Installation

Step 1: Download the Bundle

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:, _(*2)

$ composer require fvchs/sonata-ajax-block-bundle

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation., _(*3)

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the app/AppKernel.php file of your project:, _(*4)

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...

            new Fvchs\SonataAjaxBlockBundle\FvchsSonataAjaxBlockBundle(),
        );

        // ...
    }

    // ...
}

Configuration

• Replace the sonata.block.renderer to enable ajax loading, _(*5)

  # app/config/sonata_block.yml
  
  services:
      sonata.block.renderer: '@fvchs.sonata_ajax_block.renderer'

• Add this to your routing configuration, _(*6)

  #  app/config/routing.yml
  
  fvchs_sonata_ajax_block:
      resource: "@FvchsSonataAjaxBlockBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
      prefix:   /

• Mark Blocks with the ajax attribute, _(*7)

  # app/config/sonata_admin.yml
  
  sonata_admin:
      dashboard:
          blocks:
              - { type: my.block.one, settings: { attr: [ajax: true] } }
              - { type: my.block.two }

  The first block in this example will be lazy loaded via ajax. The second block will stay static., _(*8)
