Formatter Extension

This extension does not affect datasource, it applies after the result set is fetched by the datagrid and provides changes using formatters that are described in the config. This extension is also responsible for passing columns configuration to the view layer.

Formatters

Field

1
2
3
4
5
 column_name:
     type: field # default value `field`, so this key could be skipped here
     frontend_type: date|datetime|decimal|integer|percent|currency|select|text|html|boolean # optional default string
     data_name: someAlias.someField # optional, key in result that should represent this field
     divisor: some number # optional if you need to divide a numeric value by a number before rendering it

Represents the default data field.

URL

 column_name:
     type: url
     route: some_route # required
     isAbsolute: true|false # optional
     params: [] # optional params for route generating, will be took from record
     anchor: string #optional, use it when need to add some #anchor to generated url

Represents URL field, mostly used for generating urls for actions.

Twig

 column_name:
     type: twig
     template: string # required, template name
     context: [] # optional, should not contain reserved keys(record, value)

 column_name:
     type: translatable
     data_name: string #optional if need to took value from another column
     domain: string #optional
     locale: string #optional

Used when field should be translated by symfony translator.

Callback

1
2
3
 column_name:
     type: callback
     callable: "@link" # required

Used when field should be formatted using a callback, see Reference in YAML Configuration for more information.

Note that the whole node configuration is passed to the callback method as the $node argument. Therefore, if you need is to pass some arguments to the callback method, you can add any parameter to the grid config, e.g.:

1
2
3
4
 column_name:
     type: callback
     callable: "@link.to.some.service->myCallbackMethod"
     myCallbackParam: 'Some Value'

And then use this parameter in the callback method like this:

 use Oro\Bundle\DataGridBundle\Datasource\ResultRecordInterface;

 class MyFormatterService
 {
     public function myCallbackMethod($gridName, $keyName, $node)
     {
         if (!array_key_exists('myCallbackParam', $node)) {
             return false;
         }

         $myCallbackParam = $node['myCallbackParam'];

         return function (ResultRecordInterface $record) use ($myCallbackParam) {
             $result = '';
             // Do something using $myCallbackParam

             return $result;
         };
     }
 }

Localized Number

 column_name:
     type: localized_number
     method: formatCurrency        # required
     context: []                   # optional
     context_resolver: "@callable" # optional
     divisor: some number # optional if you need to divide a numeric value by a number before rendering it

Used to format numbers using Oro\Bundle\LocaleBundle\Formatter\NumberFormatter on backend.

  • method - method from NumberFormatter that should be used for formatting
  • context - static arguments for method that will be called, starts from 2nd arg
  • context_resolver - callback that will resolve dynamic arguments for method that will be called, starts from 2nd arg should be compatible with following declaration: function (ResultRecordInterface $record, $value, NumberFormatter $formatter) {}

Example:

We would like to format currency, but the currency code should be retrieved from the current row

1
2
3
4
 column_name:
     type: localized_number
     method: formatCurrency
     context_resolver: staticClass::staticFunc

 class staticClass {
     public static function staticFunc()
         {
             return function (ResultRecordInterface $record, $value, NumberFormatter $formatter) {
                 return [$record->getValue('currencyFieldInResultRow')];
             };
         }
 }

 // will call
 // NumberFormatter->formatCurrency('value of column_name field', 'value of currencyFieldInResultRow field');

Note

Option frontend_type can be applied to the formatter of any type, it will be used to format cell data in the frontend.

Customization

To implement your own formatter:

  • Develop a class that implements PropertyInterface (also there is basic implementation in AbstractProperty)
  • Register your formatter as a service tagged as { name: oro_datagrid.extension.formatter.property, type: YOUR_TYPE }
