how to update an object in symfony 3? - ajax

Question

I want to update profile infos, but after everything I have done nothing happened..
I work using ajax to send data from twig to updateAction ..
ajax :
$(document).ready(function ()
{
$("#btnEnregistrer").click(function () {
var URL = "{{path('profile_update')}}";
var n = $('#txtNom').val();
var nAr = $('#txtNomAr').val();
var pre = $('#txtPrenom').val();
var preAr = $('#txtPrenomAr').val();
var passOld = $('#txtPassOld').val();
var pass1 = $('#txtPassNew').val();
var pass2 = $('#txtPassNew2').val();
var dateN = $('#txtDateN').val();
var ad = $('#txtAdresse').val();
var adAr = $('#txtAdresseAr').val();
var mob = $('#txtMobile').val();
var fixe = $('#txtFixe').val();
var sexe ;
if($('#rbHomme').is(':checked'))
sexe="Homme";
else
if($('#rbFemme').is(':checked'))
sexe="Femme";
var DATA = 'nom='+n+'&nomAr='+nAr+'&prenom='+pre+'&prenomAr='+preAr+'&sexe='+sexe+'&passOld='+passOld+'&passNew='+pass1+'&passNew2='+pass2+'&dateN='+dateN+'&adresse='+ad+'&adresseAr='+adAr+'&mobile='+mob+'&fixe='+fixe;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: URL,
data: DATA,
cache: false
});
});
});
{{path('profile_update')}} is the route of updateAction :
public function updateAction(Request $request)
{
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
if ($request->isXmlHttpRequest()) {
$utilisateur = $this->get('session')->get('user');
$Vparam = $em->getRepository('ParametersBundle:Parameter')->findOneBy(['id' => $utilisateur->getVille()]);
$utilisateur->setNom($request->get('nom'));
$utilisateur->setNomAr($request->get('nomAr'));
$utilisateur->setPrenom($request->get('prenom'));
$utilisateur->setPrenomAr($request->get('prenomAr'));
$s = $request->get('sexe');
if($s == "Homme")
{
$utilisateur->setSexe("Homme");
$utilisateur->setSexeAr("ذكر");
}
else
{
$utilisateur->setSexe("Femme");
$utilisateur->setSexeAr("أنثى");
}
$utilisateur->setDateN($request->get('dateN'));
$utilisateur->setAdresse($request->get('adresse'));
$utilisateur->setAdresseAr($request->get('adresseAr'));
if($request->get('passOld') !="" && $request->get('passNew') !="" && $request->get('passNew2') !="")
{
if($request->get('passOld') == self::getHash($utilisateur->getPassword(), $utilisateur->getSalt()))
{
if($request->get('passNew') == $request->get('passNew2'))
{
$utilisateur->setPassword(self::getHash($request->get('passNew'), $utilisateur->getSalt()));
}
else
{
return $this->redirectToRoute('ens_profile');
}
}
else
{
return $this->redirectToRoute('ens_profile');
}
}
$em->flush();
return $this->redirectToRoute('ens_profile');
}
route.yml :
persons_connexion:
path: /connexion
defaults: { _controller: PersonsBundle:Default:connexion }
persons_deconnexion:
path: /deconnexion
defaults: { _controller: PersonsBundle:Default:deconnexion }
ens_profile:
path: /Enseignant/profile
defaults: { _controller: PersonsBundle:Enseignant:profile }
profile_update:
path: /Enseignant/profile/miseajour
defaults: { _controller: PersonsBundle:Enseignant:update }
the parameters show up in Symfony Profiler as POST Parameters ..
but when I look at the table in database, I found that nothing happened ..
So, what is the problem? and how can I solve it?

Answer 1

First, you're doing something really odd...
Instead of having javascript fetch your user data in the DOM, why don't you use a form and submit it directly?
You seems rather new to Symfony, so I will suggest the best method for you to learn how Symfony does things... Use the commands lines to generate entities, controllers, forms, and so on...
Here is a list of the most user commands to work with Symfony:
Create a bundle
php bin/console generate:bundle
Create an entity
php bin/console doctrine:generate:entity
Refresh all entities getters and setters within a bundle
php bin/console doctrine:generate:entities *NameBundle*
Refresh one entity getters and setters
php bin/console doctrine:generate:entities *NameBundle:Entity*
Check entities relations and and database squeleton
php bin/console d:s:v
Create entity form type
php bin/console doctrine:generate:for
Create entity controller, form type and view
php bin/console doctrine:generate:crud --with-write
Dump SQL changes into console.
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql
Use before updating skeleton to check if every is as you want it.
Apply SQL changes
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force
List all existing routes into the console.
php bin/console debug:router
Clear production cache
php bin/console cache:clear --no-warmup --env=prod
Clear developemnt cache
php bin/console cache:clear --no-warmup --env=dev'
Because it make things easier, I would suggest you to use annotation for routes instead of yml.
For your code, it's a real mess and not valid as is...
If you were using a form, this is how the basic edit action should looks like
public function editAction(Request $request, User $user) {
$editForm=$this->createForm(UserType::class, $user);
$editForm->handleRequest($request);
if($editForm->isSubmitted() && $editForm->isValid()) {
$this->getDoctrine()
->getManager()
->flush();
return $this->redirectToRoute('_edit', array('id'=>$user->getId()));
}
return $this->render('security/edit.html.twig', array(
'user'=>$user,
'edit_form'=>$editForm->createView(),
));
}
You code is missing the form part, and is really dangerous as is...
As a good example, you don't submit any form token, which will result in a fail when you try to update database.
I'm afraid that providing help on your code it quite impossible as you're not using symfony as you should.

You need to $em->persist($utilisateur) before the flush if it's not coming from your entity manager.
