…them. That's tragic! Instead, those messages were sent to the doctrine transport and are waiting patiently inside of a messenger_messages table. So... how can we read these back out and process them? We need something that can fetch each row one-by-one…

…a constructor for this class... and open it up to give us some space. Now copy the Doctrine-related properties from ObjectTranslator's constructor ($translationClass and $doctrine) and paste them into our new constructor: This paves the way for our next method, public function idFor()…

…run: symfony console doctrine:migrations:migrate Say y to confirm and... beautiful! It tells us that it's Migrating up to that specific version. It seems... like that worked! To make sure, you can try another bin/console command: symfony console doctrine:query:sql with…

…text file. We're going to stop using this MixRepository and instead load these $mixes from the database. Ok: to save objects, we leveraged the EntityManagerInterface service, which is the most important service by far in Doctrine. Whelp, this service can also query for objects…

…How can I insert a new row in the question table? We need to think: Let's create a Question object, populate it with data and then ask Doctrine to save it. To play with all of this, let's add a new, sort of…

Our site has users and these questions are created by those users. So in the database, each Question needs to be related to the User that created it via a Doctrine relationship. Right now, if you open src/Entity/Question.php, that is not the…

…Yup! It looks good: it adds the two columns. Back at the terminal, run it with: symfony console doctrine:migrations:migrate And... yikes! Invalid datetime format 0000 for column created_at at row one. The problem is that our database already has rows in the…

…the database. But... that table does not exist yet. How can we create it? Well, because Doctrine has all of this configuration about the entity, like the fields and field types, it should - in theory - be able to create the table for us. And... it…

…back is a custom class. Well, technically you don't have to have a custom repository class - and if you don't, Doctrine will just give you an instance of EntityRepository. But in practice, I always have custom repository classes. Anyways, when we ask for…

Our UserAPI is now a fully functional API resource class! We've got our EntityToDtoStateProvider, which calls the core state provider from Doctrine, and that gives us all the good stuff, like querying, filtering, and pagination. Then, down here, we leverage the MicroMapper system to…

…too good to be true. It gives us all the flexibility, in theory, of a custom class, while reusing all the core Doctrine provider and processor logic. But hold your horses because there are two, albeit fixable, snags. Most importantly, we're not allowed to…

Let's keep track of the goal. When we first used stateOptions, it triggered the core Doctrine collection provider to be used. That's great... except that it returns User entities, meaning that those became the central objects for the UserApi endpoints. That causes a…

Open up src/DataFixtures/ArticleFixtures.php. Here's how this works: this function creates 10 articles whenever we run bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load. It's a cool helper we created in our Symfony series. But, the setImageFilename() stuff is now a problem. We know…

We've done it! We fixed all the deprecations in our app... except for the doctrine/persistence stuff, which we don't need to worry about because we're not upgrading that library. That means... we are ready for Symfony5! How... do we actually upgrade…

…the current list for the homepage. There are technically 12 deprecations. But remember, we can ignore all the ones from doctrine/persistence because they're not related to Symfony. With that in mind... if you look closely, there are really only two real deprecations left..…

…users, we need to be able to run some code after API Platform deserializes the JSON into a User object, but before it gets saved to Doctrine. That code will encode the plainPassword and set it on the password property. How can we do that…

…goal: to move our code - which mostly lives in config/ - into the new directory structure. The next section is doctrine... and there's nothing special here: this is the default config from Symfony 3. Compare this with config/packages/doctrine.yaml. If you look closely…

… First, in .env, change the database name to symfony3_tutorial, or whatever the database name was called when you first setup the project. Now when we run doctrine:migrations:status... yes! We have a full database! Let's start the built-in web server: ./bin…

…wrong. Right now, the MarkdownTransformer class has two arguments, type-hinted with MarkdownParserInterface and Cache from Doctrine: But, these are not being autowired: we're explicitly specifying each argument: If I were creating this service today, I actually wouldn't specify any configuration at first…

…do! I mean, a query isn't truly interesting unless you're joining across tables to do some query Kung fu. Doctrine makes JOINs really easy - it's one of my favorite features! Heck, they're so easy that I think it confuses people. Let…
