I was playing around with Symfony, jQuery, jqGrid & AJAX. For each new post submission, I am doing the foll:

  1. adding a routing entry in routing.yml
  2. defining a new action in the Actions file for the module. THis reads params, assigns values & saves the object

As in the case of jqGrid, the 'Add Row' form is not a Symfony form. Is there a way to fool Symfony and post data to the executeCreate action to store a new entry.

If not, does Symfony provide a way to quickly generate web services for AJAX requests for each of the modules? Is this a sensible feature?

What I am going to have to do other-wise, is to

  • create routing
  • create a new Action
  • get all parameters
  • instantiate object
  • assign values & save

Any help in doing this faster will be appreciated. Thanks in advance
