Setup ready to use CodeIgniter framework with:
- CodeIgniter 2.2
- Modular Extensions - HMVC
- Doctrine 2.0
- DoctrineExtensions (partial support)
Set up application/config/config.php and application/config/database.php for your network.
Load Doctrine library adding it on autoload.php, example:
$autoload['libraries'] = array('doctrine');
Or load Doctrine library in any controller, example:
$this->load->library('doctrine');
This setup uses docblock annotations mapping driver and models namespace, you can change it in application/libraries/Doctrine.php.
Example of root model (not in a module), it should be inside application/models:
namespace models;
/**
* @Entity
* @Table(name="users")
*/
class User {
/**
* @Id
* @Column(type="integer")
* @GeneratedValue
*/
private $id;
/**
* @Column(type="string", length=32, nullable=false)
*/
private $username;
// ...
}
Example of model in a module, it should be inside application/[module_name]/models. Note the difference in namespace:
// Prototype:
// namespace [module_name]\models;
// Example:
namespace auth\models;
class User {
/**
* @Id
* @Column(type="integer")
* @GeneratedValue
*/
private $id;
/**
* @Column(type="string", length=32, nullable=false)
*/
private $username;
// ...
}
To generate automatically schemas for your models you can use the Doctrine console or the schema tool from library:
$this->doctrine->tool->createSchema('auth\models\User');
Other useful methods:
$this->doctrine->tool->dropSchema('auth\models\User');
$this->doctrine->tool->updateSchema('auth\models\User');
Loading from controllers it's easy, example:
$user = new auth\models\User;
// ...
$this->doctrine->em->persist($user);
You can also shorten the instantiation with the use operator (before class definition):
use auth\models\User;
class Test extends CI_Controller {
// ...
public function index()
{
$user = new User;
// ...
}
}
Doctrine console can be used in terminal from application/third_party/doctrine-orm/bin/doctrine, examples:
php doctrine list
php doctrine orm:schema-tool:create
php doctrine orm:schema-tool:update
php doctrine orm:schema-tool:drop
