Example of Usage 

You can use filter form types as any other form type in Symfony. For example, consider you have a form with three filters. In your form type you should add code like this:

class MyFilterFormType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        // Add some form fields
        // ...
        // Add filters
        $builder->add('name', TextFilterType::class);
        $builder->add('salary', NumberFilterType::class);
        $builder->add('hobby', ChoiceFilterType::class, [
        field_options' => [
                'choices' => [1 => 'Coding', 2 => 'Hiking', 3 => 'Photography'],
                'multiple' => true
            ]
        ]);
    }
}
