README

TangoMan Entity Helper provides a collection of traits for common properties to use in your project entities.

Features

• Included asserts with custom messages (french) for property validation.
• Fluent setters for all properties, allowing chaining.
• Magic JsonSerialisable.

Installation

Step 1: Download the Helper

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this helper:

$ composer require tangoman/entity-helper

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Step 2: Enable VichUploader

Since TangoMan Entity Helper requires VichUploaderBundle, if you plan to use UploadableDocument, or UploadableImage traits, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the app/AppKernel.php file of your project:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    // ...

    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...
            new Vich\UploaderBundle\VichUploaderBundle(),
        );

        // ...
    }
}

Step 3: Implement your entities

Add "use" statements inside your entities for desired traits. See below for full list of availlable traits.

Step 4: Update your database schema

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to update your database schema:

$ php bin/console schema:update

Usage

Inside your entity class: Some traits will require your entity class to use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints for validation. UploadableDocument and UploadableImage traits will require your entity class to use Vich\UploaderBundle\Mapping\Annotation as Vich annotation.

src\AppBundle\Entity\FooBar.php

<?php

namespace AppBundle\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
use Vich\UploaderBundle\Mapping\Annotation as Vich;

// ...

Trait JsonSerializable

Magic method to make your entities jsonserializable. Allows to use php json_encode() function on your object.

$fooBar = new FooBar;
$json = json_encode($fooBar, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
echo $json;

In order to use php JsonSerializable interface on your object your class must implement \JsonSerializable src\AppBundle\Entity\FooBar.php

namespace AppBundle\Entity;

use TangoMan\EntityHelper\Traits\JsonSerializable;

class FooBar implements \JsonSerializable {
    use JsonSerializable;

    // ...
