EasyAdmin Upgrade Guide

This document describes the backwards incompatible changes introduced by each EasyAdminBundle version and the needed changes to be made before upgrading to the next version.

Upgrade to 2.0.0 (XX/XXX/2016)

  • The route used to generate every backend URL is now called easyadmin instead of admin. This change has been introduce to prevent collisions with your existing backend routes, where is common to use the admin route name.

    In order to upgrade, you just need to replace admin by easyadmin in all path(), generateUrl() and redirectToRoute() calls.

Upgrade to 1.9.5 (XX/XXX/2015)

  • The isReadable and isWritable options are no longer available for each property metadata. These options were needed when we introspected the getters and setters of the properties ourselves. We now use the Symfony PropertyAccessor component to get and set values for entity properties.

  • The Configurator::introspectGettersAndSetters() method, the Reflection/ClassPropertyReflector class and the easyadmin.property_reflector service have been deleted and replaced by the use of the PropertyAccessor class, its getValue() and setValue() methods and the @property_accessor service.

Upgrade to 1.9.2 (24/November/2015)

  • The render404error() utility method has been removed from AdminController. This method was no longer used since we started throwing custom exceptions when an error occurs.

  • The ajaxEdit() method of the AdminController has been removed. This method had nothing to do with editing an entity via Ajax. It was just used to toggle the value of boolean properties. It has been replaced by a private method called updateEntityProperty().

Upgrade to 1.8.0 (8/November/2015)

  • The options that define if a entity property is readable and/or writable have changed their name to match the names used by Symfony:

    // Before
$propertyMetadata['canBeGet'];
$propertyMetadata['canBeSet'];

// After
$propertyMetadata['isReadable'];
$propertyMetadata['isWritable'];

    This only affects you if you make a very advance use of the bundle and override lots of its functionalities.

  • The form.html.twig template has been removed and therefore, you cannot define the easy_admin.design.templates.form to override it by your own template. If you want to customize the forms of the backend, use a proper Symfony form theme and enable it in the easy_admin.design.form_theme option.

Upgrade to 1.5.5 (22/June/2015)

In order to improve the consistency of the backend design, all CSS class names have been updated to use dashes instead of underscores, to match the syntax used by Bootstrap classes. This means that field_date is now field-date, theme_boostrap... is now theme-bootstrap..., etc.

Moreover, the global css class applied to the <body> element of each view has changed:

View OLD <body> CSS class NEW <body> CSS class
edit admin edit <entity name> easyadmin edit edit-<entity name>
list admin list <entity name> easyadmin list list-<entity name>
new admin new <entity name> easyadmin new new-<entity name>
show admin show <entity name> easyadmin show show-<entity name>

All these changes only affect you if your backend uses a custom stylesheet.

Upgrade to 1.5.3 (26/May/2015)

The class option has been renamed to css_class.

Before:

easy_admin:
    actions:
        # ...
            - { name: 'edit', class: 'danger' }
    entities:
        # ...
        fields:
            - { property: 'id', class: 'col-md-12' }

After:

easy_admin:
    actions:
        # ...
            - { name: 'edit', css_class: 'danger' }
    entities:
        # ...
        fields:
            - { property: 'id', css_class: 'col-md-12' }

Upgrade to 1.5.0 (17/May/2015)

Some methods used to tweak AdminController behaviour have changed

// Before
protected function prepareNewEntityForPersist($entity) { ... }

// After
protected function prePersistEntity($entity) { ... }

// You can also create custom methods for each entity
protected function prePersistUserEntity($entity) { ... }
protected function prePersistProductEntity($entity) { ... }
// ...
// Before
protected function prepareEditEntityForPersist($entity) { ... }

// After
protected function preUpdateEntity($entity) { ... }

// You can also create custom methods for each entity
protected function preUpdateUserEntity($entity) { ... }
protected function preUpdateProductEntity($entity) { ... }
// ...

New strategy to determine the entity name

The strategy used to determine the entity name has change in preparation for some planned features.

Previously, the entity name was infered from the entity class name. Now the entity name is the value used as the YAML key of the configuration file:

# Before (label = name = TestEntity)
easy_admin:
    entities:
        MyEntity: 'AppBundle\Entity\TestEntity'

# After (label = name = MyEntity)
easy_admin:
    entities:
        MyEntity: 'AppBundle\Entity\TestEntity'

This change probably doesn't affect your backend, because so far the entity name is mostly an internal thing used as part as the URL of the backend pages. In the next version of the bundle this value will be used as some PHP method name. Therefore, developer must have absolute control over the entity name and EasyAdmin should not autogenerate it.

Entity names no longer can include unsafe characters

Previously, the YAML key of the configuration file was used to set the entity label for the entities which didn't define the label option. This label is used in some buttons, the main menu and the page title. Therefore, you could use any character for the entity name, including white spaces.

Now entity names can only contain numbers, characters and underscores, and the first character cannot be a number. This allows to use the entity name as part of the name of some PHP methods. In order to use a fancy entity label, just define the label option:

# BEFORE
# this will throw an exception in the new bundle version
easy_admin:
    entities:
        'My Fancy Entity!': 'AppBundle\Entity\TestEntity'

# AFTER
easy_admin:
    entities:
        MyEntity:
            class: 'AppBundle\Entity\TestEntity'
            label: 'My Fancy Entity!'

Changed variables names in twig views

The former _entity variable was used to retrieve the current entity configuration. This variable has been renamed to _entity_config for convenience and readability reasons.

The old item variable was used to carry the currently created/edited entity. This variable has been renamed to entity for better understandability.

Be sure that you did not override these variables, if so, you just have to change the name.

Upgrade to 1.4.0 (1/May/2015)

These changes affect you only if you have customized any of the following templates in your backend:

  1. form/entity_form.html.twig template has been renamed to form.html.twig
  2. _list_paginator.html.twig template has been renamed to _paginator.html.twig
  3. _flashes.html.twig template has been removed because it wasn't used in any other template
