Getting Started
Customization refers to a series of actions that enable you to personalize your agent, data source, or collection.
An agent is an HTTP server that serves the Forest Admin front-end application. A data source is a database or an API that you want to connect to Forest Admin. A collection is a set of data that you want to manage in Forest Admin.
Among other things, you can modify your agent by incorporating data sources, using plugins, customizing collections, and adding charts. Additionally, you can personalize your data sources by offering choices that cater to all data source types. Lastly, you can adapt your collections by including actions, fields, relations, segments between the data sources and other functionalities.
The available customizations are listed in the sections below: actions, charts, fields, hooks, pagination, plugins, relationships, search and segments.
Using them always starts with the same step: use the
customizeCollection method on the collection you want to customize.It takes two arguments: the collection name and a callback function.
use ForestAdmin\AgentPHP\Agent\Utils\Env;
use ForestAdmin\AgentPHP\DatasourceCustomizer\CollectionCustomizer;
use ForestAdmin\AgentPHP\DatasourceCustomizer\Decorators\Computed\ComputedDefinition;
$forestAgent->addDatasource(
new DoctrineDatasource($forestAgent->getEntityManager(), ['url' => Env::get('DATABASE_URL')])
)
->customizeCollection(
'Task',
function (CollectionCustomizer $builder) {
$builder->addField('title', new ComputedDefinition(/* ... field definition ... */));
}
)
