Money bundle

The purpose of this bundle is straightforward: using the moneyphp/money library with a single currency.

The typical use is when you need to map an amount of money to a database field. You could embed the Money object in your entity, but this is not perfectly working, because Doctrine doesn't support nullable embeddable objects.

Moreover, you probably want to use a single currency in your project, so you don't want to use a useless column for the currency itself.

With this bundle, you can just use "money" as type. It's up to you to choose if your property is nullable or not (as for any other Doctrine mapping, the default option is not nullable). You're done: your property will be mapped to a Money EUR object (see below for customizations).

Installation

Execute composer require garak/money-bundle.

Mapping example

Form type extension

This bundle configures a form type extension for the Symfony MoneyType, which does two things:

• set the default option of divisor to 100 (which should be the value to use with most currencies)
• cast the submitted value to an integer, which is the format expected by moneyphp/money. The submitted value can be cast directly to a Money object, by configuring the bundle option money_transform to true

You don't need to do anything to use this extension, which is automatically applied.

Twig extension

This bundle exposes a Twig filter called money. It's useful to format the value of your money property.

Example:

If the value is nullable, you can use the nullable_money filter instead:

Customizations

You can use a currency different from EUR. Also, you can customize the separators used by the Twig extension, and have the symbol after the amount (with a space, if you want). Finally, you can enable the transformation of the submitted value to a Money object in the form type extension.
