Working with Indexed Assocations
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:
|
||||
|
||||
This feature is scheduled for version 2.1 of Doctrine and not included in the 2.0.x series.
|
||||
|
||||
Doctrine 2 collections are modelled after PHPs native arrays. PHP arrays are an ordered hashmap, but in
|
||||
the first version of Doctrine keys retrieved from the database were always numerical unless ``INDEX BY``
|
||||
was used. Starting with Doctrine 2.1 you can index your collections by a value in the related entity.
|
||||
This is a first step towards full ordered hashmap support through the Doctrine ORM.
|
||||
The feature works like an implicit ``INDEX BY`` for the selected association but has several
|
||||
downsides also:
|
||||
|
||||
- You have to manage both the key and field if you want to change the index by field value.
|
||||
- On each request the keys are regenerated from the field value not from the previous collection key.
|
||||
- Values of the Index-By keys are never considered during persistence, it only exists for accessing purposes.
|
||||
- Fields that are used for the index by feature **HAVE** to be unique in the database. The behavior for multiple entities
|
||||
with the same index-by field value is undefined.
|
||||
|
||||
As an example we will design a simple stock exchange list view. The domain consists of the entity ``Stock``
|
||||
and ``Market`` where each Stock has a symbol and is traded on a single market. Instead of having a numerical
|
||||
list of stocks traded on a market they will be indexed by their symbol, which is unique across all markets.
|
||||
|
||||
Mapping Indexed Assocations
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
You can map indexed assocations by adding:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``indexBy`` attribute to any ``@OneToMany`` or ``@ManyToMany`` annotation.
|
||||
* ``index-by`` attribute to any ``<one-to-many />`` or ``<many-to-many />`` xml element.
|
||||
* ``indexBy:`` key-value pair to any association defined in ``manyToMany:`` or ``oneToMany:`` YAML mapping files.
|
||||
|
||||
The code and mappings for the Market entity looks like this:
|
||||
|
||||
.. configuration-block::
|
||||
.. code-block:: php
|
||||
|
||||
<?php
|
||||
namespace Doctrine\Tests\Models\StockExchange;
|
||||
|
||||
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
|
||||
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* @Entity
|
||||
* @Table(name="exchange_markets")
|
||||
*/
|
||||
class Market
|
||||
{
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* @Id @Column(type="integer") @GeneratedValue
|
||||
* @var int
|
||||
*/
|
||||
private $id;
|
||||
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* @Column(type="string")
|
||||
* @var string
|
||||
*/
|
||||
private $name;
|
||||
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* @OneToMany(targetEntity="Stock", mappedBy="market", indexBy="symbol")
|
||||
* @var Stock[]
|
||||
*/
|
||||
private $stocks;
|
||||
|
||||
public function __construct($name)
|
||||
{
|
||||
$this->name = $name;
|
||||
$this->stocks = new ArrayCollection();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public function getId()
|
||||
{
|
||||
return $this->id;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public function getName()
|
||||
{
|
||||
return $this->name;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public function addStock(Stock $stock)
|
||||
{
|
||||
$this->stocks[$stock->getSymbol()] = $stock;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public function getStock($symbol)
|
||||
{
|
||||
if (!isset($this->stocks[$symbol])) {
|
||||
throw new \InvalidArgumentException("Symbol is not traded on this market.");
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return $this->stocks[$symbol];
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public function getStocks()
|
||||
{
|
||||
return $this->stocks->toArray();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}

||||

|

|

Inside the ``addStock()`` method you can see how we directly set the key of the association to the symbol,
|
||||
so that we can work with the indexed assocation directly after invoking ``addStock()``. Inside ``getStock($symbol)``
|
||||
we pick a stock traded on the particular market by symbol. If this stock doesn't exist an exception is thrown.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``Stock`` entity doesn't contain any special instructions that are new, but for completeness
|
||||
here are the code and mappings for it:

|

private $id;
|

/**
|

|
||||

||||

|

*/
|
||||
private $symbol;
|
||||
|

/**

public function __construct($symbol, Market $market)

{

Querying indexed associations
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Now that we defined the stocks collection to be indexed by symbol we can take a look at some code,
|
||||
that makes use of the indexing.
|
||||
|
||||
First we will populate our database with two example stocks traded on a single market:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: php
|
||||
|
||||
<?php
|
||||
// $em is the EntityManager
|
||||
|
||||
$market = new Market("Some Exchange");
|
||||
$stock1 = new Stock("AAPL", $market);
|
||||
$stock2 = new Stock("GOOG", $market);
|
||||
|
||||
$em->persist($market);
|
||||
$em->persist($stock1);
|
||||
$em->persist($stock2);
|
||||
$em->flush();
|
||||
|
||||
This code is not particular interesting since the indexing feature is not yet used. In a new request we could
|
||||
now query for the market:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: php
|
||||
|
||||
<?php
|
||||
// $em is the EntityManager
|
||||
$marketId = 1;
|
||||
$symbol = "AAPL";
|
||||
|
||||
$market = $em->find("Doctrine\Tests\Models\StockExchange\Market", $marketId);
|
||||
|
||||
// Access the stocks by symbol now:
|
||||
$stock = $market->getSymbol($symbol);
|
||||
|
||||
echo $stock->getSymbol(); // will print "AAPL"
|
||||
|
||||
The implementation ``Market::addStock()`` in combination with ``indexBy`` allows to access the collection
|
||||
consistently by the Stock symbol. It does not matter if Stock is managed by Doctrine or not.
|
||||
|
||||
The same applies to DQL queries: The ``indexBy`` configuration acts as implicit "INDEX BY" to a join association.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: php
|
||||
|
||||
<?php
|
||||
// $em is the EntityManager
|
||||
$marketId = 1;
|
||||
$symbol = "AAPL";
|
||||
|
||||
$dql = "SELECT m, s FROM Doctrine\Tests\Models\StockExchange\Market m JOIN m.stocks s WHERE m.id = ?1";
|
||||
$market = $em->createQuery($dql)
|
||||
->setParameter(1, $marketId)
|
||||
->getSingleResult();
|
||||
|
||||
// Access the stocks by symbol now:
|
||||
$stock = $market->getSymbol($symbol);
|
||||
|
||||
echo $stock->getSymbol(); // will print "AAPL"
|
||||
|
||||
Outlook into the Future
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
For the inverse side of a many-to-many associations there will be a way to persist the keys and the order
|
||||
as a third and fourth parameter into the join table. This feature is discussed in `DDC-213<http://www.doctrine-project.org/jira/browse/DDC-213>`_
|
||||
This feature cannot be implemeted for One-To-Many associations, because they are never the owning side.
