In this tutorial we will see how to take our first steps with Doctrine, a data mapper pattern implementation that is part of the Symfony php framework, but can also be used on its own.

This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://linuxconfig.org/introduction-to-the-doctrine-orm-and-data-mapper-pattern-in-php

Thanks, that great and simple.
Now, the most difficult is to retrieve all posts from the Author entity.
If i remember, you must add an ArrayCollection empty in the constructor and add getPosts(), setPosts(), AddPosts() and removePosts() to be efficients between Author and Posts Entities.
I don’t know if this can be added automatically by the command “doctrine orm:generate-entities” after the “OneToMany”.

Yes, you are correct: using orm:generate-entities will also take care of generating the constructor, which will include the initialization of ArrayCollection objects. The methods you mentioned will also be automatically generated.

Hi, thanks for great tutorial.

For anyone interested in Doctrine2, we have created ormcheatsheet (dot) com where we put all available Doctrine2 ORM keywords together with examples.

And for larger projects we have created Skipper - skipper18 (dot) com, it’s visual ORM editor which allows you to import/export any Doctrine project to visual representation and completely edit it in the Gui. After that, export changes back to model (XML/YML/Annotations are supproted).
