How to delete data from database inline using Symfony - html

Question

I'm new with Symfony and I'm trying to delete some data from the database using an html table, something that looks like this but I don't know where to start:
Any help is appreciated :)

Answer 1

There are basically 3 choices, whether using symphony or not:
A link to a page (look at Symfony "routes") including the information which entry to delete.
A nice trick is to use the same page and add a query parameter.
This would look something like this in twig:
{% for row in table %}
delete
{% endfor %}
And in symfony:
if($request->get->has('delete'))
{
//delete it from the database
}
//the code that displays your table
This is the easiest way but has a few disadvantages. It is slow as the whole page has to be loaded again. The browsers back-button might not behave as the user might expect.
A html form doing basically the same as 1. but with post
{% for row in table %}
<form action="" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="delete" value="{{row.id}}">
<input type="submit" value="delete">
</form>
{% endfor %}
And in symfony use $request->request
Ajax triggered by an onclick event
A javascript deleterow function would send the id via ajax to a special symphony route that returns an JSONResponse and when successful delete the DOM Element with the row.
This is much more complicated and would need a lot more research on your part, but it is the modern way.
