Introduction

This small bundle give you the ability to build generic Entity Managers for your Symfony Application (2.7 ~ .3.4). The goal is to make managers for all of your entities like Sensio Symfony Best Practices recommend it.

Advantages

Make a manager for an entity permit to lighten your Controller. All the scope (CRUD Create Read Update Delete) of your entity will be managed behind your Entity Manager.

This is useful for big projects or even small/medium projects. Every creation will call the manager like every select, update or delete.

Goal

It's frequent that a team want to make entity managers, but have some technical difficulties. This bundle give you an abstraction to make all your Entity Managers to the same format and already with CRUD methods.

Use

Make your Entity Manager

For this example, we will take "MyPersonalEntity" class wich is an Doctrine Entity in our Symfony Project. Its class repository is "MyPersonalEntityRepository". Waw you didn't expect it. No ?

Our Entity will have an id, a label, a relation with another entity & getters/setters for it.

So let's see interresting things :

I Want to have a manager who dispatch & make job all around my entity. All the CRUD. So lets create our own manager class :

In :

MyBundle
    Entity
        MyPersonalEntity.php
        ...
    Manager
        MyPersonalEntityManager.php
    Repository
        MyPersonalEntityRepository.php
        ...

Declare for easy use, your manager as a Symfony service :

And its all ! Your entity manager is created, it have allready CRUD methods :
