Provides integration for DoctrineExtensions_ for your Symfony2 Project.
Features
========
This bundle allows to easily use DoctrineExtensions_ in your Symfony2
project by configuring it through a ``ListenerManager`` and the DIC.
DoctrineExtensions's features
-----------------------------
- **Tree** - this extension automates the tree handling process and adds some tree specific functions on repository. (**closure**, **nestedset** or **materialized path**)
- **Translatable** - gives you a very handy solution for translating records into diferent languages. Easy to setup, easier to use.
- **Sluggable** - urlizes your specified fields into single unique slug
- **Timestampable** - updates date fields on create, update and even property change.
- **Blameable** - updates string or assocation fields on create, update and even property change with a user name resp. reference.
- **Loggable** - helps tracking changes and history of objects, also supports version managment.
- **Sortable** - makes any document or entity sortable
- **Translator** - explicit way to handle translations
- **Softdeleteable** - allows to implicitly remove records
- **Uploadable** - provides file upload handling in entity fields
- **Reference Integrity** - provides reference integrity for MongoDB, supports 'nullify' and 'restrict'
All these extensions can be nested together. And most already use only
annotations without interface requirement to not to aggregate the
entity itself and has implemented proper caching for metadata.
See the official blog_ for more details.
Warning
=======
As the DoctrineExtensions library does not provide an XML driver, you
have to use either annotations or YAML for your mapping.
Setting a ``DriverChain`` implementation to load only the gedmo mapping
from annotations or YAML and the standard mapping from XML would require
hacking the way the ORM is configured by DoctrineBundle so it will never
be done in the bundle.
Installation
============
Add stof/doctrine-extensions-bundle to composer.json
-----------------------------
::
"require": {
"php": ">=5.3.2",
"symfony/symfony": "~2.1",
"_comment": "your other packages",
"stof/doctrine-extensions-bundle": "~1.1@dev",
}
Add DoctrineExtensionsBundle to your application kernel
-------------------------------------------------------
::
// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
return array(
// ...
new Stof\DoctrineExtensionsBundle\StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle(),
// ...
);
}
Add the extensions to your mapping
----------------------------------
Some of the extensions uses their own entities to do their work. You need
to register their mapping in Doctrine when you want to use them.
::
# app/config/config.yml
doctrine:
orm:
entity_managers:
default:
mappings:
gedmo_translatable:
type: annotation
prefix: Gedmo\Translatable\Entity
dir: "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/gedmo/doctrine-extensions/lib/Gedmo/Translatable/Entity"
alias: GedmoTranslatable # this one is optional and will default to the name set for the mapping
is_bundle: false
gedmo_translator:
type: annotation
prefix: Gedmo\Translator\Entity
dir: "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/gedmo/doctrine-extensions/lib/Gedmo/Translator/Entity"
alias: GedmoTranslator # this one is optional and will default to the name set for the mapping
is_bundle: false
gedmo_loggable:
type: annotation
prefix: Gedmo\Loggable\Entity
dir: "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/gedmo/doctrine-extensions/lib/Gedmo/Loggable/Entity"
alias: GedmoLoggable # this one is optional and will default to the name set for the mapping
is_bundle: false
gedmo_tree:
type: annotation
prefix: Gedmo\Tree\Entity
dir: "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/gedmo/doctrine-extensions/lib/Gedmo/Tree/Entity"
alias: GedmoTree # this one is optional and will default to the name set for the mapping
is_bundle: false
.. note::
If you are using the short syntax for the ORM configuration, the `mappings`
key is directly under `orm:`
.. note::
If you are using several entity managers, take care to register the entities
for the right ones.
.. note::
The mapping for MongoDB is similar. The ODM documents are in the `Document`
subnamespace of each extension instead of `Entity`.
Enable the softdeleteable filter
--------------------------------
If you want to use the SoftDeleteable behavior, you have to enable the
doctrine filter.
::
# app/config/config.yml
doctrine:
orm:
entity_managers:
default:
filters:
softdeleteable:
class: Gedmo\SoftDeleteable\Filter\SoftDeleteableFilter
enabled: true
.. note::
If you are using the short syntax for the ORM configuration, the `filters`
key is directly under `orm:`
.. note::
If you are using several entity managers, take care to register the filter
for the right ones.
To disable the behaviour, e.g. for admin users who may see deleted items,
disable the filter. Here is an example::
$filters = $em->getFilters();
$filters->disable('softdeleteable');
Using Uploadable extension
--------------------------
If you want to use the Uploadable extension, first read the documentation in DoctrineExtensions. Once everything is
ready, use the form component as usual. Then, after you verify the form is valid, do the following::
$document = new Document();
$form = $this->createFormBuilder($document)
->add('name')
->add('myFile')
->getForm()
;
if ($this->getRequest()->getMethod() === 'POST') {
$form->bindRequest($this->getRequest());
if ($form->isValid()) {
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
$em->persist($document);
$uploadableManager = $this->get('stof_doctrine_extensions.uploadable.manager');
// Here, "getMyFile" returns the "UploadedFile" instance that the form bound in your $myFile property
$uploadableManager->markEntityToUpload($document, $document->getMyFile());
$em->flush();
$this->redirect($this->generateUrl(...));
}
}
return array('form' => $form->createView());
And that's it. The Uploadable extension handles the rest of the stuff. Remember to read its documentation!
Configure the bundle
====================
You have to activate the extensions for each entity manager for which
you want to enable the extensions. The id is the id of the DBAL
connection when using the ORM behaviors. It is the id of the document
manager when using mongoDB.
This bundle needs a default locale used if the translation does not
exists in the asked language. If you don't provide it explicitly, it
will default to ``en``.
in YAML::
# app/config/config.yml
stof_doctrine_extensions:
default_locale: en_US
# Only used if you activated the Uploadable extension
uploadable:
# Default file path: This is one of the three ways you can configure the path for the Uploadable extension
default_file_path: %kernel.root_dir%/../web/uploads
# Mime type guesser class: Optional. By default, we provide an adapter for the one present in the HttpFoundation component of Symfony
mime_type_guesser_class: Stof\DoctrineExtensionsBundle\Uploadable\MimeTypeGuesserAdapter
# Default file info class implementing FileInfoInterface: Optional. By default we provide a class which is prepared to receive an UploadedFile instance.
default_file_info_class: Stof\DoctrineExtensionsBundle\Uploadable\UploadedFileInfo
orm:
default: ~
mongodb:
default: ~
or in XML::
Activate the extensions you want
================================
By default the bundle does not attach any listener.
For each of your entity manager, declare the extensions you want to enable::
# app/config/config.yml
stof_doctrine_extensions:
default_locale: en_US
orm:
default:
tree: true
timestampable: false # not needed: listeners are not enabled by default
other:
timestampable: true
or in XML::
Same is available for MongoDB using ``document-manager`` in the XML
files instead of ``entity-manager``.
.. caution::
If you configure the listeners of an entity manager in several
config file the last one will be used. So you have to list all the
listeners you want to detach.
Use the DoctrineExtensions library
==================================
All explanations about this library are available on the official blog_
Advanced use
============
Overriding the listeners
------------------------
You can change the listeners used by extending the Gedmo listeners (or
the listeners of the bundle for translations) and giving the class name
in the configuration.
in YAML::
# app/config/config.yml
stof_doctrine_extensions:
class:
tree: MyBundle\TreeListener
timestampable: MyBundle\TimestampableListener
blameable: ~
sluggable: ~
translatable: ~
loggable: ~
softdeleteable: ~
uploadable: ~
or in XML::
