Symfony2：使用Ajax和表单创建相关实体，而不加载所有实体

我们有一个Symfony2应用程序，它允许管理员使用Ajax POST请求将付款记入用户帐户。POST请求发送由Symfony控制器处理的JSON。控制器应创建一个支付实体，对其进行验证并将其持久化。我们希望利用Symfony表单系统的内置验证

例如，id为20的用户获得100p的积分，发布的JSON应该如下所示

{"user":"20","amount":"100","description":"test payment","paymentType":"credit"}

在Symfony端，我们有一个PaymentType表单

class PaymentType extends AbstractType

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
    $builder->add('user', 'entity', [
        'class' => 'OurAppBundle\Entity\User',
        'choice_label' => 'email',
        'multiple'     => false,
        'expanded'     => true,
    ]);
    $builder->add('paymentType', 'choice', [
        'choices' => [ 1 => 'credit', 2 => 'debit'],
        'choices_as_values' => true,

    ]);
    $builder->add('amount', 'number');
    $builder->add('description', 'textarea');
}

支付实体与用户实体相关并包含验证

class Payment
{
const TYPE_CREDIT = 'credit';
const TYPE_DEBIT = 'debit';

use TimestampableTrait;

/**
 * The ID of the payment
 *
 * @var integer
 *
 * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
 * @ORM\Id
 * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
 */
protected $id;


/**
 * the User object
 *
 * @var User
 *
 * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="User", inversedBy="payments")
 * @ORM\JoinColumn(name="user_id", referencedColumnName="id", onDelete="CASCADE", nullable=false)
 */
protected $user;

/**
 * payment type
 *
 * either 'credit' - a credit to the user's account
 * or 'debit' - money taken out their account
 *
 * @var string
 *
 * @ORM\Column(name="payment_type", type="string", length=7, nullable=false)
 *
 * @Assert\Choice(choices= {"credit", "debit"}, message="Choose a valid payment type")
 */
protected $paymentType;

/**
 * amount
 *
 * amount of payment, in pence
 *
 * @var int
 *
 * @ORM\Column(name="amount", type="integer", nullable=false)
 *
 * @Assert\Range(
 *      min = 1,
 *      max = 2000,
 *      minMessage = "Payments must be positive",
 *      maxMessage = "You cannot credit/debit more than £20"
 * )
 */
protected $amount;

/**
 * a string describing the transaction
 *
 * @var string
 *
 * @ORM\Column(name="description", type="string", length=255, nullable=false)
 *
 * @Assert\NotBlank(message="Please enter a description")
 */
protected $description;
....

我们在一个控制器中有如下代码：

public function creditUserAction(Request $request)
{
      $body = $request->getContent();
      $formData = json_decode($body, true);

      $payment = new Payment();
      $form = $this->createForm(new PaymentType(), $payment);
      $form->submit($data);
      if ($form->isValid()) {
          // persist and flush .....

      } ....

问题是，当createForm加载PaymentType表单时，Doctrine试图从数据库加载所有用户，并且有成千上万的用户

因此，我的问题是-有没有更好的方法来创建一个实体，使用Ajax POST请求，该实体与另一个使用Symfony表单的实体相关，其中相关实体有数千个实例？

您可以在不创建表单的情况下验证您的实体

$validator = $this->get('validator');
$errors = $validator->validate($payment);
if(count($errors)) {
    //...
}

同意。我希望使用Symfony表单也可以避免手动设置实体的每个属性——但是，手动设置每个属性并不是一项繁重的任务。谢谢你的帮助，我会用你建议的方法。
