Parameter Binding

Parameter binding is used to fill datasource with parameters from datagrid. For example, ORM datasource works on top of Doctrine ORM and uses QueryBuilder to build a query to the database. Using the parameter binding option in the ORM datasource you can configure the mapping between the parameters of the datagrid and the query.

Configuration Syntax

datagrids:
    acme-demo-datagrid:
        source:
            type: orm
            query:
                select:
                    - u
                from:
                    { table: Acme\Bundle\DemoBundle\Entity\User, alias:u }
                where:
                    and:
                        - u.group = :group_id
            bind_parameters:
                # Get parameter "group_id" from datagrid
                # and set it's value to "group_id" parameter in datasource query
                - group_id

Suppose the name of the parameters in the grid does not match the query. In that case, you can pass an associative array of parameters, where the key is the name of the parameter in the query, and the value is the name of the parameter of the grid:

datagrids:
    acme-demo-grid:
        source:
            type: orm
            query:
                select:
                    - u
                from:
                    { table: Acme\Bundle\DemoBundle\Entity\User, alias:u }
                where:
                    and:
                        - u.group = :group_id
            bind_parameters:
                # Get parameter "groupId" from datagrid
                # and set it's value to "group_id" parameter in datasource query
                group_id: groupId

To pass parameter groupId to the grid, use the following format when rendering the grid in the template:

{{ dataGrid.renderGrid('acme-demo-datagrid', {'groupId': entityId}) }}

Or pass them directly to DatagridManager.

$datagridManager->getDatagrid('acme-demo-datagrid', ['groupId' => $entityId]);

The full format for declaring parameters binding is also available:

bind_parameters:
    data_in: # option string key will be interpreted as name of parameter in query
        path: _parameters.groupId # it will reference to parameter groupId in key _parameters of parameter bag.
        default: [0] # some default value, will be used if parameter is not passed
        type: array # type applicable with Doctrine: Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::getType()

bind_parameters:
    -
        name: # name of parameter in query
        path: _parameters.groupId # it will reference to parameter groupId in key _parameters of parameter bag.
        default: [0] # some default value, will be used if parameter is not passed
        type: array # type applicable with Doctrine: Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::getType()

Support of Parameter Binding by Datasource

Datasource must implement BindParametersInterface to support the bind_parameters option.

Parameter Binder Class

The parameter binder class depends on the datasource implementation.

Example of usage:

// get parameter "name" from datagrid parameter bag and add it to datasource
$queryParameterBinder->bindParameters($datagrid, ['name']);

// get parameter "id" from datagrid parameter bag and add it to datasource as parameter "client_id"
$queryParameterBinder->bindParameters($datagrid, ['client_id' => 'id']);

// get parameter "email" from datagrid parameter bag and add it to datasource, all other existing
// parameters will be cleared
$queryParameterBinder->bindParameters($datagrid, ['email'], false);

Parameter Binding Listener

DatasourceBindParametersListener is responsible for running the binding of the datasource parameters. It checks whether the datasource implements BindParametersInterface and whether it has the bind_parameters option.

If the grid configuration is applicable, then the parameters configuration specified in the bind_parameters is passed to the datasource method bindParameters.
