Doctrine Tools for Symfony

Various tools and helpers for using Doctrine ORM in larger Symfony projects.

Installation

composer require headsnet/doctrine-tools-bundle

If your Symfony installation does not auto-register bundles, add it manually:

// bundles.php
return [
    ...
    Headsnet\DoctrineToolsBundle\HeadsnetDoctrineToolsBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Features

• Dynamically Create Types For Standard Objects
• Auto-Register Custom Doctrine Type Mappings
• Auto-Register Carbon Doctrine Type Mappings

Dynamically Create Types For Standard Objects

Applying the #[DoctrineType] attribute to a class will generate a Doctrine mapping type for the object and register it in the application. To configure this behaviour, you must specify where to look for the classes to auto-register.

headsnet_doctrine_tools:
  root_namespace: Headsnet\DoctrineToolsBundle
  custom_types:
    scan_dirs:
      - 'src/' # the default value

Currently the bundle supports the following standard types:

• string via AbstractStringMappingType
• integer via AbstractIntegerMappingType
• uuid via AbstractUuidMappingType

For example, we have a string backed value object:

namespace App\Domain\Model;

use Headsnet\DoctrineToolsBundle\Attribute\DoctrineType;

#[DoctrineType(name: 'person_name', type: 'string')]
class PersonName
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly string $value
    ) {
    }

    public static function create(string $value): self
    {
        return new self($value);
    }

    public function asString(): string
    {
        return $this->value;
    }
}

This will cause a PHP file to be generated that provides the Doctrine Mapping Type for the class - something like:

class PersonNameType extends \Headsnet\DoctrineToolsBundle\Types\StandardTypes\AbstractStringMappingType {
    public function getName(): string
    {
        return 'person_name';
    }

    public function getClass(): string
    {
        return 'App\Domain\Model\PersonName';
    }
}

This file is created in src/_generated/ - you will want to add this directory to your .gitignore file.

Auto-Register Custom Doctrine Type Mappings

The bundle can auto-register custom Doctrine DBAL types, eliminating the need to specify them all in config/packages/doctrine.yaml:

Define the directories to scan for Doctrine types:

headsnet_doctrine_tools:
  custom_mappings:
    scan_dirs:
      - 'src/Infra/Persistence/DBAL/Types'

Then add the #[DoctrineTypeMapping] attribute to the custom type class:

use Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type;
use Headsnet\DoctrineToolsBundle\Attribute\DoctrineMappingType;

#[DoctrineTypeMapping]
final class ReservationIdType extends Type
{
    // defines "reservation_id" type
}

This will register a custom type based on the class name - in this case the custom column type will be called reservation_id.

To customise the type name, specify it in the #[DoctrineTypeMapping] attribute. The following will register a type called my_reservation_id.

#[DoctrineTypeMapping(name: 'my_reservation_id')]
final class ReservationIdType extends Type
{
    // customised name "my_reservation_id" type
}

Auto-Register Carbon datetime type mappings

If the nesbot/carbon package is installed, this package will automatically register the Doctrine types provided by Carbon.

By default, it will overwrite the default Doctrine types for datetime and datetime_immutable with the Carbon equivalents:

datetime_immutable: \Carbon\Doctrine\DateTimeImmutableType
datetime: \Carbon\Doctrine\DateTimeType

If you wish the Carbon types to operate alongside the default DateTime and DateTimeImmutable types, set replace: false in the bundle configuration. This will result in additional types being defined for the Carbon columns.

carbon_immutable: \Carbon\Doctrine\DateTimeImmutableType
carbon: \Carbon\Doctrine\DateTimeType

If you wish to completely disable this behaviour, set enabled: false in the bundle configuration.

headsnet_doctrine_tools:
  carbon_mappings:
    enabled: true
    replace: true
