Doctrine ORM Service Provider for Silex

This provider sets up Doctrine ORM for Silex.

Summary:

• Installation
• Configuration
• Usage

Installation

Add the bundle to your composer.json

{
    "require": {
        ...
        "raztud/doctrine-orm-provider": "1.0.0"
    }
}

Tell to composer to download the bundle by running the command:

$ php composer.phar update raztud/doctrine-orm-provider

Composer will install the bundle to your project's vendor/raztud directory.

Configuration

First of all you should have the Doctrine DBAL connection configured. For more information about configuring the DoctrineServiceProvider, I'd recommend reading this page of the Silex documentation.

Registering the Doctrine ORM Service Provider is rather straight forward:

<?php

/* ... */

$app->register(new Raztud\Provider\DoctrineORMServiceProvider(), array(
    'db.connection' => $app['db'],
    'db.is_dev_mode' => false, 
    'db.orm.entities_paths'  => array(__DIR__ . '/../src/MyProject/Entity')
));

/* ... */

OR

<?php

/* ... */

$app->register(new Raztud\Provider\DoctrineORMServiceProvider(), array(
    'db.connection' => array(
        'driver'   => 'pdo_mysql',
        'user'     => '<USERNAME>',
        'password' => '<PASSWORD>',
        'dbname'   => '<DATABASE>',
    ),
    'db.is_dev_mode' => true, 
    'db.orm.entities_paths'  => array(__DIR__ . '/../src/MyProject/Entity')
));

/* ... */

Usage

You can access the EntityManager by calling $app['db.doctrine.em'].
