EasyAdmin Symfony Date start from 2012 and end 2022

Question

I'm new with Symfony and EasyAdmin. In my entity I have a birthday. But when I show it, it shows the start year 2012, end 2022. How can I fix it?

This is the code:

/**
 * @var \date
 *
 * @ORM\Column(name="birth_day", type="date")
 */
private $birthDay;

You're experiencing a Symfony default year range. To solve this, you can construct your own DateTime type like this:

<?php

namespace AppBundle\AdminForm\Field;

use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\DateTimeType;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;

class MyCustomDateType extends DateTimeType
{
    public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
    {
        // Set the defaults from the DateTimeType we're extending from
        parent::configureOptions($resolver);

        // Override: Go back 20 years and add 20 years
        $resolver->setDefault('years', range(date('Y') - 20, date('Y') + 20));

        // Override: Use an hour range between 08:00AM and 11:00PM
        $resolver->setDefault('hours', range(8, 23));
    }
}

You could then instruct EasyAdmin to use this type like so:

- { property: 'occurance', 
    type: 'AppBundle\AdminForm\Field\MyCustomDateType', 
    label: 'Date and time' }
