EasyAdmin Extension

EasyAdmin Extension provides some useful extensions to EasyAdmin admin generator for Symfony.

❗ This bundle requires at least PHP 7.0 and Symfony 3.0 components or stack.

Installation

Step 1: Download the Bundle

$ composer require alterphp/easyadmin-extension-bundle

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the Composer documentation.

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...
            new AlterPHP\EasyAdminExtensionBundle\EasyAdminExtensionBundle(),
        );
    }

    // ...
}

Step 3: Replace EasyAdmin controller

Instead of loading routes from EasyAdminBundle AdminController, load them from EasyAdminExtensionBundle AdminController.

Symfony 4 directory structure :

# config/routes/easy_admin.yaml
easy_admin:
    resource: '@EasyAdminExtensionBundle/Controller/AdminController.php'
    prefix: /admin
    type: annotation

# ...

Former Symfony 2/3 directory structure :

# app/config/routing.yml
easy_admin:
    resource: "@EasyAdminExtensionBundle/Controller/AdminController.php"
    prefix:   /admin
    type:     annotation

# ...

If you have defined your own admin controllers, make them extend EasyAdminExtensionBundle admin controller.

Features

Filter list and search on request parameters

• EasyAdmin allows filtering list with dql_filter configuration entry. But this is not dynamic and must be configured as an apart list in easy_admin configuration.*

This extension allows to dynamically filter lists by adding filters parameter in the URL parameters. Having a list of books at URL <url-to-admin>?action=list&entity=Book with a releaseYear field, you can filter on books releasd in 2016 by requesting <url-to-admin>?action=list&entity=Book&filters[entity.releaseDate]=2016. It only matches exact values, but you can chain them. To request books released in 2015 and 2016, you must request <url-to-admin>?action=list&entity=Book&filters[entity.releaseDate][]=2015&filters[entity.releaseDate][]=2016.

This filters parameter is transmitted to the referer used for post update/delete/create redirection AND for search !

Register your own form types with a short name (aliasing form types)

You have custom form types that you want to use in the EasyAdmin configuration. You can already register them with FQCN ... but it's quite boring and makes the admin massively enlarged. This feature allows you to define your own form types with short names, by configuration.

Let's see how to register them with those 2 examples (enum and statusable) :

easy_admin_extension:
    custom_form_types:
        enum: Admin\Form\Type\EnumType
        statusable: Admin\Form\Type\StatusableType

Embed lists as form widgets

Embed your EasyAdmin lists in edit views. This is really useful for *ToMany relations.

Use pre-configured type embedded_list in the form definition :

easy_admin:
    entities:
        Event:
            class: Tm\EventBundle\Entity\Event
        Promoter:
            class: AppBundle\Entity\Promoter
            form:
                fields:
                    # ...
                    - { type: group, label: Events, css_class: 'col-sm-12', icon: calendar }
                    - { property: events, label: '', type: embedded_list, type_options: { entity: Event, filters: { 'entity.promoter': 'form:parent.data.id' } } }

But in many cases, the EmbeddedListHelper guesses type_options for you, and you just have to write :

easy_admin:
    entities:
        Event:
            class: Tm\EventBundle\Entity\Event
        Promoter:
            class: AppBundle\Entity\Promoter
            form:
                fields:
                    # ...
                    - { type: group, label: Events, css_class: 'col-sm-12', icon: calendar }
                    - { property: events, label: '', type: embedded_list }

Let's see the result !

Define access permissions

Global minimum role access

You can define a minimum role to access the EasyAdmin controller (any action handled by the controller) :

easy_admin_extension:
    minimum_role: ROLE_ADMIN

This is just a global restriction, that should live with a security firewall as described in Symfony documentation.

Per entity action role permissions

You can also define role permissions per entity action :

easy_admin:
    entities:
        Product:
            class: App\Entity\Product
            list:
                role: ROLE_ADMIN_PRODUCT_LIST
            search:
                role: ROLE_ADMIN_PRODUCT_SEARCH
            new:
                role: ROLE_ADMIN_PRODUCT_NEW
            edit:
                role: ROLE_ADMIN_PRODUCT_EDIT
            show:
                role: ROLE_ADMIN_PRODUCT_SHOW
            delete:
                role: ROLE_ADMIN_PRODUCT_DELETE

Above configuration define a required role per action for Product entity. This is too verbose, isn't it ? Let's sum up as following :

easy_admin:
    entities:
        Product:
            class: App\Entity\Product
            role_prefix: ROLE_ADMIN_PRODUCT

Entity role_prefix defines all actions required roles by appending the action name to the prefix.

Use template show vertical boostrap

Design EasyAdmin configuration:

easy_admin:
    design:
        templates:
            show: '@EasyAdminExtension/default/show_vertical.html.twig'

Run tests

Run following command :

$ ./vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit

OR using Docker and Docker Compose :

$ docker-compose run --rm phpunit

Run code quality tools
