…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…

…just simpler if you can update the state immediately. And that is why UUID's can be awesome. If you configure your Doctrine entities to use UUID's instead of auto-increment ids, you can generate valid UUID's in JavaScript, update the state immediately…

…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…

…After that, the controller is called and the stuff under that is our work. We can see some Doctrine calls we’re making and the time it takes to render the template. After the controller, the kernel.response event is dispatched, it has a few…

…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.

…re back! With just a few commands we've converted our entire site from annotations to attributes. Woo! Next, let's add property types to our entities. That's going to allow us to have less entity config thanks to a new feature in Doctrine.

…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…

…Next, let's talk about a really cool new feature called "validation auto mapping". It's a wicked-smart feature that automatically adds validation constraints based on your Doctrine metadata and also based on the way that your PHP code is written in your class.

…But if you want to guarantee cleaner filenames, there's an easy way to do that. I'll use a class called Urlizer: this comes from the gedmo/doctrine-extensions library. It has a nice method called urlize() and we can wrap our $originalFilename in…

…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…

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…
