How to customize The Symfony MakerBundle

Question

I am trying to customize the maker:crud.

The official documentation and The Symfony MakerBundle indicates "you can create your own make: ... command reusing the tools provided by this bundle .To do that, you should create a class that extends AbstractMaker in your src/Maker/ directory".

So my first step is to copy from the repository, which is also indicated in the documentation, the script MakeCrud.php in the src/Maker/MakeCustomCrud.php (I rename it). I apply some basic changes like renaming the class and the name of the command.

When ready the available commands I am waiting to see between the commands make some make:custom-crud. Obviously when trying to invoke it (php bin/console make:custom-crud) I am informed Command "make:custom-crud" is not defined. I'm doing something wrong and I don't know what it is.

I transcribe part of the code below src/Maker/MakeCustomCrud.php:

    {
        $command
            ->setDescription('Creates Custom CRUD for Doctrine entity class')
            ->addArgument('entity-class', InputArgument::OPTIONAL, sprintf('The class name of the entity to create Custom CRUD (e.g. <fg=yellow>%s</>)', Str::asClassName(Str::getRandomTerm())))
            ->setHelp(file_get_contents(__DIR__.'/../Resources/help/MakeCrud.txt'))
        ;

        $inputConfig->setArgumentAsNonInteractive('entity-class');
    }

Answer 1

I resolved this problem with this lines in services.yaml

maker.renderer.form_type_renderer:
    class: Symfony\Bundle\MakerBundle\Renderer\FormTypeRenderer
    arguments:
         - '@maker.generator'
Symfony\Bundle\MakerBundle\Renderer\FormTypeRenderer:
    alias: maker.renderer.form_type_renderer

I hope it helps you

You can patch it with composer:

• Make a directory ./patch
• Copy the file of vendor directory ./vendor/symfony/maker--bundle/src/Resources/skeleton/form/Type.tpl.php and add in your composer.json

Example:

 "scripts": {
    "auto-scripts": {
        "cache:clear": "symfony-cmd",
        "assets:install %PUBLIC_DIR%": "symfony-cmd"
    },
    "patch": [
        "cp patch/patch_crud/Type.tpl.php vendor/symfony/maker-bundle/src/Resources/skeleton/form/."
    ],
    "post-install-cmd": [
        [
            "@patch",
            "@auto-scripts"
        ]
    ],
    "post-update-cmd": [
        "@patch",
        "@auto-scripts"
    ]
},

you can modify the file
