Why is EasyAdmin 4 function configureMenuItems() in DashboardController not working? - symfony

Question

I am currently using EasyAdmin 4 with Symfony to create a backend admin page to manage users.
I did all the step that was in the documentation but yet it still giving me an error:
"Unable to find the controller related to the "App\Controller\Admin\User" Entity; did you forget to extend "EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Controller\AbstractCrudController"?"
Here is the code in DashboardController:
<?php
namespace App\Controller\Admin;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Config\Dashboard;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Config\MenuItem;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Controller\AbstractDashboardController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;
class DashboardController extends AbstractDashboardController
{
#[Route('/admin', name: 'admin')]
public function index(): Response
{
return $this->render('admin/dashboard.html.twig');
}
public function configureDashboard(): Dashboard
{
return Dashboard::new()
->setTitle('Symfony Melody')
->renderContentMaximized();
}
public function configureMenuItems(): iterable
{
yield MenuItem::linkToDashboard('Dashboard', 'fa fa-home');
yield MenuItem::linkToCrud('User', 'fas fa-user', User::class);
}
}
Here is the code in UserCrudController:
<?php
namespace App\Controller\Admin;
use App\Entity\User;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Config\Crud;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Controller\AbstractCrudController;
class UserCrudController extends AbstractCrudController
{
public static function getEntityFqcn(): string
{
return User::class;
}
public function configureCrud(Crud $crud): Crud
{
return $crud;
}
/*
public function configureFields(string $pageName): iterable
{
return [
IdField::new('id'),
TextField::new('title'),
TextEditorField::new('description'),
];
}
*/
}
Here is the code in the User class:
<?php
namespace App\Entity;
use App\Repository\UserRepository;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Validator\Constraints\UniqueEntity;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\PasswordAuthenticatedUserInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\UserInterface;
#[ORM\Entity(repositoryClass: UserRepository::class)]
#[UniqueEntity(fields: ['email'], message: 'There is already an account with this email')]
class User implements UserInterface, PasswordAuthenticatedUserInterface
{
#[ORM\Id]
#[ORM\GeneratedValue]
#[ORM\Column]
private ?int $id = null;
#[ORM\Column(length: 180, unique: true)]
private ?string $email = null;
#[ORM\Column]
private array $roles = [];
/**
* #var string The hashed password
*/
#[ORM\Column]
private ?string $password = null;
#[ORM\Column(length: 255)]
private ?string $nom = null;
#[ORM\Column(length: 255)]
private ?string $prenom = null;
public function getId(): ?int
{
return $this->id;
}
public function getEmail(): ?string
{
return $this->email;
}
public function setEmail(string $email): self
{
$this->email = $email;
return $this;
}
/**
* A visual identifier that represents this user.
*
* #see UserInterface
*/
public function getUserIdentifier(): string
{
return (string) $this->email;
}
/**
* #see UserInterface
*/
public function getRoles(): array
{
$roles = $this->roles;
// guarantee every user at least has ROLE_USER
$roles[] = 'ROLE_USER';
return array_unique($roles);
}
public function setRoles(array $roles): self
{
$this->roles = $roles;
return $this;
}
/**
* #see PasswordAuthenticatedUserInterface
*/
public function getPassword(): string
{
return $this->password;
}
public function setPassword(string $password): self
{
$this->password = $password;
return $this;
}
/**
* #see UserInterface
*/
public function eraseCredentials()
{
// If you store any temporary, sensitive data on the user, clear it here
// $this->plainPassword = null;
}
public function getNom(): ?string
{
return $this->nom;
}
public function setNom(string $nom): self
{
$this->nom = $nom;
return $this;
}
public function getPrenom(): ?string
{
return $this->prenom;
}
public function setPrenom(string $prenom): self
{
$this->prenom = $prenom;
return $this;
}
}
I tried reading the documentation again but i can't find any answers.
Can someone help please? it would be great, thank you.

You are Missing the use of App\Entity\User
In your DashboardController try to add this line :
use App\Entity\User;
On the top of your class file
Happy coding 🙂
