Instead of rendering country flags (in CountryField) using an <img> tag,
they are now rendered as plain <svg> files using a Twig component. This change
removes hundreds of lines in our manifest.json file and also removes a JavaScript
dependency. Flags still look and work the same as before.
If you used the included country flags in your own templates (which is rare and not documented) you need to do the following change:
{# Before #}
<img class="country-flag" height="17" alt="{{ country_name }}" title="{{ country_name }}" src="{{ asset('images/flags/' ~ flag_code ~ '.svg', ea.assets.defaultAssetPackageName) }}">
{# After #}
<twig:ea:Flag countryCode="{{ flag_code }}" height="17" />In EasyAdmin 4.16.0, we introduced a feature allowing the use of custom icon sets in addition to the default FontAwesome icons. As part of this update, FontAwesome icons were changed to be rendered as inline SVGs instead of being applied via CSS classes. This change has been reverted in this version, restoring the previous behavior so you can continue using FontAwesome icons as before in EasyAdmin.
This is a small BC break. When using pretty URLs, the generated URLs used
underscores and they now use dashes and snake case. For example, before an URL
could be /admin/blog_post/batchDelete and now it's /admin/blog-post/batch-delete
The route names remain the same (e.g. admin_blog_post_batch_delete) and you
probably always generate URLs using the route name, so this BC break won't impact you.
REVERTED This change was reverted in EasyAdmin 4.18.0. If you use FontAwesome icons, you don't have to do any change.
Starting from 4.14.0 version, EasyAdmin includes a custom route loader that can generate pretty URLs in your backend. Enable this feature by creating the following routing file in your application:
# config/routes/easyadmin.yaml
easyadmin:
resource: .
type: easyadmin.routesThe MenuItemMatcherInterface has changed as follows:
- The
isSelected(MenuItemDto $menuItemDto)method has been removed - The
isExpanded(MenuItemDto $menuItemDto)method has been removed - A new
markSelectedMenuItem(array<MenuItemDto> $menuItems)method has been added
Read the comments in the code of the MenuItemMatcher class to learn about the
new menu item matching logic.
The default title of the detail page in previous versions was %entity_as_string%
which is a placeholder that refers to the value returned by the __toString()
method of the entity.
This can potentially result in a XSS vulnerability because page titles and other
elements are rendered with the raw Twig filter (to allow you to customize the
contents with HTML tags).
Starting from EasyAdmin 4.10.0, the default page title is %entity_label_singular% <small>(#%entity_short_id%)</small>,
which only contains safe items that will never result in a XSS issue. If you
want to keep the previous page title (because you don't include user-generated
contents in __toString() or because you sanitize all user-submitted data) you
can add the following to your dashboard and all your CRUD controllers will use
that page title:
class DashboardController extends AbstractDashboardController
{
// ...
public function configureCrud(Crud $crud): Crud
{
return $crud
// ...
->setPageTitle('detail', '%entity_as_string%')
;
}
}
You can still use FormField::addPanel() but it's deprecated and it will be
removed in EasyAdmin 5.0.0. To fix the deprecation, "Find & Replace" in your IDE:
// Before
yield FormField::addPanel('...');
// After
yield FormField::addFieldset('...');
If your application uses custom advanced features, you might need to change some
other occurrences of "panel" such as CSS styles (.form-panel -> .form-fieldset)
and form attributes in CrudFormType ($formFieldOptions['ea_form_panel'] ->
$formFieldOptions['ea_form_fieldset'] = $currentFormFieldset)
This is a backward compatibility break that only affects you if you customize
the default crud/field/country.html.twig template or if you use a custom
template fo render Country fields.
Starting from this EasyAdmin version, Country fields allow to select more
than one value. That's why the type of the formatted value has changed from
?string to ?array. E.g. if the value of your entity property is ES;
before, field.formattedValue stored the string 'Spain' and now it stores
the array ['ES' => 'Spain'].
The country code (used to display the country flag) is now the key of the new
array. Before, you had to use an internal propery called flagCode which has
been removed.
EasyAdmin now supports multilingual dashboards. First, add the _locale parameter
in the URL of your dashboard (e.g. /admin/{_locale}) to enable the default
Symfony locale listener that handles the locale switching. If you can't do this,
you'll need to implement your own logic to handle the request locale in a way
compatible with Symfony.
After that, call the setLocales() method in the dashboard configuration class,
passing an array of locales that should be exposed in the interface.
We've changed how translations are managed internally in EasyAdmin. Before we passed translated contents to templates. Now we pass Symfony's "translatable" objects to templates.
This means that many classes have been changed to allow using TranslatableMessage objects
in places where previously only string, false or null were allowed.
Return types were also loosened to allow returning TranslatableMessage where applicable.
In practice this should not affect to most applications because TranslatableMessage
objects gracefully transform to strings when needed. However, you might need to
update some checks where you only expected string scalar values and now you might
also get TranslatableMessage objects.
Full list of changes in final classes:
Config\Action (new, setLabel); only docblocks and deprecation logic
Config\Menu*MenuItem (constructors)
Config\MenuItem (linkTo*, section, subMenu)
Dto\ActionDto (getLabel, setLabel and private field)
Dto\CrudDto (getEntityLabelInSingular, setEntityLabelInSingular,getEntityLabelInPlural, setEntityLabelInPlural, setCustomPageTitle, getHelpMessage, setHelpMessage)
Dto\FieldDto (getLabel, setLabel, getHelp, setHelp)
Dto\FilterDto (getLabel, setLabel); only docblocks
Dto\MenuItemDto (getLabel, setLabel)
Field*Field (new); only docblocks
Field\FormField (addPanel, addTab)
List of signature changes in non-final classes and traits:
Config\Crud (setHelp)
Field\FieldTrait (setLabel, setHelp); setLabel only in docblock
Use this method when defining choice labels with translatable objects. For example:
yield ChoiceField::new('...')->setTranslatableChoices([
'paid' => t('Paid Invoice'),
'pending' => t('Invoice Sent but Unpaid'),
'refunded' => 'Refunded Invoice', // You can mix strings with TranslatableMessage objects
]);
Flags that are optionally displayed in CountryField have been redesigned and
updated their format from .png to .svg. This doesn't require any change in
your application, but if you are using the flag images in your own custom designs,
update the path of the images:
# Before
<img alt="Flag of Panama" src="/bundles/easyadmin/images/flags/PA.png">
# After
<img alt="Flag of Panama" src="/bundles/easyadmin/images/flags/PA.svg">
Backend URLs no longer include signatures, because they don't provide any additional security. The following classes and methods are deprecated:
AdminUrlGenerator::addSignature()methodAdminUrlGenerator::getSignature()methodUrlSignerclass and serviceDashboard::disableUrlSignatures()method
The validity of URL signatures is no longer checked either. If you add signatures manually, you'll need to check them too.
