💡 Tips

To configure a date, datetime or dateinterval field to use HTML5's standard date picker widget, set the options as this example:

date_of_birth:
    type: date
    options:
        widget: single_text

To configure a choice field to show checkboxes, set the options as this example:

favourite_food:
    type: choice
    options:
        choices:
            "bananas": "Bananas"
            "chocolate": "Chocolate"
            "oranges": "Oranges"
        expanded: true
        multiple: true

A single checkbox can be added like this:

newsletter:
    type: checkbox
    options:
        label: "Yes, I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter"
        required: false

Note that when using form_div_layout.html.twig as layout in bolt-boltforms.yaml, checkboxes and radio-buttons do not show labels by default. If you want to use this layout, it's advised to copy it to your theme folder, change its name, modify it, and configure it like this:

layout:
    form: 'my_form_layout.html.twig'
    bootstrap: false

More options regarding the choice field are available on the official Symfony Forms documentation page.

Using Content as Choices¶

With type: contenttype, you can use content as choices. This makes additional params option is available. These are the same options as what you'd use for regular setcontent queries.

favourite_food:
    type: contenttype
    options:
        expanded: true
        multiple: true
        params:
            contenttype: pages
            label: title
            value: slug
            limit: 10
            sort: title
            criteria:
                status: 'draft || published' # by default only published items are queried

Options for choice are available here; choices will be overwritten by the queried values. The following options are available for params:

• contenttype: the contenttype to query.
• label: the name of the field to use as labels.
• value: the name of the field to use as values.
• limit: the number of records to return.
• sort: the field value to sort on; prefix with - for descending order.
• criteria: the where clause.
