Cookbook: Creating a Simple CRUD

Here's my attempt to follow the official OroPlatform guide Archive on creating a simple CRUD.

Create the InventoryBundle

Starting from a fresh instance of Oro Platform ver 3.1.3, follow the manual steps in Create A Bundle.

Create the Vehicle Entity

Create the file src\InventoryBundle\Entity\Vehicle.php

Copy
<?php

namespace InventoryBundle\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 * @ORM\Table(name="vehicle")
 */
class Vehicle
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=100)
     */
    private $model;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     */
    private $seats;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(name="bought_at", type="date")
     */
    private $boughtAt;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(name="leased_until", type="date")
     */
    private $leasedUntil;

    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    public function getModel()
    {
        return $this->model;
    }

    public function setModel($model)
    {
        $this->model = $model;
    }

    public function getSeats()
    {
        return $this->seats;
    }

    public function setSeats($seats)
    {
        $this->seats = $seats;
    }

    public function getBoughtAt()
    {
        return $this->boughtAt;
    }

    public function setBoughtAt($boughtAt)
    {
        $this->boughtAt = $boughtAt;
    }

    public function getLeasedUntil()
    {
        return $this->leasedUntil;
    }

    public function setLeasedUntil($leasedUntil)
    {
        $this->leasedUntil = $leasedUntil;
    }
}

Create the table in DB in bash shell:

Copy

kiat@win10 MINGW64 /d/Work/wamp64/www/oro/platform
$ php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql

 The following SQL statements will be executed:

     CREATE TABLE vehicle (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL, model VARCHAR(100) NO
T NULL, seats INT NOT NULL, bought_at DATE NOT NULL COMMENT '(DC2Type:date)', le
ased_until DATE NOT NULL COMMENT '(DC2Type:date)', PRIMARY KEY(id)) DEFAULT CHAR
ACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci ENGINE = InnoDB;

kiat@win10 MINGW64 /d/Work/wamp64/www/oro/platform
$ php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force

 Updating database schema...

     1 query was executed

 [OK] Database schema updated successfully!

Check that the table vehicle is created in pma.

Create a Basic Controller

Define the route in the file src\InventoryBundle\Resources\config\oro\routing.yml.

Copy
inventory_bundle:
    resource: "@InventoryBundle/Controller"
    type: annotation
    prefix: /inventory

The param prefix means that the resource in the URL is prefixed: http://oro2.nks/index_dev.php/inventory.

Create the controller in src\InventoryBundle\Controller\VehicleController.php

Copy
<?php
namespace InventoryBundle\Controller;

use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Template;
use Oro\Bundle\SecurityBundle\Annotation\Acl;

/**
 * @Route("/vehicle")
 */
class VehicleController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Route("/", name="inventory.vehicle_index")
     * @Acl(
     *     id="inventory.vehicle_view",
     *     type="entity",
     *     class="InventoryBundle:Vehicle",
     *     permission="VIEW"
     * )
     * @Template
     */
    public function indexAction()
    {
        return array('gridName' => 'vehicles-grid');
    }

}

Refresh the cache before browsing:

Copy
kiat@win10 MINGW64 /d/Work/wamp64/www/oro/platform
$ php bin/console cache:clear

 // Clearing the cache for the dev environment with debug
 // true

 [OK] Cache for the "dev" environment (debug=true) was successfully cleared.

To view the datagrid, use the URL http://oro2.nks/index_dev.php/inventory/vehicle/.

Exception:

Unable to find template "InventoryBundle:Vehicle:index.html.twig"

So far so good.

To see that the route is warmed up, click on the Symfony profiler:

index_dev.php > Symfony Profiler > Routing > search for inventory:

The Datagrid

Define the vehicle datagrid in src\InventoryBundle\Resources\config\oro\datagrids.yml

Copy
datagrids:
    vehicles-grid:
        source:
            acl_resource: inventory.vehicle_view
            type: orm

                icon:          trash
                acl_resource:  inventory.vehicle_delete

Create the View for the Datagrid

src\InventoryBundle\Resources\views\Vehicle\index.html.twig

Copy
{% extends 'OroUIBundle:actions:index.html.twig' %}
{% import 'OroUIBundle::macros.html.twig' as UI %}
{% set pageTitle = 'Vehicles'|trans %}

Refresh the cache and navigate to inventory/vehicle/:

Create a Form Type Service for Vehicle Entity

The guide Archive says:

To be able to create new vehicles and update existing ones, you first have to create a form type and register it as a service:

~~I think it means that a service is required to write to DB.~~ It means that we create a helper class or service for the form. So, let's do that.

Create the Service

Create the form service file src\InventoryBundle\Form\Type\VehicleType.php.

Copy
<?php

namespace InventoryBundle\Form\Type;

use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
//use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolverInterface; // Fatal error: Declaration of InventoryBundle\Form\Type\VehicleType::configureOptions(InventoryBundle\Form\Type\OptionsResolver $resolver) must be compatible with Symfony\Component\Form\FormTypeInterface::configureOptions(Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver $resolver)
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;

class VehicleType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder
            ->add('model')
            ->add('seats')
            ->add('boughtAt')
            ->add('leasedUntil')
        ;
    }

    public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
    {
        $resolver->setDefaults(array(
            'data_class' => 'InventoryBundle\Entity\Vehicle',
        ));
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return 'inventory_vehicle';
    }
}

Create the service configuration file in src\InventoryBundle\Resources\config\form.yml

Copy
services:
    inventory.form.type.vehicle:
        class: InventoryBundle\Form\Type\VehicleType
        tags:
            - { name: form.type, alias: inventory_vehicle }

Note that most often it is a good idea (especially when you have many services in your bundle) to define form related services in a separate configuration file. By convention form.yml is used but since it’s not autoloaded, we need to load it manually in the bundle extension class.

Load form.yml

The code in the guide is incomplete. Luckily, there are a few references I can use by searching for form.yml in vscode. Eg vendor\oro\platform\src\Oro\Bundle\CommentBundle\DependencyInjection\OroCommentExtension.php.

Create the service extension file src\InventoryBundle\DependencyInjection\InventoryExtension.php

Copy
<?php
namespace InventoryBundle\DependencyInjection;

use Symfony\Component\Config\FileLocator;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Loader;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\DependencyInjection\Extension;

class InventoryExtension extends Extension
{
    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public function load(array $configs, ContainerBuilder $container)
    {
        $configuration = new Configuration();
        $this->processConfiguration($configuration, $configs);

        $loader = new Loader\YamlFileLoader($container, new FileLocator(__DIR__.'/../Resources/config'));
        $loader->load('form.yml');
    }
}

I also needed to add src\InventoryBundle\DependencyInjection\Configuration.php to avoid undefined class.

Copy
<?php

namespace InventoryBundle\DependencyInjection;

use Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Builder\TreeBuilder;
use Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\ConfigurationInterface;

class Configuration implements ConfigurationInterface
{
    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public function getConfigTreeBuilder()
    {
        $treeBuilder = new TreeBuilder();
        $treeBuilder->root('inventory');

        return $treeBuilder;
    }
}

Refresh the cache and refresh browser to ensure that there is no error.

Render the Vehicle Form for Creating or Updating Entity

Create the form view in src\InventoryBundle\Resources\views\Vehicle\update.html.twig

Copy
{% extends 'OroUIBundle:actions:update.html.twig' %}
{% import 'OroUIBundle::macros.html.twig' as UI %}
{% form_theme form with 'OroFormBundle:Form:fields.html.twig' %}

{% if form.vars.value.id %}
    {% set formAction = path('inventory.vehicle_update', { 'id': form.vars.value.id }) %}
{% else %}
    {% set formAction = path('inventory.vehicle_create') %}
{% endif %}

{% block navButtons %}
    {% if form.vars.value.id and is_granted('DELETE', form.vars.value) %}
        {{ UI.deleteButton({
            'dataUrl': path('inventory_api_delete_vehicle', {'id': form.vars.value.id}),
            'dataRedirect': path('inventory.vehicle_index'),
            'aCss': 'no-hash remove-button',
            'id': 'btn-remove-tag',
            'dataId': form.vars.value.id,
            'entity_label': 'Vehicle'|trans
        }) }}
        {{ UI.buttonSeparator() }}
    {% endif %}
    {{ UI.cancelButton(path('inventory.vehicle_index')) }}
    {% set html = UI.saveAndCloseButton() %}
    {% if is_granted('inventory.vehicle_update') %}
        {% set html = html ~ UI.saveAndStayButton() %}
    {% endif %}
    {{ UI.dropdownSaveButton({ 'html': html }) }}
{% endblock navButtons %}

{% block pageHeader %}
    {% if form.vars.value.id %}
        {% set breadcrumbs = {
            'entity':      form.vars.value,
            'indexPath':   path('inventory.vehicle_index'),
            'indexLabel': 'Vehicles'|trans,
            'entityTitle': form.vars.value.model
        } %}
        {{ parent() }}
    {% else %}
        {% set title = 'oro.ui.create_entity'|trans({'%entityName%': 'Vehicle'|trans}) %}
        {% include 'OroUIBundle::page_title_block.html.twig' with { title: title } %}
    {% endif %}
{% endblock pageHeader %}

{% block content_data %}
    {% set id = 'vehicle-edit' %}

    {% set dataBlocks = [{
            'title': 'General'|trans,
            'class': 'active',
            'subblocks': [{
                'title': '',
                'data': [
                    form_row(form.model),
                    form_row(form.seats),
                    form_row(form.boughtAt),
                    form_row(form.leasedUntil),
                ]
            }]
        }]
    %}
    {% set data = {
        'formErrors': form_errors(form)? form_errors(form) : null,
        'dataBlocks': dataBlocks,
    } %}
    {{ parent() }}
{% endblock content_data %}

Add controller actions in src\InventoryBundle\Controller\VehicleController.php

Copy
<?php
namespace InventoryBundle\Controller;

use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Template;
use Oro\Bundle\SecurityBundle\Annotation\Acl;

    public function createAction(Request $request)
    {
        return $this->update(new Vehicle(), $request);
    }

     */
    public function updateAction(Vehicle $vehicle, Request $request)
    {
        return $this->update($vehicle, $request);
    }

    private function update(Vehicle $vehicle, Request $request)
    {
        //$form = $this->get('form.factory')->create('inventory_vehicle', $vehicle);
        $form = $this->get('form.factory')->create('InventoryBundle\Form\Type\VehicleType', $vehicle);
        $form->handleRequest($request);

        if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
            $entityManager = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
            $entityManager->persist($vehicle);
            $entityManager->flush();

            return $this->get('oro_ui.router')->redirectAfterSave(
                array(
                    'route' => 'inventory.vehicle_update',
                    'parameters' => array('id' => $vehicle->getId()),
                ),
                array('route' => 'inventory.vehicle_index'),
                $vehicle
            );
        }

        return array(
            'entity' => $vehicle,
            'form' => $form->createView(),
        );
    }

}

When I use this $form = $this->get('form.factory')->create('inventory_vehicle', $vehicle);, I encountered error:

Copy

Image

When I replaced it with $form = $this->get('form.factory')->create('InventoryBundle\Form\Type\VehicleType', $vehicle);, the form is rendered correctly:

Image

Go ahead and save a vehicle. There are some errors on the return page, something to do with incorrect route:

An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Unable to generate a URL for the named route "inventory_api_delete_vehicle" as such route does not exist.").

[edit] Follow steps in OroPlatform API and Deleting Entity and API Testing to delete entity.

The guide on deleting entities Archive is too vague and I don't know how to make it work. It is necessary to disable the delete button in the views in order to render all the pages correctly without error.

src\InventoryBundle\Resources\views\Vehicle\update.html.twig

replace line 12 from

{% form.vars.value.id and is_granted('DELETE', form.vars.value) %}

to

{% if 0 and form.vars.value.id and is_granted('DELETE', form.vars.value) %}

Also comment out the delete_link property in src\InventoryBundle\Resources\config\oro\datagrids.yml:

Copy
            #delete_link:
            #    type: url
            #    route: inventory_api_delete_vehicle
            #    params:
            #        - id

Show the Details of the Entity Vehicle

Create the view in src\InventoryBundle\Resources\views\Vehicle\view.html.twig.

Reference the guide Archive , I needed to make a couple of changes to the file::

  1. I disable the delete button on line 12.
  2. I change the variable name from vehicle to entity to be consistent with parent twig.
Copy
{% extends 'OroUIBundle:actions:view.html.twig' %}
{% import 'OroUIBundle::macros.html.twig' as UI %}
