The goal of this bundle is to make the use of Doctrine as session handler for Symfony

Installation

Downloading

$ composer require blast-project/doctrine-session-bundle

Add to your AppKernel

//...

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = [
            //...

            new Blast\DoctrineSessionBundle\BlastDoctrineSessionBundle(),

        ];
        //...
    }
    //...

Doctrine

Configure your Doctrine connections

# app/config/config.yml

doctrine:
    dbal:
        default_connection: default
        connections:
            default:
                driver:   pdo_pgsql
                host:     "%database_host%"
                port:     "%database_port%"
                dbname:   "%database_name%"
                user:     "%database_user%"
                password: "%database_password%"
                charset:  UTF8
            session: # This will be the connection used by this bundle
                driver:   pdo_pgsql
                host:     "%database_host%" # Please adapt to your needs if you're using another database for sessions
                port:     "%database_port%"
                dbname:   "%database_name%"
                user:     "%database_user%"
                password: "%database_password%"
                charset:  UTF8

    orm:
        default_entity_manager: default
        auto_generate_proxy_classes: "%kernel.debug%"
        entity_managers:
            default:
                connection: default
                naming_strategy: doctrine.orm.naming_strategy.underscore
                auto_mapping: true
                mappings:
                    # Add here your mapping for your default entities
                    # Example below :
                    BlastBaseEntitiesBundle:
                        type: yml
            session:
                connection: session
                naming_strategy: doctrine.orm.naming_strategy.underscore
                auto_mapping: false # Only one entity manager can have auto_mappping set to true
                mappings:
                    BlastDoctrineSessionBundle:
                        type: yml

Configure the framework session handler :

# app/config/config.yml

framework:
    # [...]
    session:
        handler_id: blast_doctrine_handler

Database

$ php bin/console doctrine:database:create --connection=session

Or

$ php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force --connection=session

Usage

use Blast\DoctrineSessionBundle\Handler\DoctrineORMHandler;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Session;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Storage\NativeSessionStorage;

//...

        $doctrinehandler = new DoctrineORMHandler(
                         $this->get('doctrine'),
                         'Blast\DoctrineSessionBundle\Entity\Session');

        $storage = new NativeSessionStorage(
                 array(),
                 $doctrinehandler
        );

        $session = new Session($storage);
        $session->start();
//...
