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 use "money" as a 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 customisations).

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 customise 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.
