Easy admin list modification

Question

I don't get this guys!

At this moment I still have only one entity (User). I manage my users with the FOSUserBundle.

I want to modify the fields displayed in my list. Like this right?

config.yml

easy_admin:
    entities:
        Users:
            class: AppBundle\Entity\User
            list:
                fields:
                    - username
                    - email
                    - last_login

But I get this error when trying to do it;

An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Warning: mb_strlen() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given") in @EasyAdmin/default/field_text.html.twig at line 4.

I've added a __toString() method in my User entity but it still doesn't work;

User.php

public function __toString()
{
    return $this->getUsername();
}

I am pretty new to the whole Symfony thing, so can somebody please help me out?

This issue is fixed and will probably be available with the next stable release.

In the meantime you can fix this by manually copy paste this 5 lines into EasyAdminTwigExtention.php at line 269.

try {
     $value = (string) $value;
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
         $value = '';
    }

Look here for the same question I asked on Git. And here where the code is modified.
