…curious: dive in and check out the code behind the scenes. It's a great way to learn more about how EasyAdmin works on a deeper level. Methods like ->onlyOnIndex() give us a lot of control. But also notice that configureFields() is passed the $pageName…

…one CRUD controller... or you could put this in the dashboard to apply everywhere. But, apart from a custom form theme, there are a few other ways that EasyAdmin allows us to control what this page looks like... which, right now, is just a long…

…filter the records in this index section by some criteria, for example, to only show users that are enabled or not enabled. Fortunately, EasyAdmin has a system for this called, well, filters! Over in UserCrudController, I'll go to the bottom and override yet another…

…It would use the new, smaller _list_item_actions. Start by deleting everything and extending the base layout: @EasyAdmin/default/list.html.twig... so that we don't need to duplicate everything: Next, add block item_actions and endblock: Twig isn't really meant for…

…And that will probably mean overriding the templates used by the bundle. First, let's go look at those templates! Open vendor/javiereguiluz/easyadmin-bundle/Resources/views/default. Ah, ha! These are the many templates used to render every single part of our admin. We…

…then dive into the really tough stuff. Let's start with design. Right now, in the upper left corner, it says, "EasyAdmin"... which is probably not what I want. Like most stuff, this can be changed in the config. Add a site_name key set…

…how about, _field_user_full_name.html.twig: Copy that name. It expects this to live in the standard easy_admin directory. Create it there! Since this is a template for one field, it will have access to the User object as an item variable…

…for all list views, but then override that list tweak for one specific entity. Let's see this in action! In config.yml, under easy_admin, you can configure the list view by adding a list key. Set title: 'List': And yep! Each view can…

…method really means: Link to somewhere... but run that controller through the admin section. This can be useful if you have a custom controller but want to leverage some of the EasyAdmin tools from inside it. If you just want to link to a page…

… But go back to /admin. Uh oh: the Questions link does show up. EasyAdmin isn't smart enough to realize that if we clicked this, we wouldn't have access. It's our responsibility to make sure that the permissions on our link are set…

…problem. Though, at the very least, a user wouldn't be able to guess the URL, because EasyAdmin generates a signature. That's this signature=" part. What that does is prevent anyone from messing with a URL and trying to access something else. For example…

…you to make sure that a service is only instantiated for the action that needs it, instead of in all situations. Next: let's learn how to override templates, like EasyAdmin's layout template, or how an IdField is rendered across our entire admin area.

…users. How? Once again, we can call a custom method on AssociationField called ->setQueryBuilder(). Pass this a function() with a QueryBuilder $queryBuilder argument: When EasyAdmin generates the list of results, it creates the query builder for us, and then we can modify it. Say $queryBuilder…

…linkUrl }}"... and then method="POST". Inside, we need the button. We could create it ourselves... or we can be lazy and {{ include('@EasyAdmin/crud/action.html.twig') }}. That's all we need! Reload the page... and inspect that element to see... exactly what we want:…

…pass ADMIN_USER_EDIT. Notice this is not a role. EasyAdmin calls the security system for each entity that it's about to display and passes this ADMIN_USER_EDIT string into the security system. If we used a role here - like ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN…

…index.html.twig... and I'll paste in the contents. But there's nothing tricky here. I am extending @EasyAdmin/page/content.html.twig. If you ever need to render a custom page... but one that still looks like it lives inside the admin area…

… Right now, I'm using Field which tells EasyAdmin to guess the best field type. This is printing as a textarea... so its field type is really TextareaField... and we can use that if we want to. Here's the new goal: I want to…

…excellent! Let's do the $topic field! This is an interesting one because it's a relation to the Topic entity. How can we handle that in EasyAdmin? With the super powerful AssociationField. Yield AssociationField::new() and pass topic: That's it! Click "Questions" to…

…name. Action::EDIT is a just constant that resolves to the string "edit". But, behind the scenes, EasyAdmin creates an Action object to represent this. And that Action object knows everything about how that action should look, including its label, CSS classes, and other stuff…

…normal Symfony event subscriber and, thanks to auto configuration, Symfony will instantly see this and start using it. In other words, whenever EasyAdmin dispatches BeforeEntityUpdatedEvent, it will call our method. This $event object is packed with useful info. For example, if I just say $event…
