EasyAdmin Collection Field

allowAdd

By default, you can add new items to the collection. Use this option if you prefer to not allow that:

1

yield CollectionField::new('...')->allowAdd(false);

allowDelete

By default, you can delete any of the items included in the collection. Use this option if you prefer to not allow that:

1

yield CollectionField::new('...')->allowDelete(false);

renderExpanded

By default, items in the collection are represented by a single line showing their __toString() value. Users need to click on each item to reveal its embedded form. Use this option if you prefer to render all items expanded on page load:

1

yield CollectionField::new('...')->renderExpanded();

setEntryIsComplex

Set this option if the embedded form of each collection item contains multiple fields:

1

yield CollectionField::new('...')->setEntryIsComplex();

EasyAdmin will try to do its best to display those fields correctly:

setEntryType

The entries of the collection can be rendered either using a Symfony Form or an EasyAdmin CRUD Form. The setEntryType() method defines the Symfony form type used to render the form of each collection entry:

1

yield CollectionField::new('...')->setEntryType(SomeType::class);

showEntryLabel

By default, EasyAdmin hides the form label of each collection item (because it's an auto-increment integer number which doesn't look good most of the times). Use this option if you prefer to display that label:

1

yield CollectionField::new('...')->showEntryLabel();

useEntryCrudForm

The entries of the collection can be rendered either using a Symfony Form or an EasyAdmin CRUD Form. The useEntryCrudForm() method defines the EasyAdmin CRUD form used to render the form of each collection entry:

1

yield CollectionField::new('...')->useEntryCrudForm();

By default, EasyAdmin finds the CRUD controller associated to the property automatically. If you need better control about which CRUD controller to use, pass the fully-qualified class name of the controller as the first argument:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

yield CollectionField::new('...')->useEntryCrudForm(CategoryCrudController::class);

// the other optional arguments are the CRUD page names to pass to the configureFields()
// method when creating and editing entries respectively
yield CollectionField::new('...')->useEntryCrudForm(
    CategoryCrudController::class, 'new_category_on_article_page', 'edit_category_on_article_page'
);
