Instructions

  1. Create src/PrestaShopBundle/Resources/config/routing/admin/{domain}.yml.
  2. For each action in the controller (listing + form actions), declare a route. Always include _legacy_controller (permanent — see below). While the page is under migration, also include _legacy_feature_flag so requests are dispatched to the new or legacy controller depending on the flag state: 
    admin_{domain}s_index:
  path: /{domain}s
  methods: [GET]
  defaults:
    _controller: 'PrestaShopBundle:Admin/{Section}/{Domain}:index'
    _legacy_controller: Admin{Domain}s
    _legacy_feature_flag: {domain}
  3. Include routes: index (GET), create (GET+POST), edit (GET+POST with {id} parameter), delete (POST with {id}), toggle status (POST+JSON), bulk delete/enable/disable (POST).
  4. Import this file from the main admin routing file.
  5. CRITICAL: _legacy_feature_flag value must exactly match the name of the feature flag in feature_flag.xml.
  6. Verify with php bin/console debug:router | grep {domain}.

_legacy_controller is permanent

Keep _legacy_controller on every route — it stays for the lifetime of the page, even after full migration. Two consumers depend on it:

  • Permission checks: admin permission rules are keyed by the legacy controller name. Action security expressions like is_granted('read', request.get('_legacy_controller')) rely on this attribute being present
  • Automatic legacy link conversion: third-party modules and old code paths still call Link::getAdminLink('Admin{Domain}s'); the routing layer uses _legacy_controller to resolve those calls to the Symfony route

Removing _legacy_controller after release would silently break permissions and any legacy Link::getAdminLink() callers — never strip it.

_legacy_feature_flag is migration-only

_legacy_feature_flag, in contrast, only exists while the new page coexists with the legacy one. Once the feature flag has been promoted to stable (GA) and the legacy controller is no longer used as a fallback, remove _legacy_feature_flag from the route — but keep _legacy_controller. Routes for fully-released pages have _legacy_controller and no _legacy_feature_flag.

This skill scaffolds routes for pages currently under migration. For routes added or refactored on already-released pages, omit _legacy_feature_flag and keep _legacy_controller.

Rules

Conventions (atomic commit, case-sensitive flag matching, toggle returning JSON, _legacy_controller permanence, post-release flag removal) are in Controller/CONTEXT.md. Skill-specific reminders:

  • Edit and delete routes must include {id} path parameter
  • Toggle status route must allow POST method
  • Never strip _legacy_controller — it remains required for permissions and legacy link conversion long after migration is over
