Not for this PR, but we should make the title (and slug) mandatory so this return value can never be null, don't you think?

I thought the same at beginning, but they are already mandatory in DB & FormValidation. so when I tested the real app (/es/admin/post/new):
Type error: Return value of App\Entity\Post::getTitle() must be of the type string, null returned
The cause is on form initialization, it needs mapDataToForms() and read each defined form field from underlying object (default values), so PropertyAccessor->readProperty(array(object(Post)), 'title') calls to Post->getTitle() and boom! null value.
The solution could be set a fake or default title/slug for new Post (before form initialization), now that Slugger::slugify() is static, it can be easier. WDYT? then we would change it to strict string.

I'm not sure it's worth it. Now that you explained that, I remember that I faced this issue too a while ago. I needed to put ?string in an entity because of the Form behavior that you mentioned. So let's keep it. Thanks.

array typehint is missing. What if we rename the argument too from $array to $tags ?

Yep, but I can't do that, because declaration must be compatible with DataTransformerInterface->transform(value).

👍 Done.

It's nice to have PHP 7.1 type hints and return types everywhere. Thanks a lot for contributing this feature! |
