Question 1

CraueConfigBundle vs Symfony parameters: which one should I use?

Accepted Answer

Use CraueConfigBundle when you need settings editable at runtime via an admin interface, as it stores values in a database. Symfony parameters are better for static configuration that doesn't change without code deployment, like environment-specific settings.

Question 2

How do I set up caching for CraueConfigBundle to reduce database queries?

Accepted Answer

Configure caching by choosing DoctrineCacheBundle or Symfony Cache, setting the cache adapter parameter, and defining a cache provider service. This caches setting values, but you must clear the cache manually after database changes, as noted in the README.

Question 3

Can I extend the Setting entity in CraueConfigBundle to add extra fields?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by creating a custom entity that extends BaseSetting and mapping additional fields like comments. You then update the bundle configuration to use this entity, allowing for specialized data storage and form rendering.

Question 4

Is CraueConfigBundle compatible with Symfony 5 or 6?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the bundle is maintained and works with modern Symfony versions, as indicated by active testing badges and Composer support. However, always check the latest documentation for version-specific requirements or deprecations.

Question 5

How to secure the admin form in CraueConfigBundle?

Accepted Answer

Control access via Symfony's security configuration by restricting the form route—for example, adding firewall rules or role-based permissions to the /settings/modify path, since the bundle doesn't enforce built-in security beyond routing.

Question 6

What's the best way to create new settings in CraueConfigBundle?

Accepted Answer

Add settings directly to the database table using Doctrine migrations, as the bundle doesn't provide runtime creation. Ensure each setting is defined before use in code to avoid exceptions when accessing them via the Config service.
