How to use VichUploaderBundle in CrudController's configureFields - symfony

Images aren't saving with settings below
public function configureFields(string $pageName): iterable
{
return [
ImageField::new('imageFile')->setBasePath('%app.path.product_images%'),
];
}

Answer 1

This working for me...
First create VichImageField
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Contracts\Field\FieldInterface;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Field\FieldTrait;
use Vich\UploaderBundle\Form\Type\VichImageType;
class VichImageField implements FieldInterface
{
use FieldTrait;
public static function new(string $propertyName, ?string $label = null)
{
return (new self())
->setProperty($propertyName)
->setTemplatePath('')
->setLabel($label)
->setFormType(VichImageType::class);
}
}
And
public function configureFields(string $pageName): iterable
{
return [
ImageField::new('imagename')->setBasePath($this->getParameter('app.path.product_images'))->onlyOnIndex(),
VichImageField::new('imageFile')->hideOnIndex()
];
}

Make sure to change at least 1 doctrine mapped field in your setter, otherwise doctrine won't dispatch events. Here is an example from the docs:
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="datetime")
* #var \DateTime
*/
private $updatedAt;
public function setImageFile(File $image = null)
{
$this->imageFile = $image;
// VERY IMPORTANT:
// It is required that at least one field changes if you are using Doctrine,
// otherwise the event listeners won't be called and the file is lost
if ($image) {
// if 'updatedAt' is not defined in your entity, use another property
$this->updatedAt = new \DateTime('now');
}
}

You need the resolve the parameter first.
Instead of
ImageField::new('imageFile')->setBasePath('%app.path.product_images%')
Try
...
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ParameterBag\ParameterBagInterface;
class ProductCrudController extends AbstractCrudController
{
private $params;
public function __construct(ParameterBagInterface $params)
{
$this->params = $params;
}
public function configureFields(string $pageName): iterable
{
return [
ImageField::new('imageFile')>setBasePath($this->params->get('app.path.product_images'))
];
}
