Control-Sidebar

The control sidebar on the right-hand screen will slide-in over the content area. It can contain up to 5 tabs, all of them will display an icon in the tab header.

It can be configured with the package config admin_lte.yaml at the node:

admin_lte:
    control_sidebar:

The control_sidebar key is an array, where each key represents a tab. It must contain an combination of two keys:

• either icon and template
• or icon and controller

Both variants can be mixed through the tabs, so this would be a valid configuration:

admin_lte:
    control_sidebar:
        home:
            icon: fas fa-home
            template: control-sidebar/home.html.twig
        settings:
            icon: fas fa-cogs
            controller: 'App\Controller\DefaultController::controlSidebarSettings'

The first tab home will use the FontAwesome icon home and render the content from the template located at templates/control-sidebar/home.html.twig.

The second tab settings will use the FontAwesome icon cogs and render the content from the result of the call to the DefaultController and its action controlSidebarSettings().

Using controller actions

A simple example for the above configuration could look like this:

namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

class DefaultController extends AbstractController
{
    public function controlSidebarSettings(Request $originalRequest) 
    {
        return $this->render('control-sidebar/settings.html.twig', []);
    }
}

Note that you can get the original request passed in with the variable $originalRequest (which is optional). This might be useful if you want to access the original requested route or request parameter.
