Adminlte Symfony Laravel Package

Changed

• Pinned the CDN links in every layout, demo template and the EasyAdmin theme to admin-lte 4.8.1 (was 4.0.2), and the demo footer version with them. Core has shipped a lot since 4.0.2 and all of it is now available to this bundle without a markup change:

  • 4.4.0 — opt-in extended palette (dist/css/adminlte-colors.css, 14 colours plus the matching sidebar/navbar skins), restyled header search, sidebar height fix.
  • 4.5.0 — dist/css/adminlte-colors-v3.css, the 18 AdminLTE 3 colours exactly as they were, for ports of v3 apps.
  • 4.6.0 — data-lte-primary="teal" on <html> promotes any palette colour to Bootstrap's primary (buttons, links, pagination, form focus rings).
  • 4.7.0 — data-lte-print="plain" for pages meant to print as documents.
  • 4.8.0 — data-lte-contrast="aa" for WCAG AA text on the v3 palette.
  • 4.8.1 — pagination focus-ring fix.

  The two palette stylesheets are additive and opt-in: add the one you want next to adminlte.min.css in the stylesheets block. Nothing in the bundle's own markup changed, so existing overrides keep working.

• Updated all dependencies to their current releases. Within-major moves: EasyAdmin 5.1.0 → 5.5.1, Symfony 8.1.0 → 8.1.x (asset-mapper 8.1.2, browser-kit 8.1.1, config/dependency-injection/framework-bundle/http-kernel/phpunit-bridge 8.1.4, twig-bundle 8.1.2), Twig 3.27.1 → 3.28.0, php-cs-fixer 3.95.11 → 3.95.19 and PHPStan 2.2.2 → 2.2.8. config/reference.php is regenerated by Symfony on kernel boot and moves with the framework bump.

• PHPUnit 12 → 13 (^12.4 → ^13.3, dev-only). No configuration migration was needed (--migrate-configuration reports the file is already current) and no deprecated annotations or attributes were in use. Note PHPUnit 13 requires PHP >= 8.4.1, a shade above this package's own >=8.4 floor — contributors on exactly 8.4.0 need a patch update.

• Symfony UX 2 → 3 for symfony/stimulus-bundle and symfony/ux-twig-component, widened to ^2.30 || ^3.0 rather than moved, so apps on either major can still install the bundle. The suite passes identically on 2.36.0 and 3.4.0. UX 3.0 makes twig_component.defaults and twig_component.anonymous_template_directory mandatory, which is an application-level concern (Flex sets both); the bundle prepends no twig_component config and needs no change.

Fixed

• EasyAdmin theme: the layout override no longer recurses into itself. It extended [@EasyAdmin](https://github.com/EasyAdmin)/layout.html.twig, but once the file is copied to templates/bundles/EasyAdminBundle/layout.html.twig that namespace resolves back to the override — so every EasyAdmin page rendered the template in an infinite loop until PHP hit the memory limit. It now extends @!EasyAdmin/layout.html.twig; the ! is Symfony's marker for "the bundle's own template". The theme has never rendered before this fix.
• EasyAdmin theme: adminlte.min.js is now actually emitted. The override declared a body_javascripts block, but EasyAdmin's block is body_javascript (singular) — in 5.1 as well as 5.5. Twig silently drops a child block the parent never renders, so the script tag was never written and every AdminLTE JS behaviour was dead in the EasyAdmin theme.

Added

• Initial Symfony 8.1 bundle targeting AdminLTE 4 + Bootstrap 5.3.
• AssetMapper-first asset pipeline (no Webpack Encore required).
• Twig Components for the layout shell (DashboardLayout, Sidebar, SidebarNav, SidebarNavItem, Topbar, Footer, ColorModeToggle).
• Widget Twig Components: Card, SmallBox, InfoBox, Alert, Callout, Progress, ProgressGroup, Timeline + TimelineItem, ProfileCard, DescriptionBlock, Breadcrumb, Ratings, Toast, Modal, Accordion + AccordionItem, Tabs, NavNotifications, NavMessages, NavTasks, and a ⌘K CommandPalette indexed from the sidebar menu — parity with the Vue/React component inventory.
• Form Twig Components: Button, Input, Select, Textarea, InputSwitch, InputColor, InputFile.
• Config-driven sidebar menu with active-route detection and a permission security filter.
• SSR-safe color/dark-mode toggle (no flash of incorrect theme) persisted to localStorage.
• Optional AdminLTE theme for EasyAdmin (templates/bundles/EasyAdminBundle).
