README

While developing management applications, we often face a lot of difficulties when implementing a dynamic coding system for our entities such as (customers, suppliers, invoices, products, ...). That's where CodeMaker will make your life mutch easier by offering you a very simple yet powerful coding system.

Installation

1. composer require isom/code-maker
2. Enable the bundle in AppKernel.php new SBC\CodeMakerBundle\CodeMakerBundle()
3. Add this in config/routing.yml

   code_maker:
       resource: "@CodeMakerBundle/Controller/"
       type: annotation
       prefix: /code-maker

4. Add this in config/config.yml

   # Code maker Configuration
   code_maker:
       auto_update_id: true
       respect_pattern: true
       cm_form_template: 'native' #by default native|material|altair
       cm_base_layout: '@your-base-layout.html.twig'

5. Run php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force

Usage

Now let's say that you have an entity called Product and you want to generate a new custom string id every time when a new product is created, then you need to do the following things:

1. Step 1

Create your Product entity and implement the CodeMaker annotation

<?php
namespace YourBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use SBC\CodeMakerBundle\Annotation\CodeMaker;
/**
 * Product
 *
 * @ORM\Table(name="Product")
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="YourBundle\Repository\ProductRepository")
 * 
 * @CodeMaker(  
 *     displayName="Products",  
 *     codeColumn="id"  
 * )
 */
class Product
{
	/**  
	 * @var string 
	 * @ORM\Id 
	 * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="string", length=255) 
	 */
	private $id;
	
	/**  
	 * @var string 
	 * @ORM\Column(name="field;", type="string", length=255) 
	 */
	private $field;

	/**
	 *
	 *
	 * Getters and setters
	 */
}

• displayName : a simple name that will be used by CodeMakerBundle's coding system
• codeColumn : the field considered as unique identifier (it can be the identifier of the entity or another field)
• discriminatorColumn : we will see them in a specific part
• discriminations : we will see them in a specific part

2. Step 2

Now after the implementation of the CodeMaker annotation the entity will be known by the coding system and all that remains is to create our famous Generator

2.1. Create Generator with console mode

2.2. Create Generator with graphic interface mode
