README

This Magento 2 module allows for developers to build admin grids and admin forms in the Magento 2 Admin Panel in a faster way. No more ugly UiComponents that nobody understands. Create grids and forms quickly. And gradually add features to them, without getting stuck.

The LokiAdminComponents are based on the Loki Components module which is also used in the LokiCheckout. However, this admin tool shows that the Loki Extension suite can be applied in many more places.

Note that this library makes use of Alpine.js in the Magento Admin Panel. As for CSS, we stick to the native Magento Admin Panel classes instead: Everything looks the same.

Installation

composer require loki/magento2-admin-components
bin/magento module:enable Loki_AdminComponents Loki_Components Loki_CssUtils Loki_Base

Getting started with a grid

First create a module that generates a page in the Admin Panel (etc/module.xml, registration.php, a backend controller action class, perhaps acl.xml and menu.xml).

In your new XML layout file, add the following:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:View/Layout:etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <update handle="loki_admin_components_grid"/>

    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <block
                name="yireo-training.example-admin.grid"
                template="Loki_AdminComponents::grid.phtml">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="provider" xsi:type="string">
                        Magento\Catalog\Api\ProductRepositoryInterface
                    </argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

And you're done. After refreshing the Magento cache, you now have a product grid.

Refer to the documentation for fine-tuning this grid.

Getting started with a form

Again, first create a module that generates a page in the Admin Panel (etc/module.xml, registration.php, a backend controller action class, perhaps acl.xml and menu.xml).

In your new XML layout file, add the following:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:View/Layout:etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <update handle="loki_admin_components_form"/>

    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <block
                name="yireo-training.example-admin.form"
                template="Loki_AdminComponents::form.phtml">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="provider" xsi:type="string">
                        Magento\Catalog\Api\ProductRepositoryInterface
                    </argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

And you're done. After refreshing the Magento cache, you now have a basic product form.

Refer to the documentation for fine-tuning this form.
