Splash Metadata

Metadata-driven field automation for Splash Sync on Doctrine entities.

Splash Metadata eliminates manual field definitions in Splash connectors by using PHP 8.1+ attributes to automatically discover, configure, and expose Doctrine entity properties as Splash fields.

What It Does

• Automatic field discovery -- annotate your Doctrine entities with PHP attributes, and Splash Metadata collects, types, and publishes fields for you.
• SubResource & ListResource support -- nested objects (addresses, line items) are flattened into child fields with zero boilerplate.
• Built-in data transformation -- PHP types (DateTime, bool, float, ...) are converted to/from Splash types transparently.

Installation

composer require splash/metadata

The Symfony bundle is registered automatically via Flex.

Quick Start

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Splash\Metadata\Attributes as SPL;

#[ORM\Entity]
#[SPL\SplashObject(name: "Product", ico: "fa fa-box")]
class Product
{
    #[ORM\Id]
    #[ORM\Column]
    #[ORM\GeneratedValue]
    public ?int $id = null;

    #[ORM\Column]
    #[SPL\Field(desc: "Product name")]
    #[SPL\Flags(required: true, listed: true, searchable: true)]
    #[SPL\Microdata(itemType: "https://schema.org/Product", itemProp: "name")]
    public ?string $name = null;

    #[ORM\Column(nullable: true)]
    #[SPL\Field(desc: "Unit price")]
    public ?float $price = null;

    #[ORM\Column(nullable: true)]
    #[SPL\Field(desc: "Is product active")]
    public ?bool $active = null;
}

That's it. The library handles field collection, type detection, and data transformation automatically.

Compatibility

Runtime requirement: splash/php-bundle ^3.0
