feature Support association path filters with automatic joins

[makraz]

• Implement association-aware JOIN creation for filters when using dotted relationship.property paths.
• Update Boolean, Null, Choice, Comparison, Array, and Entity filters to apply conditions on joined aliases while preserving behavior for non-association properties.
• Ensure collection-valued associations and NULL/NOT NULL comparisons handle joins consistently across filters.

Oh just saw this... do you know if that fixes #7298 by chance?
From looking at the code I'd say it probably has the same issue with embeds still but not sure

I think yes, I create a demo here: https://github.com/makraz/easyadmin-association-filter

ah I looked at the example, you'd need to configure the book to search on the author's address to test that bug.

Like ->setSearchFields(['author.address.street']); in the book controller

i created a new PR #7300 to add the embeddable properties support for associations

@makraz Just FYI:
This doesn't seem to work with the entity filter.
I patched the PR to our Backend and tried adding an Entity filter on a nested filter: EntityFiler::new('foo.bar')->autocomplete() where both foo and bar are associations.

It'll throw An error has occurred resolving the options of the form "Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\Type\EntityType": The required option "class" is missing. when you open the filter modal

Edit: looks like it's not running the EntityConfigurator since it's jumping out here:

        if (!$entityDto->getClassMetadata()->hasAssociation($propertyName)) {
            return;
        }

If you set the class yourself

                    ->setFormTypeOption('value_type_options.class', Bar::class)

it works-ish but doesn't run the configurator
