Toggle checkbox can be created via DataProvider as well. DataProvider (PHP) and UI Component (XML) files are two ways to generate the same configuration to render the elements.

Therefore you can create any kind of elements in both ways. Just need to make sure your code use the correct format and don't miss the required config.

In your case, you can try to move the config for toggle checkbox from XML file to your meta array in your DataProvider with the same key/values.

  • Hi @Daniel, I have searched a lot and find out toggle option can be created only by uicomponent but If you could give an example of how to add toggle checkbox by creating php function and adding it as a child in modifyMeta() I will accept your answer. – Ajwad Syed May 1 '19 at 9:33
  • Hi @Ajwad, You can refer to the product form, looking at the status attribute. Class: \Magento\Catalog\Ui\DataProvider\Product\Form\Modifier\General Function: customizeStatusField It's an example of the toggle checkbox. – Daniel Truong May 1 '19 at 9:57
  • Yes, what is the argument here $meta = $this->customizeStatusField($meta) ? – Ajwad Syed May 1 '19 at 10:08
  • @Ạjwad It's just an array store your meta information. If you are using the modifier, your modifyMeta function should have an $meta as an argument already. – Daniel Truong May 1 '19 at 10:12
  • what is the meaning of this error..getting it after properly adding that toggle function into my dataprovider: Exception #0 (Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException): The "componentType" configuration parameter is required for the "toggle" component. – Ajwad Syed May 1 '19 at 10:45
