Sonata Date range

I have a small issue I am working on a small project using Sonata but I am trying to figure out how to customize the date range which a person can choose a date, example from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2020. Could someone tell me where I can find it in the Sonata documentation or show me how to do it ? Because I have a little look and I have nothing to completely customize the choice of dates.

Thanks in advance

Edit :

In symfony documentation I found this 

'days' => range(1,31)

Here : http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types/date.html

But I can't found anything in the sonata doc. And not working like on Symfony :/

Solution

  • I assume you use sonata_type_date_picker field in Sonata. Documentation is here. Then your case can be implemented like this:

    ->add('userDate', 'sonata_type_date_picker', [
    'dp_min_date' => 'Jan 1, 2000', //todo: date format here depends on your setup. Basicly it's the same format, you see in text field after you selected data in datepicker.
    'dp_max_date' => 'Dec 31, 2020',
]);

    Alternatively you can have date selector with 3 dropdowns - it's standard Symfony date field, works fine with SonataAdmin:

    ->add('userDate', 'date', [
    'years' => range(2000, 2020),
]);

    I would also recommend to add backend validation with the same rules (in Entity):

    /**
 * @var \DateTime()
 *
 * @Assert\Range(
 *      min = "2000-01-01",
 *      max = "2020-12-31"
 * )
 */
protected $userDate;
