Install Gedmo Doctrine2 extensions in Symfony2

Configure full featured Doctrine2 extensions for your symfony2 project. This post will show you - how to create a simple configuration file to manage extensions with ability to use all features it provides. Interested? then bear with me! and don't be afraid, we're not diving into security component :)

This post will put some light over the shed of extension installation and mapping configuration of Doctrine2. It does not require any additional dependencies and gives you full power over management of extensions.

Symfony2 application

First of all, we will need a symfony2 startup application, let's say symfony-standard edition with composer. Follow the standard setup:

  • git clone git://github.com/KnpLabs/symfony-with-composer.git example
  • cd example && rm -rf .git && php bin/vendors install
  • ensure your application loads and meets requirements, by following the url: http://your_virtual_host/app_dev.php

Now let's add the gedmo/doctrine-extensions into composer.json

{
    "require": {
        "php":              ">=5.3.2",
        "symfony/symfony":  ">=2.0.9,<2.1.0-dev",
        "doctrine/orm":     ">=2.1.0,<2.2.0-dev",
        "twig/extensions":  "*",

        "symfony/assetic-bundle":         "*",
        "sensio/generator-bundle":        "2.0.*",
        "sensio/framework-extra-bundle":  "2.0.*",
        "sensio/distribution-bundle":     "2.0.*",
        "jms/security-extra-bundle":      "1.0.*",
        "gedmo/doctrine-extensions":      "dev-master"
    },

    "autoload": {
        "psr-0": {
            "Acme": "src/"
        }
    }
}

Update vendors, run: php composer.phar update gedmo/doctrine-extensions Initially in this package you have doctrine2 orm included, so we will base our setup and configuration for this specific connection. Do not forget to configure your database connection parameters, edit app/config/parameters.yml

Mapping

Let's start from the mapping. In case you use the translatable, tree or loggable extension you will need to map those abstract mapped superclasses for your ORM to be aware of. To do so, add some mapping info to your doctrine.orm configuration, edit app/config/config.yml:

doctrine:
    dbal:
# your dbal config here

    orm:
        auto_generate_proxy_classes: %kernel.debug%
        auto_mapping: true
# only these lines are added additionally
        mappings:
            translatable:
                type: annotation
                alias: Gedmo
                prefix: Gedmo\Translatable\Entity
                # make sure vendor library location is correct
                dir: "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/gedmo/doctrine-extensions/lib/Gedmo/Translatable/Entity"

After that, running php app/console doctrine:mapping:info you should see the output:

Found 3 entities mapped in entity manager default:
[OK]   Gedmo\Translatable\Entity\MappedSuperclass\AbstractPersonalTranslation
[OK]   Gedmo\Translatable\Entity\MappedSuperclass\AbstractTranslation
[OK]   Gedmo\Translatable\Entity\Translation

Well, we mapped only translatable for now, it really depends on your needs, which extensions your application uses.

Note: there is Gedmo\Translatable\Entity\Translation which is not a super class, in that case if you create a doctrine schema, it will add ext_translations table, which might not be useful to you also. To skip mapping of these entities, you can map only superclasses

mappings:
    translatable:
        type: annotation
        alias: Gedmo
        prefix: Gedmo\Translatable\Entity
        # make sure vendor library location is correct
        dir: "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/gedmo/doctrine-extensions/lib/Gedmo/Translatable/Entity/MappedSuperclass"

The configuration above, adds a /MappedSuperclass into directory depth, after running php app/console doctrine:mapping:info you should only see now:

Found 2 entities mapped in entity manager default:
[OK]   Gedmo\Translatable\Entity\MappedSuperclass\AbstractPersonalTranslation
[OK]   Gedmo\Translatable\Entity\MappedSuperclass\AbstractTranslation

This is very useful for advanced requirements and quite simple to understand. So now let's map everything the extensions provide:

# only orm config branch of doctrine
orm:
    auto_generate_proxy_classes: %kernel.debug%
    auto_mapping: true
# only these lines are added additionally
    mappings:
        translatable:
            type: annotation
            alias: Gedmo
            prefix: Gedmo\Translatable\Entity
            # make sure vendor library location is correct
            dir: "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/gedmo/doctrine-extensions/lib/Gedmo/Translatable/Entity"
        loggable:
            type: annotation
            alias: Gedmo
            prefix: Gedmo\Loggable\Entity
            dir: "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/gedmo/doctrine-extensions/lib/Gedmo/Loggable/Entity"
        tree:
            type: annotation
            alias: Gedmo
            prefix: Gedmo\Tree\Entity
            dir: "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/gedmo/doctrine-extensions/lib/Gedmo/Tree/Entity"

Doctrine extension listener services

Next, the heart of extensions are behavioral listeners which pours all the sugar. We will create a yml service file in our config directory. The setup can be different, your config could be located in the bundle, it depends on your preferences. Edit app/config/doctrine_extensions.yml

# services to handle doctrine extensions
# import it in config.yml
services:
    # KernelRequest listener
    extension.listener:
        class: Acme\DemoBundle\Listener\DoctrineExtensionListener
        calls:
            - [ setContainer, [ @service_container ] ]
        tags:
            # translatable sets locale after router processing
            - { name: kernel.event_listener, event: kernel.request, method: onLateKernelRequest, priority: -10 }
            # loggable hooks user username if one is in security context
            - { name: kernel.event_listener, event: kernel.request, method: onKernelRequest }
            # translatable sets locale such as default application locale before command execute
            - { name: kernel.event_listener, event: console.command, method: onConsoleCommand, priority: -10 }


    # Doctrine Extension listeners to handle behaviors
    gedmo.listener.tree:
        class: Gedmo\Tree\TreeListener
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_subscriber, connection: default }
        calls:
            - [ setAnnotationReader, [ "@annotation_reader" ] ]

    gedmo.listener.translatable:
        class: Gedmo\Translatable\TranslatableListener
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_subscriber, connection: default }
        calls:
            - [ setAnnotationReader, [ "@annotation_reader" ] ]
            - [ setDefaultLocale, [ %locale% ] ]
            - [ setTranslationFallback, [ false ] ]

    gedmo.listener.timestampable:
        class: Gedmo\Timestampable\TimestampableListener
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_subscriber, connection: default }
        calls:
            - [ setAnnotationReader, [ "@annotation_reader" ] ]

    gedmo.listener.sluggable:
        class: Gedmo\Sluggable\SluggableListener
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_subscriber, connection: default }
        calls:
            - [ setAnnotationReader, [ "@annotation_reader" ] ]

    gedmo.listener.sortable:
        class: Gedmo\Sortable\SortableListener
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_subscriber, connection: default }
        calls:
            - [ setAnnotationReader, [ "@annotation_reader" ] ]

    gedmo.listener.loggable:
        class: Gedmo\Loggable\LoggableListener
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_subscriber, connection: default }
        calls:
            - [ setAnnotationReader, [ "@annotation_reader" ] ]

    gedmo.listener.blameable:
        class: Gedmo\Blameable\BlameableListener
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_subscriber, connection: default }
        calls:
            - [ setAnnotationReader, [ "@annotation_reader" ] ]

So what does it include in general? Well, it creates services for all extension listeners. You can remove some which you do not use, or change them as you need. Translatable for instance, sets the default locale to the value of your %locale% parameter, you can configure it differently.

Note: In case you noticed, there is Acme\DemoBundle\Listener\DoctrineExtensionListener. You will need to create this listener class if you use loggable or translatable behaviors. This listener will set the locale used from request and username to loggable. So, to finish the setup create Acme\DemoBundle\Listener\DoctrineExtensionListener

<?php

// file: src/Acme/DemoBundle/Listener/DoctrineExtensionListener.php

namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Listener;

use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\GetResponseEvent;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerAwareInterface;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Kernel;

class DoctrineExtensionListener implements ContainerAwareInterface
{
    /**
     * @var ContainerInterface
     */
    protected $container;

    public function setContainer(ContainerInterface $container = null)
    {
        $this->container = $container;
    }

    public function onLateKernelRequest(GetResponseEvent $event)
    {
        $translatable = $this->container->get('gedmo.listener.translatable');
        $translatable->setTranslatableLocale($event->getRequest()->getLocale());
    }

    public function onConsoleCommand()
    {
        $this->container->get('gedmo.listener.translatable')
            ->setTranslatableLocale($this->container->get('translator')->getLocale());
    }

    public function onKernelRequest(GetResponseEvent $event)
    {
        if (Kernel::MAJOR_VERSION == 2 && Kernel::MINOR_VERSION < 6) {
            $securityContext = $this->container->get('security.context', ContainerInterface::NULL_ON_INVALID_REFERENCE);
            if (null !== $securityContext && null !== $securityContext->getToken() && $securityContext->isGranted('IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED')) {
                # for loggable behavior
                $loggable = $this->container->get('gedmo.listener.loggable');
                $loggable->setUsername($securityContext->getToken()->getUsername());

                # for blameable behavior
                $blameable = $this->container->get('gedmo.listener.blameable');
                $blameable->setUserValue($securityContext->getToken()->getUser());
            }
        }
        else {
            $tokenStorage = $this->container->get('security.token_storage')->getToken();
            $authorizationChecker = $this->container->get('security.authorization_checker');
            if (null !== $tokenStorage && $authorizationChecker->isGranted('IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED')) {
                # for loggable behavior
                $loggable = $this->container->get('gedmo.listener.loggable');
                $loggable->setUsername($tokenStorage->getUser());

                # for blameable behavior
                $blameable = $this->container->get('gedmo.listener.blameable');
                $blameable->setUserValue($tokenStorage->getUser());
            }
        }
    }
}

Do not forget to import doctrine_extensions.yml in your app/config/config.yml:

# file: app/config/config.yml
imports:
    - { resource: parameters.yml }
    - { resource: security.yml }
    - { resource: doctrine_extensions.yml }

# ... configuration follows

Example

After that, you have your extensions set up and ready to be used! Too easy right? Well, if you do not believe me, let's create a simple entity in our Acme project:

<?php

// file: src/Acme/DemoBundle/Entity/BlogPost.php

namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Entity;

use Gedmo\Mapping\Annotation as Gedmo; // gedmo annotations
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM; // doctrine orm annotations

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 */
class BlogPost
{
    /**
     * @Gedmo\Slug(fields={"title"}, updatable=false, separator="_")
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(length=32, unique=true)
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @Gedmo\Translatable
     * @ORM\Column(length=64)
     */
    private $title;

    /**
     * @Gedmo\Timestampable(on="create")
     * @ORM\Column(name="created", type="datetime")
     */
    private $created;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(name="updated", type="datetime")
     * @Gedmo\Timestampable(on="update")
     */
    private $updated;

    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    public function setTitle($title)
    {
        $this->title = $title;
    }

    public function getTitle()
    {
        return $this->title;
    }

    public function getCreated()
    {
        return $this->created;
    }

    public function getUpdated()
    {
        return $this->updated;
    }
}

Now, let's have some fun:

  • if you have not created the database yet, run php app/console doctrine:database:create
  • create the schema php app/console doctrine:schema:create

Everything will work just fine, you can modify the Acme\DemoBundle\Controller\DemoController and add an action to test how it works:

// file: src/Acme/DemoBundle/Controller/DemoController.php
// include this code portion

/**
 * @Route("/posts", name="_demo_posts")
 */
public function postsAction()
{
    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
    $repository = $em->getRepository('AcmeDemoBundle:BlogPost');
    // create some posts in case if there aren't any
    if (!$repository->findOneById('hello_world')) {
        $post = new \Acme\DemoBundle\Entity\BlogPost();
        $post->setTitle('Hello world');

        $next = new \Acme\DemoBundle\Entity\BlogPost();
        $next->setTitle('Doctrine extensions');

        $em->persist($post);
        $em->persist($next);
        $em->flush();
    }
    $posts = $em
        ->createQuery('SELECT p FROM AcmeDemoBundle:BlogPost p')
        ->getArrayResult()
    ;
    die(var_dump($posts));
}

Now if you follow the url: http://your_virtual_host/app_dev.php/demo/posts you should see a print of posts, this is only an extension demo, we will not create a template.

More tips

Regarding, the setup, I do not think it's too complicated to use, in general it is simple enough, and lets you understand at least small parts on how you can hook mappings into doctrine, and how easily extension services are added. This configuration does not hide anything behind curtains and allows you to modify the configuration as you require.

Multiple entity managers

If you use more than one entity manager, you can simply tag the listener with other the manager name:

services:
    # tree behavior
    gedmo.listener.tree:
        class: Gedmo\Tree\TreeListener
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_subscriber, connection: default }
            # additional ORM subscriber
            - { name: doctrine.event_subscriber, connection: other_connection }
            # ODM MongoDb subscriber, where **default** is manager name
            - { name: doctrine_mongodb.odm.event_subscriber }
        calls:
            - [ setAnnotationReader, [ @annotation_reader ] ]

Regarding, mapping of ODM mongodb, it's basically the same:

doctrine_mongodb:
    default_database: 'my_database'
    default_connection: 'default'
    default_document_manager: 'default'
    connections:
        default: ~
    document_managers:
        default:
            connection: 'default'
            auto_mapping: true
            mappings:
                translatable:
                    type: annotation
                    alias: GedmoDocument
                    prefix: Gedmo\Translatable\Document
                    # make sure vendor library location is correct
                    dir: "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/gedmo/doctrine-extensions/lib/Gedmo/Translatable/Document"

This also shows, how to make mappings based on single manager. All what differs is that Document instead of Entity is used. I haven't tested it with mongo though.

Note: extension repository contains all documentation you may need to understand how you can use it in your projects.

Alternative over configuration

You can use StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle which is a wrapper of these extensions

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure there are no *.orm.yml or *.orm.xml files for your Entities in your bundles Resources/config/doctrine directory. With those files in place the annotations won't be taken into account.
