doctrine2-namespace-namingstrategy

Highly configurable Doctrine2 naming strategy incorporating class namespace into names. This class generates names in a predictable fashion, eliminating the need to take database schema into account when naming objects. This is especially useful when dealing with large hierarchical entity graphs with class name duplication.

Installion

composer

Add the "creof/doctrine2-namespace-namingstrategy" package into your composer.json file.

Usage

Doctrine

To use the naming scheme a new instance will need to be created and passed to the entity manager configuration object.

Symfony

Create a service in your app config and pass the service to the Doctrine entity manager:

# Doctrine Configuration
doctrine:
    orm:
        naming_strategy: namespace_naming_strategy

services:
    namespace_naming_strategy:
        class: CrEOF\Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\NamespaceNamingStrategy
        arguments:
            config:
                entityNamespaces:
                    - "Acme\Bundle\AcmeBundle"
                trimAbstract: true

To use the class constants you'll need to define the service in XML or lookup the integer values in the code.

Configuration

The NamespaceNamingStrategy constructor accepts an array containing one or more of the following options:

• trimAbstract - Remove "Abstract" from all class names beginning with it. Default false.

• entityNamespaces - Array containing the root(s) of entity classes. These roots will be removed from generated names.

• namespaceSeparator - String used to separate namespace path components when generating names. Default is "_" (underscore).

• joinColumnSeparator - String used to separate the reference column name from the property name. Default is "" (empty).

• joinTableSeparator - String used to separate entity names when generating join table names. Default is "_" (underscore).

• trimFallback - One of the two FALLBACK class constants. This setting defines the behavior when no matching namespace in entityNamespaces can be found for a class.

• case - One of the three CASE class constants. This setting defines whether names are generated in mixed, lower, or upper case.

• referenceColumnName - This defines the name used/concatenated when generating reference column names. Default is "id".

• joinColumnOrder - One of the two ORDER class constants. This defines whether the reference column name is prepended or appended to the entity name.

• joinTableOrder - same as joinColumnOrder but for join tables.

• splitCamelCase - Use in conjunction with camelCaseSeparator. When true camel cased names will be split using the separator. Default false.

• camelCaseSeparator - String used to split camel cased words when splitCamelCase is true. Default is "" (empty).

Caveats

This is a work-in-progress and probably not production ready. Use at your own risk.
