[FLOW3-general] Creating objects with collections

[Pankaj Lele]

Hello

I was looking for a best approach to create a new object along with its
property having a collection.

E.g. Post has property tags of type
\Doctrine\Common\Collection\ArrayCollection<\My\Package\Domain\Model\Tag>

When creating a post with a Fluid form what to do about posting multiple
tags?

<f:form.textfield property="tags.0.name" />
<f:form.textfield property="tags.1.name" />

This does not work even if the object creation for properties is activated.

For now to get this working we have to do in Fluid:

<f:form.textfield name="tags[0]name" />
<f:form.textfield name="tags[1]name" />

And in the PostController->initializeCreateAction() get the tags raw
argument and convert them to objects using propertyMapper and pass on
array of objects to createAction($post, $tags).

Is this good approach or is there any other way which me might not be
knowing?

Thanks in advance!
