So... your site needs an admin area. Do yourself a favor and skip all that custom code and jump straight into EasyAdmin bundle. Why #1? Because it'll take you a fraction of the time to build what you need. Why #2? Because it'll be even better than what you would build by hand, including built-in widgets for auto-completion and toggling boolean fields. It's... pretty sweet.
In this tutorial, we'll learn how to admin interfaces that are highly customized:
Install & Bootstrapping the bundle
Dashboards! CRUD controllers!
All about Fields
Customize everything: what properties to display, how they render, help messages, sorting, filters... and more!
Override templates... at many different levels
Take control of your forms
Handling security
Adding custom actions (and removing others)
Updating and configuring the menu (like adding a link to kitten videos!)
Hooking into events to do things before or after an entity is saved
Adding custom CSS/JS behaviors to the page with Webpack Encore
... and more
So let's do a little bit of work for a lotta bit results (note: "lotta bit" is a term I just made up).

Originally, I thought that EasyAdmin was similar to PhpMyAdmin, but designed for Symfony.
However, after completing this course, I realized how powerful and customizable EasyAdmin is. The course starts with a base project, then guides you through adding EasyAdmin and customizing it.
I also learned new things about Symfony that I wasn't aware of before. -
"EasyAdmin! For an Awesomely Powerful Admin Area" stands out as the most comprehensive course in the Learn Symfony 6 track. From start to finish, it felt complete. The journey from installing EasyAdmin to diving deep into permissions was seamless. The instructor was great and made things clear. However, you'll need some PHP and Symfony background to get it all. Top recommendation for anyone wanting to learn Symfony's admin tools!
