Chapter 2. Your First Backend

Creating your first backend will take you around 30 seconds, because you just have to create a simple configuration file.

Let's suppose that you already have defined in your Symfony application three Doctrine ORM entities called Customer, Order and Product. Open your main application configuration file (usually app/config/config.yml) and add the following configuration:

# app/config/config.yml
easy_admin:
    entities:
        - AppBundle\Entity\Customer
        - AppBundle\Entity\Order
        - AppBundle\Entity\Product

Congratulations! You've just created your first fully-featured backend! Browse the /admin URL in your Symfony application and you'll get access to the admin backend:

Default listing interface

Creating a backend is that simple because EasyAdmin doesn't generate any code, not even for the templates. All resources are served on-the-fly to ensure an exceptional developer experience.

Without any further configuration, EasyAdmin guesses the best settings to make your admin backend look "good enough". This may be acceptable for simple backends and rapid prototypes, but most of the times, you need to customize some parts of the backend. Keep reading to learn how to do it.
