…you TDD everything? Yes. I was really interested because I found TDD to be very wrong for Symfony, the Symfony part, like using the Forms, using the Doctrine and stuff like that. And I was wondering, okay, how do you do that? Oh, we don…

…composer require api is in fact, um, launching a Flex recipe that will install API Platform, but also the doctrine-bundle, CORS support - Cross Origin Resource Management - and everything you need to basically have an API started. So these three steps, and I'm done…

…console make:migration Let's go check out that new file. Yep! No surprises: it just makes the column not required. Move back over and run this with: php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate Excellent! Let's try to register! Register as geordi@theenterprise.org…

…if you needed your SlackClient service, you would just add a __construct() method and autowire it! With our new knowledge, let's keep going and start mastering features, like the Doctrine ORM, form system, API stuff and a lot more. Alright guys, seeya next time…

…you learn to master services, you can do anything from anywhere in Symfony. There's a lot more to say about the topic of services, and so many other parts of Symfony: configuration, Doctrine & the database, forms, Security and APIs, to just name a few…

…Actually, I don't need to refactor, but now is a great time to add the missing Doctrine annotations. Above the $securities property, add @ORM\OneToMany() with targetEntity="Security" and mappedBy="enclosure". enclosure is the name of the property on the other side of the…

…php bin/console It's alive! Now, we can generate the migration for our User class: php bin/console doctrine:migrations:diff Yep, that looks about right. Run it: php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate Perfect! At this point, the only thing this bundle has…

…and $stripeSubscription->id: Booya! And, time to save this to the database! Since we're using Doctrine in Symfony, we need the EntityManager object to do this. I'll use dependency injection: add an EntityManager argument to the __construct() method, and set it on a…

…m just trying to keep things simple. If I were doing this in a real project, I'd probably use a library called Pagerfanta. It helps you paginate and has built-in adapters already for Doctrine, and Elastic Search. You can give it things like…

…to unlocking really powerful features. A very important tag is kernel.event_listener, which allows you to register “hooks” inside Symfony at various stages of the request lifecycle. That topic is for another screencast, but we’ll cover a very similar subject next: Doctrine events.

…can run: symfony console doctrine:migrations:migrate current-1 That will reverse the most recent migration, causing the contentful and route tables to be dropped. Put them back with: symfony console doctrine:migrations:migrate Re-sync the content again: And now check the routes: Yes…

…web debug toolbar, we have a 400 error. Dang. When we open that up, we see: Value loader for doctrine_recipe value type does not exist. There's just one final piece we need: A very simple class called the "value loader". That's next.

…most recent requests we've made. Here's the one we just made to /questions/new. Click the little token string on the right to jump into the full profiler for that request! Go to the "Doctrine" tab and... bam! Cool! It even wraps the…

…main php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load Ok, let's break this down. First, there is actually a much easier way to do all of this... but I'll save that for some future SymfonyCloud tutorial. Basically, we're running the doctrine:fixtures:load command…

…not that there are only 3 objects being hydrated during this request, but that our code asks Doctrine to hydrate one or more objects on three occasions. So where are the 3 times that we're hydrating objects? One of the cool things is that…

…Great! Delete the validation line! What's really interesting is that enable_annotations is set to true because it detected that we have the Doctrine annotations package installed. This is the flow with Flex: install a package and you're done. Ok! It might not…

…is still there, just the way it always was. If you try to run this migration...it will blow up, with this rude error: Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column... It turns out, Doctrine has a bug! Gasp! The horror! Yep…

…and paste that below: So what language happens when there are no migrations to execute? Go to your virtual machine and run the migrations to find out: ./bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate --no-interaction Yes! It says: No migrations to execute That's the key…

We had a great question from a user recently where the answer involved a little-known Doctrine feature called HIDDEN. You won't need it often, but it deserves its 5 in the spotlight! HIDDEN allows you to select a field so that you can…
