Question: Override configuration

[marcelloh]

Would it be possible to override certain configurations in realtime, so I can have a list per user.

We have this: listFields: [id, created_at, updated_at, author, title] and it's the same for all users.

When I can override this, because a user is capable of having a personalized view, I could store it somewhere [author, title, id, created_at, updated_at] and restore it just before I show the list.

Or even make some fields hidden for this user: listFields: [id, author, title]

And some would like me to have a personalized pagesize as well.

So user A gets a different listFields configuration than user B? As CRUDlex is itself is not tied to any security component, this is not currently possible. But what you could do is: Extend the ControllerProvider class and override the function showList. There, you could:

• check whether the current entity is the one to modify
• grab the definition from $app['crud']->get('yourEntity')->getDefinition()
• set the listFields to show: https://github.com/philiplb/CRUDlex/blob/master/src/CRUDlex/EntityDefinition.php#L202
• call parent::showList()

You then need to mount your extended controller instead of the standard one.

Feel free to reopen the issue if you have any more questions or feedback. :)

Yes; User A gets a different view.

Nice idea, perhaps with the stuff you giving me, I'm going to try some of it :-)
