README

Use Atlas with Doctrine to manage your database schema as code. By connecting your Doctrine models to Atlas, you can define and edit your schema directly in PHP. Atlas will then automatically plan and apply database schema migrations for you, eliminating the need to write migrations manually.

Atlas brings automated CI/CD workflows to your database, along with built-in support for testing, linting, schema drift detection, and schema monitoring. It also allows you to extend Doctrine with advanced database objects such as triggers, row-level security, and custom functions that are not supported natively.

Use-cases

1. Declarative migrations - Use the Terraform-like atlas schema apply --env doctrine command to apply your Doctrine schema to the database.
2. Automatic migration planning - Use atlas migrate diff --env doctrine to automatically plan database schema changes and generate a migration from the current database version to the desired version defined by your Doctrine schema.

Requirements

• DBAL - composer require doctrine/dbal:^4

Installation

Install Atlas from macOS or Linux by running:

curl -sSf https://atlasgo.sh | sh

See atlasgo.io for more installation options.

Install the provider by running:

composer require ariga/atlas-provider-doctrine:^4

Doctrine Console Command

If all of your Doctrine entities exist under single directory, you can add the atlas-provider command to the Doctrine Console file:

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php

use Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Console\ConsoleRunner;
use Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Console\EntityManagerProvider\SingleManagerProvider;

require 'bootstrap.php';
+ require "vendor/ariga/atlas-provider-doctrine/src/Command.php";

ConsoleRunner::run(
    new SingleManagerProvider($entityManager),
+   [new AtlasCommand()]
);

Then in your project directory, create a new file named atlas.hcl with the following contents:

data "external_schema" "doctrine" {
  program = [
    "php",
    "bin/doctrine", // path to your Doctrine Console file
    "atlas:schema",
    "--path", "./path/to/entities",
    "--dialect", "mysql" // mariadb | postgres | sqlite | sqlserver
  ]
}

env "doctrine" {
  src = data.external_schema.doctrine.url
  dev = "docker://mysql/8/dev"
  migration {
    dir = "file://migrations"
  }
  format {
    migrate {
      diff = "{{ sql . \"  \" }}"
    }
  }
}

As Symfony Bundle

If you are using a Symfony project, you can use the provider as a Symfony bundle.

add the following bundle to your config/bundles.php file:

<?php

require "vendor/autoload.php";

return [
    ...
+  Ariga\AtlasDoctrineBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Then in your project directory, create a new file named atlas.hcl with the following contents:

data "external_schema" "doctrine" {
  program = [
    "php",
    "bin/console", 
    "atlas:schema"
  ]
}

env "doctrine" {
  src = data.external_schema.doctrine.url
  dev = "docker://mysql/8/dev"
  migration {
    dir = "file://migrations"
  }
  format {
    migrate {
      diff = "{{ sql . \"  \" }}"
    }
  }
}

As PHP Script

If you have multiple folders with Doctrine entities, you might want to use the provider as a PHP script.

create a new file named atlas.php with the following contents:

<?php

require "vendor/autoload.php";
require "vendor/ariga/atlas-provider-doctrine/src/LoadEntities.php";

// `DumpDDL` accepts an array of paths to your Doctrine entities and the database dialect(mysql | mariadb | postgres | sqlite | sqlserver).
print (DumpDDL(["./path/to/first/entities", "./path/to/more/entities"], "mysql"));

Then in your project directory, create a new file named atlas.hcl with the following contents:

data "external_schema" "doctrine" {
  program = [
    "php",
    "atlas.php"
  ]
}

env "doctrine" {
  src = data.external_schema.doctrine.url
  dev = "docker://mysql/8/dev"
  migration {
    dir = "file://migrations"
  }
  format {
    migrate {
      diff = "{{ sql . \"  \" }}"
    }
  }
}

Usage

Once you have the provider installed, you can use it to apply your Doctrine schema to the database:

Apply

You can use the atlas schema apply command to plan and apply a migration of your database to your current Doctrine schema. This works by inspecting the target database and comparing it to the Doctrine schema and creating a migration plan. Atlas will prompt you to confirm the migration plan before applying it to the database.

atlas schema apply --env doctrine -u "mysql://root:password@localhost:3306/mydb"

Where the -u flag accepts the URL to the target database.

Diff

Atlas supports a version migration workflow, where each change to the database is versioned and recorded in a migration file. You can use the atlas migrate diff command to automatically generate a migration file that will migrate the database from its latest revision to the current Doctrine schema.

atlas migrate diff --env doctrine 

Supported Databases

The provider supports the following databases:

• MySQL
• MariaDB
• PostgreSQL
• SQLite
• Microsoft SQL Server
