Symfony2 bundle to generate model or interface class

Installation

1. Add bundle as dependency to the composer.json

{
    "require": {
        "pandora/doctrine-generator-bundle": "dev-master"
    }
}

2. Run "composer update"
3. Make sure to enable PandoraDoctrineGeneratorBundle in AppKernel.php .

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Pandora\DoctrineGeneratorBundle\PandoraDoctrineGeneratorBundle(),
    );
}

Available Commands

• use doctrine:generate:model or generate:doctrine:model to generate single model class
• use doctrine:generate:models or generate:doctrine:models to generate model in bundle

Usage

doctrine:generate:model

php app/console doctrine:generate:model --model=YourBundle:Blog/Post

The above command would initialize a new model in the following model namespace Acme\BlogBundle\Model\Blog\Post

You can also optionally spectify the fields you want to generate in the new model:

php app/console doctrine:generate:model --model=YourBundle:Blog/Post --fields="title:string(255) body:text"

The command can also generate the corresponding entity repository class with the --with-repository option:

php app/console doctrine:generate:model --model=YourBundle:Blog/Post --with-repository

By default, the command uses annotations for the mapping information; change it with --format:

php app/console doctrine:generate:model --model=YourBundle:Blog/Post --format=yml

To generate or update the corresponding entity class, use the --with-entity option:

php app/console doctrine:generate:model --model=YourBundle:Blog/Post --with-entity

To generate the corresponding interface class, use the --with-interface option:

php app/console doctrine:generate:model --model=YourBundle:Blog/Post --with-interface

doctrine:generate:models

• To a bundle:

php app/console doctrine:generate:models YourBundle

• To a single model:

php app/console doctrine:generate:models YourBundle:User
php app/console doctrine:generate:models Your/Bundle/Model/User

• To a namespace:

php app/console doctrine:generate:models YourBundle/Model

If the entities are not stored in a bundle, and if the classes do not exist, the command has no way to guess where they should be generated. In this case, you must provide the --path option:

php app/console doctrine:generate:models Your/Bundle/Model --path=src/

By default, the unmodified version of each model is backed up and saved (e.g. Product.php~). To prevent this task from creating the backup file, pass the --no-backup option:

php app/console doctrine:generate:models Your/Bundle/Model --no-backup

To generate or update the corresponding entity class, use the --with-entity option:

php app/console doctrine:generate:models YourBundle --with-entity

To generate the corresponding interface class, use the --with-interface option:

php app/console doctrine:generate:models YourBundle --with-interface

Important: Even if you specified Inheritance options in your XML or YAML Mapping files the generator cannot generate the base and child classes for you correctly, because it doesnot know which class is supposed to extend which. You have to adjust the model code manually for inheritance to work!
