Why do the values ​​in $this->getUser() change after $form->handleRequest($request)??

Question

symfony

There was a question, if you create a form for editing a user and edit yourself in this form, then after

$form->handleRequest($request);
dd($this->getUser());

in the dump, I see that getUser() has already changed, can this be avoided somehow? This is important to me, because I'm still waiting for the old data in the user object.

Answer 1

Because submit is being executed
1. Submit manually:
Calling Form::submit() manually
2. or use the PRE_SUBMIT event

The FormEvents::PRE_SUBMIT event is dispatched at the beginning of the Form::submit() method.
It can be used to:
- Change data from the request, before submitting the data to the form;
- Add or remove form fields, before submitting the data to the form.
