[FIXED] How to configure a Translatable Entity in EasyAdmin?

Issue

I'm using Translatable and EasyAdmin in a Symfony 5 project and I have configured 2 languages.

The issue is I need to be able to edit the different languages of a record in EasyAdmin, I have checked the docs of Translatable, EasyAdmin and Symfony, There is very little information about how to integrate database translations into EasyAdmin.

Therefore, I'm a bit stuck in terms of code, I have tried configuring setTranslationParameters() inside the entity CRUD controller and changing some configuration in the DashboardController however, I don't think this is the right approach.

Any suggestions of how to solve this issue? Thank you for your effort and time.

Solution

as of writing, this feature doesn't exist in EasyAdmin, please see the link to the answer to the issue on Github.

However, a work around is possible with a different package:

1. remove doctrine-extensions/DoctrineExtensions and then install KnpLabs/DoctrineBehaviors
2. install a2lix/translation-form-bundle
3. Create a translation field:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Controller\Admin\Field;

use A2lix\TranslationFormBundle\Form\Type\TranslationsType;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Contracts\Field\FieldInterface;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Field\FieldTrait;

final class TranslationField implements FieldInterface
{
    use FieldTrait;

    public static function new(string $propertyName, ?string $label = null, array $fieldsConfig = []): self
    {
        return (new self())
            ->setProperty($propertyName)
            ->setLabel($label)
            ->setFormType(TranslationsType::class)
            ->setFormTypeOptions([
                'default_locale' => 'cz',
                'fields' => $fieldsConfig,
            ]);
    }
}

4. Use the TranslationField inside your admin CRUD controller:

    public function configureFields(string $pageName): iterable
    {
        return [
            TextField::new('title', 'title')->hideOnForm(),
            TranslationField::new('translations', 'translations', [
                'title' => [
                    'field_type' => TextType::class,
                    'required' => true,
                ]
                // add more translatable properties into the array
            ])->setRequired(true)
                ->hideOnIndex()
        ];
    }
