11. Export / DataSource¶

When using an admins export feature you might want to modify how dates and times are exported. This is done by calling setDateTimeFormat on the data source iterator.

Here’s one way to do it:

Decorate the default SonataDoctrineORMAdminBundleExporterDataSource with your own and call setDateTimeFormat there.:

<?php

namespace App\Service\Admin;

use Sonata\AdminBundle\Datagrid\ProxyQueryInterface;
use Sonata\AdminBundle\Exporter\DataSourceInterface;
use Sonata\DoctrineORMAdminBundle\Exporter\DataSource;
use Sonata\Exporter\Source\DoctrineORMQuerySourceIterator;
use Sonata\Exporter\Source\SourceIteratorInterface;

class DecoratingDataSource implements DataSourceInterface
{
    private DataSource $dataSource;

    public function __construct(DataSource $dataSource)
    {
        $this->dataSource = $dataSource;
    }

    public function createIterator(ProxyQueryInterface $query, array $fields): SourceIteratorInterface
    {
        /** @var DoctrineORMQuerySourceIterator $iterator */
        $iterator = $this->dataSource->createIterator($query, $fields);

        $iterator->setDateTimeFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s');

        return $iterator;
    }
}

Add the your service in the config/services.yaml definition.:

services:
    ...
    App\Service\Admin\DecoratingDataSource:
        decorates: 'sonata.admin.data_source.orm'
