Tip: For an app where you need to display dates & times to users in different time zones, you can use a field configurator for datetime fields to set the "view_timezone" option. The "setTimezone()" method only affects the index/detail views, but for forms, in order for users to be able to input the times in their own timezone, you have to set the view_timezone form type option. Using a field configurator prevents you from having to set that on every single datetime field in the backend.

There are also Filter Configurators.

Hi!

When we create a class and make it implement FieldConfiguratorInterface, Symfony's autoconfigure feature adds a special tag to our service called ea.field_configurator. That's the key to getting your field into the configurator system.

How do you know that this tag = ea.field_configurator? And how to know the tag of our service?

|

Victor SFCASTS Ruslan-A 3 years ago

Hey Ruslan,

You can leverage bin/console debug:container Symfony command by passing a service name as an argument. E.g., if you run:

bin/console debug:container ArrayConfigurator

To see info about the ArrayConfigurator service - it will show you in the output that it ea.field_configurator tag.

Also, another useful command would be bin/console debug:container --tags that will print all tags and related to them services.

I hope this helps!

Cheers!

Can you tell me what is u() function in TruncateLongTextConfigurator.php ?
PHPOStorm show mi message: Undefined function 'u' :)

And Symfony show: Attempted to call function "u" from namespace "App\EasyAdmin".

|

MolloKhan SFCASTS Lechu85 3 years ago

Hey Lechu, I believe you forgot to add this use statement after installing the string component
use function Symfony\Component\String\u;

The string component helps handle Unicode strings and other encoding formats. You can learn more about it here: https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/string.html#what-is-a-string

Hi just wanted to point out, when running
<br />symfony console debug:container --tag=ea.field_configurator<br />

or simply

<br />symfony console debug:container<br />

I get the following error in my terminal :

In CheckDefinitionValidityPass.php line 59:

The definition for "tags" has no class. If you intend to inject this service dynamically at runtime, please mark it as synthetic=true. If this is an abstract definition solely used by child definitions, please add abstract=true, otherwise specify a class to get rid of this error.

Any idea where this is coming from? TIA.

Oups, my bad, wrong indentation in services.yaml was causing the issue !

Hey Estelle G.

Nice that you found how to solve issue ;)

Keep learning! Cheers!

FYI, I <i>believe</i> the AsTaggedItem attribute can be used for the TruncateLongTextConfigurator class to avoid adding it in your services.yaml: #[AsTaggedItem('ea.field_configurator', -1)].

|

MolloKhan SFCASTS kbond 4 years ago edited

Hey Kevin B.

Yes, you're right, thanks for bringing this up. I think that's just matter of taste of how you like to handle this config stuff. My advice here is to pick one style and be consistent throughout the source code.

Cheers!

kbond SFCASTS MolloKhan 4 years ago edited

Made a mistake above, the first argument of AsTaggedItem is the "index by" not the tag name. The tag name should already be autoconfigured so the correct usage of the attribute is (I believe): #[AsTaggedItem(priority: -1)].

|

MolloKhan SFCASTS kbond 4 years ago edited

Yeah, I got confused too. If you want to define the tag of a class using PHP attributes you need to use the AutoconfigureTag attribute

Cheers!
