[Question] Is it possible to calculate column value from separate service? about easyadminbundle HOT 3 CLOSED

This is not a built-in feature ... but maybe you can achieve it as follows:

(1) Add some property of the entity in that column (or make it a virtual column not referring to any property)

(2) Mark the property as not sortable

(3) Use the formatValue() method (https://symfony.com/bundles/EasyAdminBundle/current/fields.html#formatting-options) and there, call your service (which you have to previously inject in the controller)

Cheers!

@javiereguiluz, Is there a way to gather all selected entities before processing fields?
I'm asking because I have a service that retrieves data from another data store using a REST API. This service has a method like RemoteDataService::getDataByIds(string ...$id). Using the formatValue callback to fetch only one remote record for each entity is not optimal. I'm looking for a solution where I can get the collection of entities before processing fields and preload data for rendering. It's related for INDEX action.

My current workaround involves using the EntityFactory decorator, but it's not possible without the easycorp/easyadmin-no-final-plugin package, as EntityFactory lacks an interface. I don't think it looks like the proper way to achieve this functionality. Here's my implementation https://gist.github.com/misterx/703f253a37b40c312b032659f4e38a21
