CRUD de usuarios

How to implement a CRUD system for users?

The CRUD system is essential to efficiently manage user information on any platform. In this context, we can handle the basic operations: create, read, update and delete records from the administrative panel. Let's explore how to configure it according to the example of our dashboard.

What is the initial process to create the CRUD system?

The first step is to configure the CRUD for the users section. We start by running a command from the terminal that will guide us through the creation of this functionality:

php bin/console make:admin:crud

At this point, we will be asked to choose an option to indicate that we will be working with users. Then, the necessary files and configurations are created automatically.

How is the CRUD displayed in the panel?

Once configured, it is crucial that the CRUD is visible from the Dashboard. To achieve this, we follow these steps:

1. Copy and paste configurations: We take the generated configuration and integrate it into our dashboard.
2. Organize the menu: We edit the menu items, adding "Users" as an option with a representative icon.
3. Update and access: When we update our panel, we will be able to visualize the "Users" option, thus accessing all the registered information.

What should we customize in the users window?

To improve user management, it is essential to customize the displayed fields. We configure which will be visible at login, sorting users by their ID and allowing email to be a crucial display field:

• Search by email: We customize the main search using the email field, sorting in descending order, starting with the ID.
• Show specifiers: In the home view, we only show the ID and email for simplicity.

How to configure roles within the administrative panel?

Role management allows you to assign specific permissions to users from the dashboard. We add assignable fields such as "Administrator" or "User":

1. Add a selection field: we create a field that allows you to choose between different roles.
2. Define options: We set the options for "Administrator" and "User", ensuring that at least one is assigned.

The goal is to ensure that each registered user can be identified with a default role.

How do we test our configuration?

After implementing the changes, it is essential to validate that the system works correctly:

• Run tests: we access the "Users" panel, where we will test the functionality to view, edit and assign roles.
• Recurring login: We verify that after each update, the login is required to correctly reflect the changes.

The objective of this complete configuration is that, when managing users, we ensure that the functionality is accurate and the information is available in an orderly and secure manner from the administrative panel. This also facilitates the future implementation of relationships with other modules in the system, such as publications and comments.
