Field types

This is the list of built-in field types.

String

The simplest column type, which displays the value at the specified path as plain text.

By default, it uses the name of the field, but you can specify a different path if needed. For example:

config/packages/sylius_grid.yaml
sylius_grid:
    grids:
        app_user:
            fields:
                email:
                    type: string
                    label: app.ui.email # each field type can have a label, we suggest using translation keys instead of messages
                    path: contactDetails.email

This configuration will display the value of $user->getContactDetails()->getEmail().

DateTime

This column type works exactly the same way as StringField, but expects a DateTime instance and outputs a formatted date and time string.

Available options:

  • format - defaults to Y:m:d H:i:s, you can set it to any supported format (see https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php)

  • timezone - defaults to %sylius_grid.timezone% parameter, null if such a parameter does not exist, you can set it to any supported timezone (see https://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php)

config/packages/sylius_grid.yaml
sylius_grid:
    grids:
        app_user:
            fields:
                birthday:
                    type: datetime
                    label: app.ui.birthday
                    options:
                        format: 'Y:m:d H:i:s'
                        timezone: null

If you want to call the setOptions function, you must pass both 'format' and 'timezone' as arguments again. Otherwise, they will be unset.

$field->setOptions([
    'format' => 'Y-m-d H:i:s',
    'timezone' => 'null'

    // Your options here
]);

Twig

The Twig column type is the most flexible one, because it delegates the logic of rendering the value to the Twig templating engine. First, you must specify the template you want to render.

config/packages/sylius_grid.yaml
sylius_grid:
    grids:
        app_user:
            fields:
                name:
                    type: twig
                    label: app.ui.name
                    options:
                        template: "@Grid/Column/_prettyName.html.twig"

Then, within the template, you can render the field's value via the data variable.

@Grid/Column/_prettyName.html.twig
<strong>{{ data }}</strong>

If you wish to render more complex grid fields, just redefine the path of the field to root in your grid – path: . and then you can access all attributes of the object instance:

<strong>{{ data.name }}</strong>
<p>{{ data.description|markdown }}</p>

If you want to call the setOptions function, you must pass 'template' as an argument again. Otherwise, it will be unset.

$field->setOptions([
    'template' => ':Grid/Column:_prettyName.html.twig',

    // Your options here
]);
