README

DoctrineORMModule integrates Doctrine 2 ORM with Zend Framework 2 quickly and easily.

• Doctrine 2 ORM support
• Multiple ORM entity managers
• Multiple DBAL connections
• Reuse existing PDO connections in DBAL connection

Installation

Installation of this module uses composer. For composer documentation, please refer to getcomposer.org.

php composer.phar require doctrine/doctrine-orm-module
# (When asked for a version, type `0.*`)

Then add DoctrineModule and DoctrineORMModule to your config/application.config.php and create directory data/DoctrineORMModule/Proxy and make sure your application has write access to it.

Installation without composer is not officially supported and requires you to manually install all dependencies that are listed in composer.json

Entities settings

To register your entities with the ORM, add following metadata driver configurations to your module (merged) configuration for each of your entities namespaces:

<?php
return array(
    'doctrine' => array(
        'driver' => array(
            // defines an annotation driver with two paths, and names it `my_annotation_driver`
            'my_annotation_driver' => array(
                'class' => 'Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\AnnotationDriver',
                'cache' => 'array',
                'paths' => array(
                    'path/to/my/entities',
                    'another/path'
                ),
            ),

            // default metadata driver, aggregates all other drivers into a single one.
            // Override `orm_default` only if you know what you're doing
            'orm_default' => array(
                'drivers' => array(
                    // register `my_annotation_driver` for any entity under namespace `My\Namespace`
                    'My\Namespace' => 'my_annotation_driver'
                )
            )
        )
    )
);

Connection settings

Connection parameters can be defined in the application configuration:

<?php
return array(
    'doctrine' => array(
        'connection' => array(
            // default connection name
            'orm_default' => array(
                'driverClass' => 'Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOMySql\Driver',
                'params' => array(
                    'host'     => 'localhost',
                    'port'     => '3306',
                    'user'     => 'username',
                    'password' => 'password',
                    'dbname'   => 'database',
                )
            )
        )
    ),
);

Registered Service names

• doctrine.connection.orm_default: a Doctrine\DBAL\Connection instance
• doctrine.configuration.orm_default: a Doctrine\ORM\Configuration instance
• doctrine.driver.orm_default: default mapping driver instance
• doctrine.entitymanager.orm_default: the Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager instance

Command Line

Access the Doctrine command line as following

./vendor/bin/doctrine-module

Service Locator

To access the entity manager, use the main service locator:

// for example, in a controller:
$em = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('doctrine.entitymanager.orm_default');
$em = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager');
