Symfony Console Commands
…we only want
to run if this is a development machine, because it resets the database.
We'll talk about controlling that later.
For this command, use hautelook_alice:doctrine:fixtures:load --no-interaction:
Ok! The 3 commands are ready! Head back to the terminal…
JoinColumn & Relations in Fixtures
…Alice will now look at the 10 Genus objects matching this pattern and select
a random one each time.
Reload the fixtures:
It's alive! Check out the results again with doctrine:query:sql:
Every single one has a random genus. Do you love it…
PHP 8.4 & Recipe Updates
…we have a bunch to update. We'll go through them one-by-one. Hitting enter will
use the first one in the list, doctrine/deprecations.
"No file changed...". Hmm, run git status so see what's up. Just the symfony.lock file was modified…
Installing API Platform
…s empty because we don't, ya know, actually have an API
just yet, but this is going to come to life very soon.
Next: Let's create our first Doctrine entity and "expose" that as an API Resource.
It's time for some magic.
Upgrading to Symfony 7.4
…Pop over to our app and refresh the homepage to make
sure everything's still running smoothly. Nice, 7.4 upgrade was a success!
Next, we're going to update Doctrine and explore a cool improvement in the
latest version of the ORM. Stay tuned!
Autoconfiguration
…configuration, and environments. We are powerful! No, unstoppable.
In the next tutorial, we'll introduce Doctrine - the industry standard way to
work with databases in PHP. Until then practice. Go build something -
anything - and tell us about it. And if you have any questions, thoughts…
Multiple Submit Buttons
…it also guesses
field type options. For example, if a Doctrine entity property is nullable: true like
for this notes field:
Then Symfony will automatically make it optional. And the reverse for
the other fields, the required HTML attribute will be added if the field…
Submitting a Form via GET
…install and configure it, build form types,
render them with Twig helper functions, and handle submissions the right way
with Form::handleRequest(). We've looked at how forms link up with Doctrine
entities, how validation works, how to customize fields and attributes, and
how to…
The Serializer
…methods.
Cool! This will also cause the column in my database to change... so spin
over to your console and run:
symfony console make:migration
I'll live dangerously and run that immediately:
symfony console doctrine:migrations:migrate
Done! Thanks to that rename... over in…
Using GROUP BY to Fetch & Count in 1 Query
… Only 1 query!
Yo friends, we did it! Woo! Thanks for joining me on this magical ride through
all things Doctrine Query. This stuff is just weird, cool and fun. I hope you enjoyed
it as much as I did. If you encounter any crazy…
Selecting Specific Fields
…back from Doctrine is the ideal situation because...
objects are just really nice to work with. But at the end of the day, if you need
to query for specific data or columns, you can totally do that. And as we just
saw, Doctrine will…
Test Environment Database Setup
…page... it's not using the DATABASE_URL from my .env:
it's using the dynamic value that's set by the symfony binary. This is something
that we talked about in our Doctrine tutorial.
However, that magic is clearly not happening in our test…
Querying Classes
…setParameter(), for the second argument, use
$this->getEntityManager()->getClassMetadata(Scout::class).
This returns a special
metadata object for the Scout class and is what Doctrine needs to properly handle the INSTANCE OF
operator with parameters.
Refresh the browser... and nice, just the scouts again!
Try…
Subresources
…FROM dragon_treasure WHERE owner_id =
whatever we pass for {user_id}. It knows how to make that query by looking
at the Doctrine relationship and figuring out which column to use. It's super
smart.
We can actually see this in the profiler…
Hello Integration Tests!
…LockDownRepository().
But, hmm. LockDownRepository extends ServiceEntityRepository, which extends
another class from Doctrine. If you look, to instantiate it, we need to pass
a ManagerRegistry from Doctrine. And if you hold "command" or "control" and click
into this... and go to the base class, it gets…
Composer
…doctrine/dbal package and added it.
With the require command, you can search for the package you need and Composer
will automatically update your composer.json for you and run the update
command to download the library. In this case, when I included the doctrine…
Generating the API Token & Fixtures
…Instead, since
every user will already have some API tokens in the database, we can jump straight
to learning how to read and validate those tokens.
Reload the fixtures with:
symfony console doctrine:fixtures:load
And... beautiful! But since we're not going to build…
Bootstrapping a Killer Test System
…in the test environment, we're missing the database. We could easily fix this
by running:
symfony console doctrine:database:create --env=test
But that's way too much work. Instead, add one more trait to our test class:
use ResetDatabase:
This comes from Foundry: the…
Token Types & The ApiToken Entity
…console make:migration
Spin over and peek at that file to make sure it looks good. Yup! It creates
the api_token table:
Run that with:
symfony console doctrine:migrations:migrate
And... awesome! Next: let's add a way to generate the random token string…
Pushing & Pulling Translations
…We'll need to rely on a third-party
solution for that. A popular one is this
Doctrine Extensions package.
It has a "Translatable" behavior
that allows you to translate your entities. There's also a
Symfony Bundle
to wire it all up.
It works…
