Overview
--------

[](#overview)

SonataInlineRelationBundle adds inline editing of complex associations (OneToMany / ManyToMany with pivot entities) directly in Sonata Admin list views. Instead of navigating to a separate edit page, administrators click a pencil icon to open a popover panel anchored to the trigger cell where they can edit pivot fields, reorder entries via drag-and-drop, add new relations with a searchable dropdown, and remove existing ones -- all persisted instantly via AJAX.

  **Category relations with drag-and-drop, radio & checkbox** **Tag relations with number, text & select fields**   [![Inline category editing with hierarchical search, drag-and-drop sorting, radio and checkbox pivot fields](docs/screenshot-categories.png)](docs/screenshot-categories.png) [![Inline tag editing with number, text and select pivot fields](docs/screenshot-tags.png)](docs/screenshot-tags.png) **Try it yourself:** Run the [example app](example/) with a single `docker compose up -d` — no existing project required.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Display pivot-entity collections as a compact column in any Sonata Admin list view
- Edit pivot fields inline: checkbox, radio, text, number, and select controls
- Radio fields enforce exclusivity automatically (only one entry can be `true` at a time)
- Drag-and-drop reordering with automatic position persistence
- Add new relations through a Select2 search dropdown (with configurable filters)
- Remove existing relations with a Sonata-style confirmation dialog
- Configurable default values for new pivot entries
- Nullable `relation_field` for direct entity mapping (without a related entity)
- Custom search query builder support for complex search scenarios
- Bundle-level default configuration with per-field overrides
- Symfony Event Dispatcher integration for all write operations
- Full internationalization with EN and DE translations out of the box
- CSRF protection, IDOR prevention, XHR-only enforcement, and Sonata Admin access checks
- Real-time list cell updates without page reload
- No external JavaScript dependencies beyond jQuery and Select2 (both included in Sonata Admin)
