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.
