Sylius Grid EntityFilter - sort or use repository - symfony

Question

I added a large entity filter to one of my Sylius grid configurations. I haven't found any configuration options besides class name and from the looks of it, option values are just ordered by ID. Is there a way to use a repository method or at least provide sort field? Do I need to use a custom filter for this?

Answer 1

You can define what repository method to use on your YAML file and what arguments you want to send to that method:
sylius_grid:
grids:
app_user: # Your grid name
driver:
name: doctrine/orm
options:
class: "%app.model.user%"
repository:
method: myCustomMethod
arguments:
id: resource.id
sorting:
name: asc
limits: [10, 25, 50, 100]
Check the Sylius Grid Bundle documentation for more information: Configuration Reference

Answer 2

Here's how to define a new type :
final class CustomFilterType extends AbstractType {
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder->add(
'shop',
EntityType::class,
[
'class' => Shop::class,
'label' => false,
'multiple' => true, //if you need multiple selection
'query_builder' => function (EntityRepository $er) {
return $er->createQueryBuilder('s');
// define your query builder here
},
'choice_label' => function ($shop) { /** #var $shop Shop */
return $shop->getName();
},
]
);
}
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
public function getBlockPrefix(): string
{
return 'sylius_grid_filter_entity_multiple';
}
}
Then in your services.yaml :
app.grid_filter.custom_filter:
class: Sylius\Component\Grid\Filter\SelectFilter
tags: [{
name: 'sylius.grid_filter',
type: 'custom_type',
form_type: App\Form\Grid\Filter\CustomFilterType
}]
And finally, in your grid definition:
filters:
shops:
type: custom_type
label: app.ui.shops
