Hello all, I've used admin generator a few times. Personally, I don't really understand the point of this. The forms in admin generator are based on the definitions in the form class. For the backend app, why is the common convention for devs to use admin generator? The only difference admin generator provides is the search filter. Doctrine generate creates the same kind of CRUD functionality that is seen in admin generator.
Second, since we have to rely on yml files (i.e. generator.yml) to configure the forms in admin generator. It leads to messy code. Especially when we have to declare partials in the .yml file just to display something different. Third, if our forms are a bit more complex. We need to copy most of the code from /cache dir and paste into the backend module actions file. Which makes it a bit tedious if we need to extend our application. Plus, we need to do this for every backend module that admin generator creates. And the same thing for templates! If I would have used doctrine generate (for example: symfony doctrine:generate-module --with-show --non-verbose-templates frontend user User) instead. I would have easy access to the templates folder. and the action files. Exactly the same way I would have it in the frontend app. Which in some ways, also keeps the coding structure consistent. Having admin generator only complicates the flow of things and defeats the purpose of keeping things convenient. I am starting to suspect that the admin generator is more for prototyping than anything....
