SonataAdminBundle

SonataAdminBundle - The missing Symfony2 Admin Generator

There is online documentation here:

• http://rabaix.net/AdminBundle/html/index.html

Quick example

Defining an Admin class is pretty easy: simply define fields as properties

class PostAdmin extends Admin
{
    protected $form = array(
        'author' => array('edit' => 'list'),
        'enabled' => array('form_field_options' => array('required' => false)),
        'title',
        'abstract',
        'content',
        'tags'     => array('form_field_options' => array('expanded' => true)),
        'commentsCloseAt',
        'commentsEnabled' => array('form_field_options' => array('required' => false)),
    );

    protected $list = array(
        'title' => array('identifier' => true),
        'author',
        'enabled',
        'commentsEnabled',
    );

    protected $filter = array(
        'title',
        'author',
        'enabled',
    );
}

Of course, power users will be happy as an Admin class is very flexible as all dependencies are injected by the DIC.
