  • Forms with QUERY method read values from the request body.
  • Accept both a real QUERY request and the POST + _method fallback rendered by form_start.
  • Submit the form manually: Symfony < 7.4 doesn't know QUERY nor parse its body.
  • JS helper sends a real QUERY request, without following the redirect (it would repeat the request).
  • GET stays the default for BC.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Filter forms can submit values using QUERY, including through Symfony’s _method override. Existing GET submissions remain supported.
    • With JavaScript enabled, QUERY submissions display returned content or reload after a redirect. Failed requests fall back to native POST submission.
    • Filter values are saved for valid QUERY submissions, including requests sent as POST with a QUERY method override.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on configuring QUERY, supported fallbacks, and JavaScript submission behavior.

Walkthrough

Forms can now submit filter values using QUERY requests. The filter accepts QUERY requests and POST requests overridden to QUERY. JavaScript submits configured forms and handles the response. The README documents configuration and fallback behavior.

Changes: QUERY form support

Layer / File(s) Summary
QUERY request handling
src/Filter.php, tests/QueryStubFormType.php, tests/FilterTest.php
The filter accepts QUERY requests and POST requests overridden to QUERY. It reads and validates form data, stores valid values in the session, and returns false for unsupported methods or invalid submissions. Tests cover QUERY, overrides, rejected requests, missing data, and continued GET support.
Browser submission and usage
assets/js/filter.js, README.md
The JavaScript handler submits forms configured with _method=QUERY using fetch. It reloads the page after redirects and replaces the document with returned HTML. The README describes QUERY configuration, GET compatibility, and the POST fallback.

Clarify route setup before merging: a GET-only route blocks both QUERY submissions and their fallback. The JavaScript helper also stays on the current page after a redirect, so forms that need to navigate elsewhere must use the documented alternative.

Explanation

The title "✨ support QUERY method for filters" matches the main change. The PR adds QUERY method support for filter forms. The changes cover filter saving in src/Filter.php, a JavaScript submission helper in assets/js/filter.js, tests, and README updates. The title is short and specific. The leading emoji is noise, but it does not change the meaning. The title does not mention the POST fallback or the manual form submission, which are secondary details.

Read the submitter from the native event.

If a form uses a named submit button, event.submitter is not guaranteed on the jQuery event passed to this handler. FormData then omits the clicked button, so the server cannot distinguish button-specific actions. Use event.originalEvent?.submitter when constructing FormData. (api.jquery.com)

Do not replace the redirect destination with the current URL.

If the controller redirects a successful submission to another page, window.location.reload() stays on the page that displayed the form. Manual fetch redirects hide the destination, so this handler cannot reproduce that navigation from the response. Use a response contract that supplies a navigable destination, or retain native POST submission when destination-aware navigation is required. (fetch.spec.whatwg.org)

Handle rejected QUERY requests.

If fetch() rejects, the earlier preventDefault() has already canceled the POST fallback. The form stays unchanged and gives the user no failure message. Add a rejection handler that reports the failure and permits a retry. (developer.mozilla.org) Based on learnings, a fetch call that owns failure handling should handle rejected promises.

Use the POST fallback when QUERY receives an HTTP error.

If a server rejects QUERY with HTTP 405, fetch() still fulfills its promise. This handler then writes the error response into the page instead of trying the supported POST override. Check response.ok after the redirect check, and use the POST fallback for an error response. The Fetch standard distinguishes HTTP responses from network errors. (fetch.spec.whatwg.org)
