Sonata Admin: how validate remove action?

Question

How check conditions before remove action and set flash message in sonata-admin?

I do not want remove super-user. My current code:

public function preRemove($object)
    {
        parent::preRemove($object);
        if ($object->getId() === User::SUPER_USER_ID) {
            throw new AccessDeniedException();
        }
    }

Its throw exception. I need send flash message in admin-panel.

Answer 1

I have used the CRUD controller preDelete() hook for this.

class MyCrudController extends CRUDController
{
    protected function preDelete(Request $request, $object): ?RedirectResponse
    {
        if (/* some blocking condition */) {
            $this->addFlash(
                'sonata_flash_error',
                $this->trans(
                    'flash_not_allowed_because_of_reasons',
                    ['%name%' => $this->escapeHtml($object)],
                    'SonataAdminBundle'
                )
            );
            return $this->redirectTo($object);
        }

        return null;
    }
}

Within the Sonata Admin CRUD Controller it will run this check:

    $preResponse = $this->preDelete($request, $object);
    if (null !== $preResponse) {
        return $preResponse;
    }

So if you return a Response from your preDelete() method, then Sonata Admin won't continue the delete. And with this method you will have only one flash message.

Thank you Ryuk Lee, He made me research the code :)

Solution:

public function preRemove($object)
    {
        parent::preRemove($object);
        if ($object->getId() === User::SUPER_USER_ID) {
            $this->getRequest()->getSession()->getFlashBag()->add('sonata_flash_error','Not delete super user');
            throw new ModelManagerException();
        }
    }

ModelManagerException - This is an exception that will make the sonata work properly. Do not delete the object and write a error message in the admin panel, without "success" message. Work only debug = false.

$kernel = new AppKernel('dev', false);

But I met a problem, toogle error messages ("more"):

2 solutions:

1) override template

config.xml

sonata_admin:
    templates:
        layout: 'admin/layout.html.twig'

layout.html.twig

{% extends '@SonataAdmin/standard_layout.html.twig' %}

{% block notice %}
    {% include 'admin/flash_messages.html.twig' %}
{% endblock notice %}

flash_messages.html.twig

{% for type in sonata_flashmessages_types() %}
    {% set domain = domain is defined ? domain : null %}
    {% set messages = sonata_flashmessages_get(type, domain) %}
    {% if messages|length > 0 %}
        {% for message in messages %}
            <div class="alert alert-{{ type|sonata_status_class }} alert-dismissable">
                <button
                        type="button"
                        class="close"
                        data-dismiss="alert"
                        aria-hidden="true"
                        aria-label="{{ 'message_close'|trans({}, 'SonataCoreBundle') }}">
                    &times;
                </button>
                {{ message | raw }}
            </div>
        {% endfor %}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Result:

2) Override Admin controller.

serivices.yml

admin.user.admin:
    class: AppBundle\Admin\AdminUserAdmin
    arguments: [~, AppBundle\Entity\User, AppBundle\Controller\Admin\AdminUserCRUDController]
    tags:
      - { name: sonata.admin, manager_type: orm, label: 'Admins' }

AdminUserCRUDController

class AdminUserCRUDController extends CRUDController
{
   public function deleteAction($id)
   {
       $redirectResponse = parent::deleteAction($id);
       /** @var FlashBagInterface $flashBag */
       $flashBag = $this->container->get('session')->getFlashBag();
       if($errors = $flashBag->get('sonata_flash_error')){
           $flashBag->set(
               'sonata_flash_error',
               implode('. ',array_unique($errors))
           );
       }
       return $redirectResponse;
   }

This is the override function. If you want to stop remove or remove if everything ok you just put parent::preRemove($object); or parent::remove($object); at the end of the function.

public function preRemove($object)
{
    if ($object->getId() === User::SUPER_USER_ID) {
        $this->getRequest()->getSession()->getFlashBag()->add(
            'error',
            'Title, Abstract and Small tile Media are required'
        );
        return;
    }
    //other code to check here

    parent::preRemove($object); 
}

public function remove($object)
{
    if ($object->getId() === User::SUPER_USER_ID) {
        $this->getRequest()->getSession()->getFlashBag()->add(
            'error',
            'Title, Abstract and Small tile Media are required'
        );
        return;
    }
    //other code to check here

    parent::remove($object); 
}
