I am developing a custom module for Magento 2.2.x which should allow users to associate products to custom entity.

What I would like to do is to show a product grid in the edit form of the custom entity where users can search and select which products associate the custom entity.

I already created the form with uicomponent, this is the layout XML (customentity_entity_edit.xml)

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="admin-1column"
      xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="page.main.actions">
            <block class="Magento\Backend\Block\Store\Switcher" name="customentity_entity_look.store.switcher" template="Magento_Backend::store/switcher.phtml" >
                <action method="setUseConfirm">
                    <argument name="params" xsi:type="string">1</argument>
                </action>
            </block>
        </referenceContainer>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <uiComponent name="customentity_entity_look_form"/>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

This is the xml of the form (customentity_entity_look_form.xml)

<form xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Ui:etc/ui_configuration.xsd">
    ...
    <fieldset name="main_fieldset">

    <fieldset name="assign_products">
        <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">

                <item name="sortOrder" xsi:type="number">40</item>
            </item>
        </argument>
        <container name="assign_products_container" >
            <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="sortOrder" xsi:type="number">60</item>
                </item>
            </argument>
            <htmlContent name="html_content">
                <argument name="block" xsi:type="object">\Vendor\Module\Block\To\Show\Product\Grid</argument>
            </htmlContent>
        </container>
    </fieldset>
</form>

I don't know how to implement the block which should render the product grid (\Vendor\Module\Block\To\Show\Product\Grid)

I tried to follow this Magento 2 : How to add a product grid in custom module using ui component? but it throws several errors at runtime and it uses deprecated core classes.

Is there a standard way to show this control in a form of a custom module?

You can make innergrid with also ui-component using innserlisting

 <insertListing>
        <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="autoRender" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
                <item name="ns" xsi:type="string">make_custom_listing</item>
            </item>
        </argument>
    </insertListing>

  • thank you for pointing me in a direction. however I am not able to fetch the product for the listing. Is there any good example/tutorial I can follow? – gianis6 Aug 28 '18 at 14:28
  • just replace innerlisting code with <htmlContent name="html_content"> <argument name="block" xsi:type="object">\Vendor\Module\Block\To\Show\Product\Grid</argument> </htmlContent> code – Rutvee Sojitra Aug 29 '18 at 3:53
  • And make another grid for product listing – Rutvee Sojitra Aug 29 '18 at 3:53
  • ok, but how do I fetch the products? – gianis6 Aug 29 '18 at 7:18
  • In that product listing you can define datasource and using that datasource you use model,resourcemodel and grid-collection Here is the example of how to create admin grid mageplaza.com/magento-2-module-development/… – Rutvee Sojitra Aug 29 '18 at 7:43
