How to: create a custom reference data

The Kiboko entity helper traits

We built 3 helper traits for common attributes that constitue most of custom entity reference data.

• Labeled: A short text label
• Described: A long text description
• Pictured: A picture

All of three are translatable and use an optimized UX for PIM using lots of locales at the same time.

The Custom Entity

First, you will have to create your custom entity class, in the following example we will call it Pictogram.

As you can notice, the class is implementing five interfaces :

• ReferenceDataInterface and TranslatableInterface from Akeneo bundles. If you need more information about them please refere to their documentation: https://docs.akeneo.com/1.7/index.html .
• DescribedInterface, LabeledInterface and PicturedInterface are provided by this bundle as helpers

The default implementation of the interfaces is made in traits:

• TranslatableCustomEntityTrait, for TranslatableInterface and ReferenceDataInterface concrete implementations
• DescribedTrait for DescribedInterface implementation
• LabeledTrait for LabeledInterface implementation
• PicturedTrait for PicturedInterface implementation

Check the CustomEntityBundle documentation for explanations of the other methods declared in the example.

The Custom Entity Translation

If you wnt to managed translations you need to create a custom entity translation class, in the following example we will call it PictogramTranslation.

This class extends AbstractTranslation as stated by the CustomEntityBundle documentation.

It also have to implement the translation interface and use their corresponding translation helper traits :

• LabeledTranslationTrait for LabeledTranslationInterface implementation
• DescribedTranslationTrait for DescribedTranslationInterface implementation
• PicturedTranslationTrait for PicturedTranslationInterface implementation

The Doctrine configuration

In doctrine folder create the custom entity mapping in Resources/config/doctrine/Pictogram.orm.yml

For the pictureFallback field a oneToOne relation is required to the FileInfo model.

In order to manage translations a oneToMany relation is required.

If you want to manage translation you also need to create the mapping for the translation entity in Resources/config/doctrine/PictogramTranslation.orm.yml

Again, for the picture field a oneToOne relation is required to the FileInfomodel.

Don't forget to create migration file or update your schema:

• app/console doctrine:migration:diff (preferred)
• app/console doctrine:schema:update --force (dangerous, reserved for advanced users)

Datagrid configuration

Your custom entity is now declared, you need to realize the data grid configuration and the form mapping.

In your bundle create a datagrid folder in it create yaml file: Resources/config/datagrid/pictogram.yml

The section below configure the custom reference data entity to use.

Creating the Form Type for creation and edition

In your bundle create a Form folder, and a subfolder Type.
Add inside this folder create the custom entity type class that extends CustomEntityType.
In our exemple we call it PictogramType.

For each kiboko model you will use, you need to add to your form builder the correct mapping.
In our exemple we mapped label, description and picture models with their respective translatation field.

This class also need to implement :

• getName(): return the form custom entity type name
• setDefaultOption(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver): require to manage models translations

Now let's see to configure doctrine for our custom entity.

The Form Type configuration file

In the config folder of your bundle create a yaml file named 'form_types.yml'.
Resources/config/form_types.yml

This is where you have to mappe a form type with your custom data reference entity.

The Custom Entities configuration file

In the config folder of your bundle create a yaml file named 'custom_entities.yml'.
Resources/config/custom_entities.yml

This is where you have to define the services used for each action used in your datagrid.

Form view

Now you are ready to create your custom entity form view.
Create in the views folder of your bundle a twig file named form.html.twig as specified in your custom entities configuration file.
Resources/views/Pictogram/form.html.twig
