CRUD Generator (make:crud)

The AropixelAdminBundle provides a custom command to quickly generate a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) interface based on an existing FormType.

In line with the bundle's philosophy, this command does not aim to provide a "one-size-fits-all" solution. Instead, it generates the boilerplate code (Controller and Templates) that you can then fully customize to fit your specific needs.

Usage

To generate a new CRUD, run the following command:

php bin/console aropixel:make:crud

The command will ask you for:

1. Entity Class: The full namespace of your entity (e.g., App\Entity\MyEntity).
2. FormType Class: The full namespace of your FormType (e.g., App\Form\MyEntityType).

Generated Files

The command generates three main files:

1. Controller

Created in src/Controller/Admin/. It includes:

• index: A route using the DataTableFactory to list your entities.
• new: A route to create a new entity using your FormType.
• edit: A route to edit an existing entity.
• delete: A route to delete an entity with CSRF protection.

2. List Template

Created in templates/admin/[entity]/index.html.twig. It extends [@AropixelAdmin](https://github.com/AropixelAdmin)/List/datatable.html.twig and is pre-configured to work with the Controller's DataTable.

3. Form Template

Created in templates/admin/[entity]/form.html.twig. It extends [@AropixelAdmin](https://github.com/AropixelAdmin)/Form/base.html.twig and provides a consistent look and feel for both "new" and "edit" actions.

Customization

DataTable Columns

By default, only the ID column is generated in the index action. You should manually add the columns you want to display in your Controller:

// src/Controller/Admin/MyEntityController.php

public function index(DataTableFactory $dataTableFactory, DataTableRowFactoryInterface $rowFactory): Response
{
    return $dataTableFactory
        ->create(MyEntity::class)
        ->setColumns([
            ['label' => 'ID', 'orderBy' => 'id'],
            ['label' => 'Title', 'orderBy' => 'title'],
            ['label' => 'Created At', 'orderBy' => 'createdAt'],
            ['label' => '', 'orderBy' => '', 'class' => 'no-sort'],
        ])
        ->render($rowFactory);
}

And update the template accordingly:

{# templates/admin/my_entity/index.html.twig #}

{% block datatable_body %}
    <td>{{ item.id }}</td>
    <td>{{ item.title }}</td>
    <td>{{ item.createdAt|date('d/m/Y') }}</td>
    <td class="text-right">
        {{ list.actions(item, path('admin_myentity_edit', {id: item.id}), path('admin_myentity_delete', {id: item.id})) }}
    </td>
{% endblock %}

Form Fields

The generated form template uses {{ form_rest(form) }}. You can customize the layout by overriding the formbody or mainPanel blocks as described in the Form Templates documentation.
