The following options can be used in the configuration file.
Namespaces of generated PHP classes can be set globally, respectively for entities, enumerations and interfaces (if used with Doctrine Resolve Target Entity Listener option).
Example:
namespaces:
entity: "Dunglas\EcommerceBundle\Entity"
enum: "Dunglas\EcommerceBundle\Enum"
interface: "Dunglas\EcommerceBundle\Model"
Namespaces can also be specified for a specific type. It will take precedence over any globally configured namespace.
Example:
types:
Thing:
namespaces:
class: "Dunglas\CoreBundle\Entity" # Namespace for the Thing entity (works for enumerations too)
interface: "Schema\Model" # Namespace of the related interface
Schema.org allows a property to have several types. However, the generator allows only one type by property. If not configured,
it will use the first defined type.
The range
option is useful to set the type of a given property. It can also be used to force a type (even if not in the
Schema.org definition).
Example:
types:
Brand:
properties:
logo: { range: "ImageObject" } # Force the range of the logo propery to ImageObject (can also be URL according to Schema.org)
PostalAddress:
properties:
addressCountry: { range: "Text" } # Force the type to Text instead of Country
The cardinality of a property is automatically guessed. The cardinality
option allows to override the guessed value.
Supported cardinalities are:
(0..1)
: scalar, not required(0..*)
: array, not required(1..1)
: scalar, required(1..*)
: array, required
Cardinalities are enforced by the class generator, the Doctrine ORM generator and the Symfony validation generator.
Example:
types:
Product:
properties:
sku:
cardinality: "(0..1)"
The relation table name between two entities is automatically guessed by Doctrine. The relationTableName
option allows
to override the default value.
This is useful when you need two entities to have more than one relation.
Example:
Organization:
properties:
contactPoint: { range: Person, relationTableName: organization_contactPoint }
member: { range: Person, cardinality: (1..*) } ## Will be default value : organization_person
Override the guessed class hierarchy of a given type with this option.
Example:
ImageObject:
parent: Thing # Force the parent to be Thing instead of CreativeWork > MediaObject
properties: ~
Drug:
parent: false # No parent
Force a class to be abstract
(or to be not).
Example:
Person:
abstract: true
Force a property to be nullable
(or to be not).
By default this option is true
Example:
Person:
properties:
name: { nullable: false }
The @Assert\NotNull
constrain is automatically added
<?php
/**
* @var string The name of the item.
*
* @ORM\Column
* @Assert\Type(type="string")
* @Assert\NotNull
*/
private $name;
Force a property to be unique
(or to be not).
By default this option is false
Example:
Person:
properties:
email: { unique: true }
Output:
<?php
...
use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Validator\Constraints\UniqueEntity;
/**
* A person (alive, dead, undead, or fictional).
*
* @see http://schema.org/Person Documentation on Schema.org
*
* @ORM\Entity
* @UniqueEntity("email")
* @Iri("http://schema.org/Person")
*/
class Person
{
/**
* @var string Email address.
*
* @ORM\Column
* @Assert\Email
*/
private $email;
Force a property to be in a groups
.
Enabling the SerializerGroupsAnnotationGenerator
generator:
annotationGenerators:
- ApiPlatform\SchemaGenerator\AnnotationGenerator\SerializerGroupsAnnotationGenerator
...
This option expects an array of scalar value { groups: [ groups1, group2, ... ] }
Example:
Person:
properties:
name: { groups: [ public ] }
Output:
<?php
...
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Annotation\Groups;
/**
* A person (alive, dead, undead, or fictional).
*
* @see http://schema.org/Person Documentation on Schema.org
*
* @ORM\Entity
* @Iri("http://schema.org/Person")
*/
class Person
{
/**
* @var string The name of the item.
*
* @ORM\Column(nullable=true)
* @Assert\Type(type="string")
* @Iri("https://schema.org/name")
* @Groups({"public"})
*/
private $name;
Force an embeddable
class to be embedded
.
Example:
GeoCoordinates:
embeddable: true
Place:
coordinates: { range: "GeoCoordinates", embedded: true, columnPrefix: false }
Add a @author
PHPDoc annotation to class' DocBlock.
Example:
author: "Kévin Dunglas <[email protected]>"
By default, all generators except DunglasJsonLdApi
(API Platform v1) and SerializerGroups
are enabled.
You can specify the list of generators to use with the generators
option.
Example (enabling only the PHPDoc generator):
annotationGenerators:
- ApiPlatform\SchemaGenerator\AnnotationGenerator\PhpDocAnnotationGenerator
You can write your generators by implementing the AnnotationGeneratorInterface
.
The AbstractAnnotationGenerator
provides helper methods
useful when creating your own generators.
Enabling a custom generator and the PHPDoc generator:
annotationGenerators:
- ApiPlatform\SchemaGenerator\AnnotationGenerator\PhpDocAnnotationGenerator
- Acme\Generators\MyGenerator
By default, the generator add a property called id
not provided by Schema.org. This useful when using generated entity
with an ORM or an ODM.
This behavior can be disabled with the following setting:
generateId: false
By default, the generator use classes provided by the Doctrine Collections library to store collections of entities. This is useful (and required) when using Doctrine ORM or Doctrine ODM. This behavior can be disabled (to fallback to standard arrays) with the following setting:
doctrine:
useCollection: false
Generated fields have a private
visibility and are exposed through getters and setters.
The default visibility can be changed with the fieldVisibility
otion.
Example:
fieldVisibility: "protected"
The standard behavior of the generator is to use the @MappedSuperclass
Doctrine annotation for classes with children and
@Entity
for classes with no child.
The inheritance annotation can be forced for a given type like the following:
types:
Product:
doctrine:
inheritanceMapping: "@MappedSuperclass"
This setting is only relevant when using the Doctrine ORM generator.
ResolveTargetEntityListener
is a feature of Doctrine to keep modules independent. It allows to specify interfaces and abstract
classes in relation
mappings.
If you set the option useInterface
to true, the generator will generate an interface corresponding to each generated
entity and will use them in relation mappings.
To let PHP Schema generating the XML mapping file usable with Symfony add the following to your config file:
doctrine:
resolveTargetEntityConfigPath: path/to/doctrine.xml
The generator can use your own schema definitions. They must be wrote in RDFa and follow the format of the Schema.org's definition. This is useful to document your Schema.org extensions and use them to generate the PHP data model of your application.
Example:
rdfa:
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rvguha/schemaorg/master/data/schema.rdfa # Experimental version of Schema.org
- http://example.com/data/myschema.rfa # Additional types
You can also use any other vocabulary. Check the Linked Open Vocabularies to find one fitting your needs.
For instance, to generate a data model from the Video Game Ontology, use the following config file:
rdfa:
- http://vocab.linkeddata.es/vgo/GameOntologyv3.owl # The URL of the vocabulary definition
types:
Session:
vocabularyNamespace: http://purl.org/net/VideoGameOntology#
# ...
If the checkIsGoodRelations
option is set to true
, the generator will emit a warning if an encountered property is not
par of the GoodRelations schema.
This is useful when generating e-commerce data model.
Prepend all generated PHP files with a custom comment.
Example:
header: |
/*
* This file is part of the Ecommerce package.
*
* (c) Kévin Dunglas <[email protected]>
*
* For the full copyright and license information, please view the LICENSE
* file that was distributed with this source code.
