Configuration Reference

Simplest Backend Configuration

Useful only for creating backend prototypes in a few seconds:

easy_admin:
    entities:
        - AppBundle\Entity\Customer
        - AppBundle\Entity\Product
        # ...

Full Backend Configuration

This section describes the entire list of configuration options available to customize your backends.

easy_admin

This is the root key for the entire backend configuration. All the other options are defined under this key.

site_name

(default value: 'Easy Admin', type: string)

The name displayed as the title of the administration zone (e.g. your company name, the project name, etc.) Example:

easy_admin:
    site_name: 'ACME Inc.'
    # ...

This value is displayed in the backend "as is", so you can include HTML tags and they will be rendered as HTML content. Example:

easy_admin:
    site_name: '<strong>ACME</strong>'
    # ...

formats

This is the parent key of the four options that configure the formats used to display dates and numbers.

date

(default value: 'Y-m-d', type: string)

The format applied in the list and show views to display the properties of type date. This format doesn't affect to time and datetime properties. The value must be a valid PHP date format according to the syntax options defined in http://php.net/date. Example:

easy_admin:
    formats:
        date: 'd/m/Y'
    # ...

time

(default value: 'H:i:s', type: string)

The format applied in the list and show views to display the properties of type time. This format doesn't affect to date and datetime properties. The value must be a valid PHP time format according to the syntax options defined in http://php.net/date. Example:

easy_admin:
    formats:
        time: 'h:i A e'
    # ...

datetime

(default value: 'F j, Y H:i', type: string)

The format applied in the list and show views to display the properties of type datetime. This format doesn't affect to date and time properties. The value must be a valid PHP time format according to the syntax options defined in http://php.net/date. Example:

easy_admin:
    formats:
        datetime: 'd/m/Y h:i A e'
    # ...

number

(default value: none, type: string)

The format applied in the list and show views to display the numeric properties. The value must be a format according to the syntax options defined in http://php.net/sprintf. Example:

easy_admin:
    formats:
        number: '%0.2f'
    # ...

disabled_actions

(default value: empty array, type: array)

The names of the actions disabled for all backend entities. This value can be overridden in a entity-by-entity basis, so you can disable some actions globally and then re-enable some of them for some entities. Example:

easy_admin:
    disabled_actions: ['new', 'edit']
    # ...

design

This is the parent key of the options that configure the options related to the visual design of the backend.

theme

(default value: 'default', type: string)

The name of the theme used to create the backend. The only theme available is called default. This option is in fact a placeholder for future use. You can safely ignore it.

color_scheme

(default value: 'dark', type: string, values: 'dark' or 'light')

It defines the colors used in the backend design. If you find the default dark color scheme too dark, try the light color scheme. Example:

easy_admin:
    design:
        color_scheme: 'light'
    # ...

brand_color

(default value: '#E67E22', type: string, values: any valid CSS expression to define a color)

This is the color used to highlight important elements of the backend, such as the site name, links and buttons. Use the main color of your company or project to create a backend that matches your branding perfectly. Example:

easy_admin:
    design:
        color_scheme: '#3B5998'
        # any valid CSS color syntax can be used
        # color_scheme: 'rgba(59, 89, 152, 0.5)'
    # ...

form_theme

(default value: 'horizontal', type: string or array of strings, values: 'horizontal', 'vertical', any valid form theme template path)

The form theme used to render the form fields in the edit and new views. The default 'horizontal' value is a shortcut of @EasyAdmin/form/bootstrap_3_horizontal_layout.html.twig which displays the form fields using the default horizontal Bootstrap 3 design.

The 'vertical' value is a shortcut of @EasyAdmin/form/bootstrap_3_layout.html.twig which displays the form fields using the more common vertical Bootstrap 3 design. This style is better than 'horizontal' when you want to increase the space available to edit the property values. Example:

easy_admin:
    design:
        form_theme: 'vertical'
    # ...

Moreover, you can use your own form theme just by defining the path to its templates. Example:

easy_admin:
    design:
        form_theme: '@App/custom_form_theme.html.twig'
    # ...

You can even use several form themes at the same time. Example:

easy_admin:
    design:
        form_theme: ['@App/custom_form_theme.html.twig', '@Acme/form/global_theme.html.twig']
    # ...

assets

This is the parent key of the css and js keys that allow to include any number of CSS and JavaScript assets in the backend layout.

css

(default value: empty array, type: array, values: any valid link to CSS files)

This option defines the custom CSS file (or files) that are included in the backend layout after loading the default CSS files. It's useful to link to the CSS files that customize the design of your backends. The values of this option are output directly in a <link> HTML element, so you can use relative or absolute links. Example:

easy_admin:
    design:
        css: ['/bundles/app/custom_backend.css', 'https://example.com/css/theme.css']
    # ...

CSS files are included in the same order as defined. This option cannot be used to remove the default CSS files loaded by EasyAdmin. To do so, you must override the <head> part of the layout template using a custom template.

js

(default value: empty array, type: array, values: any valid link to JavaScript files)

This option defines the custom JavaScript file (or files) that are included in the backend layout after loading the default JavaScript files. It's useful to link to the JavaScript files that customize the behavior of your backends. The values of this option are output directly in a <script> HTML element, so you can use relative or absolute links. Example:

easy_admin:
    design:
        js: ['/bundles/app/custom_widgets.js', 'https://example.com/js/animations.js']
    # ...

JavaScript files are included in the same order as defined. This option cannot be used to remove the default JavaScript files loaded by EasyAdmin. To do so, you must override the <head> part of the layout template using a custom template.

templates

(default value: none, type: strings, values: any valid Twig template path)

This option allows to redefine the template used to render each backend element, from the global layout to the micro-templates used to render each form field type. For example, to use your own template to display the properties of type boolean redefine the field_boolean template:

easy_admin:
    design:
        templates:
            field_boolean: '@MyBundle/backend/boolean.html.twig'
    # ...

Similarly, to customize the entire backend layout (used to render all pages) redefine the layout template:

easy_admin:
    design:
        templates:
            layout: '@MyBundle/backend/base.html.twig'
    # ...

This is the full list of templates that can be redefined:

easy_admin:
    design:
        templates:
            # Used to decorate the main templates (list, edit, new and show)
            layout: '...'
            # Used to render the page where entities are edited
            edit: '...'
            # Used to render the listing page and the search results page
            list: '...'
            # Used to render the page where new entities are created
            new: '...'
            # Used to render the contents stored by a given entity
            show: '...'
            # Used to render the form displayed in the new and edit pages
            form: '...'
            # Used to render the notification area were flash messages are displayed
            flash_messages: '...'
            # Used to render the paginator in the list page
            paginator: '...'
            # Used to render array field types
            field_array: '...'
            # Used to render fields that store Doctrine associations
            field_association: '...'
            # Used to render bigint field types
            field_bigint: '...'
            # Used to render boolean field types
            field_boolean: '...'
            # Used to render date field types
            field_date: '...'
            # Used to render datetime field types
            field_datetime: '...'
            # Used to render datetimetz field types
            field_datetimetz: '...'
            # Used to render decimal field types
            field_decimal: '...'
            # Used to render float field types
            field_float: '...'
            # Used to render the field called "id". This avoids formatting its
            # value as any other regular number (with decimals and thousand separators)
            field_id: '...'
            # Used to render image field types (a special type that displays the image contents)
            field_image: '...'
            # Used to render integer field types
            field_integer: '...'
            # Used to render unescaped values
            field_raw: '...'
            # Used to render simple array field types
            field_simple_array: '...'
            # Used to render smallint field types
            field_smallint: '...'
            # Used to render string field types
            field_string: '...'
            # Used to render text field types
            field_text: '...'
            # Used to render time field types
            field_time: '...'
            # Used to render toggle field types (a special type that display
            # booleans as flip switches)
            field_toggle: '...'
            # Used when the field to render is an empty collection
            label_empty: '...'
            # Used when is not possible to access the value of the field
            # to render (there is no getter or public property)
            label_inaccessible: '...'
            # Used when the value of the field to render is null
            label_null: '...'
            # Used when any kind of error or exception happens when trying to
            # access the value of the field to render
            label_undefined: '...'
    # ...

The label_* and field_* templates are only applied in the list and show templates. In order to customize the fields of the forms displayed in the new and edit views, use the easy_admin.design.form_theme option.

easy_admin:
    list:
        actions: ['new', 'show', 'myAction', 'myOtherAction']

The actions defined in this option are added to the default ones for each view. To remove an action, add it to this list prepending its name with a dash (-):

easy_admin:
    list:
        actions: ['-new', '-show', 'myAction', 'myOtherAction']

max_results

entities

(default value: empty array, type: array)

Defines the list of entities managed by the bundle.

Deprecated Configuration Options

EasyAdmin handles deprecated options transparently, so your backend will keep working even if your configuration is outdated. However, it's a good practice to not use these deprecated options:

list_actions

# DEPRECATED
easy_admin:
    list_actions: ['new', 'edit']
    # ...

# USE THIS INSTEAD
easy_admin:

# DEPRECATED
easy_admin:
    list_max_results: 20
