This php 5.4+ library is a collection of traits that add behaviors to Doctrine2 entites and repositories.
It currently handles:
Some behaviors (translatable, timestampable, softDeletable, blameable, geocodable) need Doctrine listeners in order to work. Make sure to activate them by reading the Listeners section.
Traits are based on annotation driver.
You need to declare use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM; on top of your entity.
All you have to do is to define a Doctrine2 entity and use traits:
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Knp\DoctrineBehaviors\ORM as ORMBehaviors;
/**
* @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="CategoryRepository")
*/
class Category implements ORMBehaviors\Tree\NodeInterface, \ArrayAccess
{
use ORMBehaviors\Tree\Node,
ORMBehaviors\Translatable\Translatable,
ORMBehaviors\Timestampable\Timestampable,
ORMBehaviors\SoftDeletable\SoftDeletable,
ORMBehaviors\Blameable\Blameable,
ORMBehaviors\Geocodable\Geocodable
;
/**
* @ORM\Id
* @ORM\Column(type="integer")
* @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="NONE")
*/
protected $id;
}For some behaviors like tree, you can use repository traits:
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;
use Knp\DoctrineBehaviors\ORM as ORMBehaviors;
class CategoryRepository extends EntityRepository
{
use ORMBehaviors\Tree\Tree,
}Voila!
You now have a working Category that behaves like:
<?php
$category = new Category;
$category->setId(1); // tree nodes need an id to construct path.
$child = new Category;
$child->setId(2);
$child->setChildOf($category);
$em->persist($child);
$em->persist($category);
$em->flush();
$root = $em->getRepository('Category')->getTree();
$root->getParent(); // null
$root->getNodeChildren(); // collection
$root[0][1]; // node or null
$root->isLeaf(); // boolean
$root->isRoot(); // booleanTranslatable behavior waits for a CategoryTranslation entity.
This naming convention avoids you to handle manually entity associations. It is handled automatically by the TranslationListener.
In order to use Translatable trait, you will have to create this entity.
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Knp\DoctrineBehaviors as DoctrineBehaviors;
/**
* @ORM\Entity
*/
class CategoryTranslation
{
use DoctrineBehaviors\Translatable\Translation;
/**
* @ORM\Column(type="string", length=255)
*/
protected $name;
/**
* @return string
*/
public function getName()
{
return $this->name;
}
/**
* @param string
* @return null
*/
public function setName($name)
{
$this->name = $name;
}
}Now you can work on translations using translate or getTranslations methods.
<?php
$category = new Category;
$category->translate('fr')->setName('Chaussures');
$category->translate('en')->setName('Shoes');
$em->persist($category);
$category->translate('en')->getName();You can configure the way the listener guesses the current locale, by giving a callable as its first argument.
This library provides a callable object (Knp\DoctrineBehaviors\ORM\Translatable\CurrentLocaleCallable) that returns the current locale using Symfony2.
An extra feature allows you to proxy translated fields of a translatable entity.
You can use it in the magic __call method of you translatable entity
so that when you try to call getName (for example) it will return you the translated value of the name for current locale:
<?php
public function __call($method, $arguments)
{
return $this->proxyCurrentLocaleTranslation($method, $arguments);
}<?php
$category = new Category;
$em->persist($category);
$em->flush();
// get id
$id = $em->getId();
// now remove it
$em->remove($category);
// hey, i'm still here:
$category = $em->getRepository('Category')->findOneById($id);
// but i'm "deleted"
$category->isDeleted(); // === trueBlameable is able to track creators and updators of a given entity. A blameable callable is used to get the current user from your application.
In the case you are using a Doctrine Entity to represent your users, you can configure the listener to manage automatically the association between this user entity and your entites.
Using symfony2, all you have to do is to configure the DI parameter named %knp.doctrine_behaviors.blameable_listener.user_entity% with a fully qualified namespace,
for example:
# app/config/config.yml
parameters:
knp.doctrine_behaviors.blameable_listener.user_entity: AppBundle\Entity\User
Then, you can use it like that:
<?php
$category = new Category;
$em->persist($category);
// instances of %knp.doctrine_behaviors.blameable_listener.user_entity%
$creator = $em->getCreatedBy();
$updater = $em->getUpdatedBy();Loggable is able to track lifecycle modifications and log them using any third party log system. A loggable callable is used to get the logger from anywhere you want.
Geocodable Provides extensions to PostgreSQL platform in order to work with cube and earthdistance extensions.
It allows you to query entities based on geographical coordinates.
It also provides an easy entry point to use 3rd party libraries like the exellent geocoder to transform addresses into latitude and longitude.
<?php
$geocoder = new \Geocoder\Geocoder;
// register geocoder providers
// $listener instanceof GeocodableListener
$listener->setGeolocationCallable(function($entity) use($geocoder) {
$location = $geocoder->geocode($entity->getAddress());
$geocoder->setLocation(new Point(
$location->getLatitude(),
$location->getLongitude()
));
});
$category = new Category;
$em->persist($category);
$location = $category->getLocation(); // instanceof Point
// find cities in a cricle of 500 km around point 47 lon., 7 lat.
$nearCities = $repository->findByDistance(new Point(47, 7), 500);Filterable can be used at the Repository level
It allows to simple filter our result
Joined filters example:
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="ProductRepository")
*/
class ProductEntity
{
/**
* @ORM\Id
* @ORM\Column(type="integer")
* @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
private $id;
/**
* @ORM\Column(type="string", nullable=true)
*/
private $name;
/**
* @ORM\Column(type="integer")
*/
private $code;
/**
* @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="Order", mappedBy="product")
*/
protected $orders;
}and repository:
<?php
use Knp\DoctrineBehaviors\ORM\Filterable;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;
class ProductRepository extends EntityRepository
{
use Filterable\FilterableRepository;
public function getLikeFilterColumns()
{
return ['e:name', 'o:code'];
}
public function getEqualFilterColumns()
{
return [];
}
protected function createFilterQueryBuilder()
{
return $this
->createQueryBuilder('e')
->leftJoin('e.orders', 'o');
}
}Now we can filtering using:
$products = $em->getRepository('Product')->filterBy(['o:code' => '21']);If you use symfony2, you can easilly register them by importing a service definition file:
# app/config/config.yml
imports:
- { resource: ../../vendor/knp-doctrine-behaviors/config/orm-services.yml }
You can also register them using doctrine2 api:
<?php
$em->getEventManager()->addEventSubscriber(new \Knp\DoctrineBehaviors\ORM\Translatable\TranslatableListener);
// register more if neededCallables are used by some listeners like blameable and geocodable to fill information based on 3rd party system.
For example, the blameable callable can be any symfony2 service that implements __invoke method or any anonymous function, as soon as they return currently logged in user representation (which means everything, a User entity, a string, a username, ...).
For an example of DI service that is invoked, look at the Knp\DoctrineBehaviors\ORM\Blameable\UserCallable class.
In the case of geocodable, you can set it as any service that implements __invoke or anonymous function that returns a Knp\DoctrineBehaviors\ORM\Geocodable\Type\Point object.
