How to populate edit form from database

I have a form, to edit values in a database, based on an ID in the url.
How do I get the data related to the URL ID?
If I do this:
<?php
protected function createComponentEditRecipeForm( $id )
?>Then $id contains “editRecipeForm”
How do I pass the $id to the form?

You can use action in presenter.
/** @var $id */
private $id;
...
public function actionEdit($id)
{
$this->id = $id;

Hi Kevin,
I suggest to separe form creation and population. In simple forms this allows for reuse for creation and editing. You can do that like this:
<?php
class RecipePresenter {
public function actionCreate() {
$recipeForm = $this['recipeForm'];
$recipeForm->onSuccess[] = function($form, $data) use ($id) {
recipe_creation_magic($id, $data);
};
}
public function actionEdit(int $id) {
$recipe = recipe_obtaining_magic($id);
$recipeForm = $this['recipeForm'];
$recipeForm->setDefaults([
'name' => $recipe->name,
'duration' => $recipe->duration,
]);
$recipeForm->onSuccess[] = function($form, $data) use ($id) {
recipe_updating_magic($id, $data);
};
}
protected fucntion createComponentRecipeForm() {
$form = new \Nette\Application\Form();
$form->addText('name', 'Recipe name');
$form->addSelect('duration', 'Duration', [
'quickie' => 'Quick recipe (10 to 30 mins)',
'moderate' => 'Moderate recipe (30 mins to 2 hours)',
'long' => 'Long recipe (2 hours or longer)',
]);
return $form;
}
}
