Enable Twig Components in Pimcore

I installed Symfony’s Twig Components in Pimcore to test if and how to do that.

A small warning ahead: This feature is still experimental, as their documentation titles.

To install the components in Pimcore simply install the components bundle via composer

composer require symfony/ux-twig-component

Now you need to tell Pimcore about this bundle in config/bundles.php

// config/bundles.php
return [
    ...
    Symfony\UX\TwigComponent\TwigComponentBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

It is installed and ready to be setup.
Depending on the specific setup these steps might vary, adjust accordingly

  1. Register the components in the services.yaml and make them public
  2. Create the components-class
  3. Create the components-template
  4. Use the template in your code e.g. the default-template
// services.yaml
AppBundle\Components\:
    resource: '../../Components'
    public: true
// src/Components/AlertComponent.php
namespace App\Components;

use Symfony\UX\TwigComponent\Attribute\AsTwigComponent;

#[AsTwigComponent('alert')]
class AlertComponent
{
    public string $type = 'success';
    public string $message;
}
{# templates/components/alert.html.twig #}
<div class="alert alert-{{ type }}">
    {{ message }}
</div>
{{ component('alert', { message: 'Hello Twig Components!' }) }}

Find all missing entries in two files

I have two csv-Files containing 30k customer information and should only return the customers missing in file1. Usecase: accidentially deleted some data (~1800) and need to import the deleted one, instead of importing 30k data and skip if they exist.

I did this via a small shell-script. The script can be downloaded and used here:

View Gist on Github

This is the magic 

grep -v -f <(tr ',' '\n' < "${patterns}") "${search}"

-v negates the search

Create custom form themes for Dachcoms Formbuilder Plugin in Pimcore

From time to time you want to overwrite the default templates for forms in pimcore.
I had some problems to find the information I need as they are spreaded widley.

To get it to work it should look like this:

Filestructure

# src/AppBundle/Resources/config/pimcore/config.yml
form_builder:
    form:
        templates:
            ivoclar_div_layout:
                value: 'my_form_div_layout.html.twig'
                label: 'Custom form layout'
                default: true
{# tempaltes/bundles/FormBuilderBundle/Form/Theme/Macro/my_form_div_layout.html.twig #}
{% macro form_builder_form_head() %}
{% endmacro %}

{% macro form_builder_form_foot() %}
{% endmacro %}

{% macro form_builder_form_message(flash_messages) %}
    {% if flash_messages is not empty %}
        {% for label, messages in flash_messages %}
            {% for message in messages %}
                <div class="message message-{{ label }}">
                    {{ message|raw }}
                </div>
            {% endfor %}
        {% endfor %}
    {% endif %}
{% endmacro %}
{# tempaltes/bundles/FormBuilderBundle/Form/Theme/my_form_div_layout.html.twig #}
{% extends "form_div_layout.html.twig" %}

{%- block widget_attributes -%}
    id="{{ id }}" name="{{ name }}"
    {%- if disabled %} disabled="disabled"{% endif -%}
    {%- if required %} required="required"{% endif -%}
    {{ block('attributes') }}
{%- endblock widget_attributes -%}

Overwrite field-names with a template

In Pimcore I’m using https://github.com/dachcom-digital/pimcore-formbuilder to create input forms in my project.
I have the problem that the default input names are not the once I need for my task.

Default names
<input .. name="formbuilder_1[task]"
<input .. name="task"

I created a form theme to overwrite it

{# /templates/bundles/FormBuilderBundle/Form/Theme/myform_div_layout.html.twig #}
{% extends "form_div_layout.html.twig" %}

{%- block widget_attributes -%}
    id="{{ id }}" name="{{ name }}"
    {%- if disabled %} disabled="disabled"{% endif -%}
    {%- if required %} required="required"{% endif -%}
    {{ block('attributes') }}
{%- endblock widget_attributes -%}

The default name is {{full_name}}, replaced with {{name}} returns the fieldname I’ve set in the formbuilder form.

Laravel hasManyThrough

There is the useful hasManyThrough in Eloquent in which you can you 3 Tables and define which keys to use to join them.

Laravels example and documentation can be found here .
There is a little detail problem with it, it is all called id and the example wasn’t helping me much.

I have the following tables to handle job applications to jobs
Jobs
– id
– title
– description

Users
– id
– firstname
– lastname

Application
– id
– user_id
– job_id
– application_date

In the jobsmodel I want to get a list of all applicants.
Here is the first version of this

public function applicants(): HasManyThrough
{
    return $this->hasManyThrough(
        'App\Models\User',
        'App\Models\Application',
        'job_id',
        'id',
        'id',
        'id'
    );
}

While testing I received some strange applicants which never applied for the job.

After debugging I found that the last 'id' uses job.id to load the users with user.id. Bug found.
It should really be application.user_id to load the correct users. So a small change to this:

public function applicants(): HasManyThrough
{
    return $this->hasManyThrough(
        'App\Models\User',
        'App\Models\Application',
        'job_id', // (application.job_id)
        'id', // Foreign key on User table (user.id)
        'id', // Local key on job table (job.id)
        'user_id' // Local key on Application table (application.user_id)
    );
}

So changing the last id to user_id fixed that bug.
