Custom Mapping Types
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
Doctrine allows you to create new mapping types. This can come in
|
||||
handy when you're missing a specific mapping type or when you want
|
||||
to replace the existing implementation of a mapping type.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to create a new mapping type you need to subclass
|
||||
``Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type`` and implement/override the methods as
|
||||
you wish. Here is an example skeleton of such a custom type class:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: php
|
||||
|
||||
<?php
|
||||
namespace My\Project\Types;
|
||||
|
||||
use Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type;
|
||||
use Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\AbstractPlatform;
|
||||
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* My custom datatype.
|
||||
*/
|
||||
class MyType extends Type
|
||||
{
|
||||
const MYTYPE = 'mytype'; // modify to match your type name
|
||||
|
||||
public function getSqlDeclaration(array $fieldDeclaration, AbstractPlatform $platform)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// return the SQL used to create your column type. To create a portable column type, use the $platform.
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public function convertToPHPValue($value, AbstractPlatform $platform)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// This is executed when the value is read from the database. Make your conversions here, optionally using the $platform.
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public function convertToDatabaseValue($value, AbstractPlatform $platform)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// This is executed when the value is written to the database. Make your conversions here, optionally using the $platform.
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public function getName()
|
||||
{
|
||||
return self::MYTYPE; // modify to match your constant name
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
The following assumptions are applied to mapping types by the ORM:
|
||||
|
||||
- If the value of the field is *NULL* the method
|
||||
``convertToDatabaseValue()`` is not called.
|
||||
- The ``UnitOfWork`` never passes values to the database convert
|
||||
method that did not change in the request.
|
||||
|
||||
When you have implemented the type you still need to let Doctrine
|
||||
know about it. This can be achieved through the
|
||||
``Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type#addType($name, $className)``
|
||||
method. See the following example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: php
|
||||
|
||||
<?php
|
||||
// in bootstrapping code
|
||||
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
|
||||
use Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type;
|
||||
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
|
||||
// Register my type
|
||||
Type::addType('mytype', 'My\Project\Types\MyType');
|
||||
|
||||
To convert the underlying database type of your
|
||||
new "mytype" directly into an instance of ``MyType`` when performing
|
||||
schema operations, the type has to be registered with the database
|
||||
platform as well:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: php
|
||||
|
||||
<?php
|
||||
$conn = $em->getConnection();
|
||||
$conn->getDatabasePlatform()->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('db_mytype', 'mytype');
|
||||
|
||||
When registering the custom types in the configuration you specify a unique
|
||||
name for the mapping type and map that to the corresponding fully qualified
|
||||
class name. Now the new type can be used when mapping columns:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: php
|
||||
|
||||
<?php
|
||||
class MyPersistentClass
|
||||
{
|

/** @Column(type="mytype") */

private $field;

Doctrine Mapping Types

A Doctrine Mapping Type defines the conversion the type of a PHP variable and

an SQL type. All Mapping Types that ship with Doctrine are fully portable

types to add more conversions.

--------------------

Doctrine allows you to create new mapping types. This can come in

||||
}

||||
{
|
||||
return self::MYTYPE; // modify to match your constant name
|
||||
}

||||
}

The following assumptions are applied to mapping types by the ORM:
|
||||
|
||||
- If the value of the field is *NULL* the method
|
||||
``convertToDatabaseValue()`` is not called.
|
||||
- The ``UnitOfWork`` never passes values to the database convert
|
||||
method that did not change in the request.

||||

||||

|
||||
know about it. This can be achieved through the

|

method. See the following example:

private $field;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Custom ColumnDefinition
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can define a custom definition for each column using the "columnDefinition"
|
||||
attribute of ``@Column``. You have to define all the definitions that follow
|
||||
the name of a column here.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
Using columnDefinition will break change-detection in SchemaTool.
