Dynamic enum with extension

Hello,

I want to extend Account entity with new enum, which values are dynamically loaded from my own repository (new entity in system). I readed about it here: https://github.com/oroinc/platform/tree/master/src/Oro/Bundle/EntityExtendBundle#add-option-set-field but there is no description how to use my own data source. Can you help me please? Maybe I should use ExtendScope::OWNER_SYSTEM and extend account form type to achieve that?

Regards

Hello Dawid,

When you create new enum type you are in fact creating new entity and a relation to it.

In your case I can suggest 3 possible solutions:

1) create new enum type and use it. You can add some values during the migration and later on through UI/migrations.
2) create many-to-one relation from Account to your entity instead of enum
3) if for some reason you want to create enum and sync it’s values with your entity you can do this using postUpdate/postPersist events on Account add/update your enum field values.

Please tell me if you have any additional questions.

Best,
Martin

Hello Martin,

thank you for response. I chose option number 2 and added many-to-one relation. But problem is, that I can not add any additional conditions, like “don’t pick deleted rows”. My code:

PHP

$this->extendExtension->addManyToOneRelation( $schema, 'orocrm_account', 'account_status', 'orocrm_account_status', 'label', [ 'extend' => [ 'owner' => ExtendScope::OWNER_CUSTOM ] ] );

1 2 3

$this->extendExtension->addManyToOneRelation(               $schema, 'orocrm_account', 'account_status', 'orocrm_account_status', 'label', [ 'extend' => [ 'owner' => ExtendScope::OWNER_CUSTOM ] ]       );

Can you help me with that, please?

Best regards,
Dawid

Hello, Dawid.

If I understood you correctly you want to restrict list of entities you’d like to see at you entity dropdown. The easiest solution for that is to create custom form type (probably autocomplete) and add your restrictions there. Then you can set your form type to entity field configuration, so application with use it instead of the default form type.

Here is example of how it can be done:

PHP

$this->extendExtension->addManyToOneRelation( $schema, ..., ..., ..., ..., [ ... 'form' => [ 'is_enabled' => true, 'form_type' => YourFormType::class, 'form_options' => [ 'your_form_option' => '', ... ] ], ... ] );

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

$this->extendExtension->addManyToOneRelation(     $schema,     ...,     ...,     ...,     ...,     [ ...         'form' => [             'is_enabled' => true,             'form_type' => YourFormType::class,             'form_options' => [                 'your_form_option' => '', ...             ]         ], ...     ] );

Pretty good example of such functionality is available here.
