voronkovich in #19190.

Service configurators allow you to use a callable to configure a service after its instantiation. In Symfony 3.2, you can use a short syntax to define them in YAML config files:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

services:app.some_service:class:...# Traditional syntaxconfigurator:['@app.configurator','configure']# New short syntax supported by Symfony 3.2configurator:'app.configurator:configure'

Allowed to specify a domain when updating translations¶

Contributed by
Anthony Grassiot in #19325.

The translation:update command now supports a --domain option to only update the messages related to that domain. This is very useful for complex applications that define lots of different translation domains:

1

$ ./bin/console translation:update en --force --domain=admin

Simplified the transChoice() function¶

Contributed by
Victor Bocharsky
in #19795.

The transChoice() PHP function has been simplified to match Twig'stranschoice filter. This means that you no longer have to provide the third optional argument with the value of the number parameter used to select the appropriate translation:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

// Before$this->get('translator')->transChoice('1 apple|%count% apples',7,['%count%'=>7]);// After$this->get('translator')->transChoice('1 apple|%count% apples',7);
