README

This library adds some simple functionality that I find helpful when creating Symfony 2 applications.

Installation

To use this library, simply add SymfonyExtensions to your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "blake/symfony-extensions": "*"
    }
}

Documentation

For now, this library provides some base classes that you can extend to get some added functionality.

Blake\SymfonyExtensions\Controller\Controller

• Provides a #getRepository($className) method that is a shortcut for #getDoctrine()->getRepository($className)

Blake\SymfonyExtensions\Entity\Entity

• Provides magic getters and setters so you don't need to generate and maintain them
  • E.g. getName() will return the value of $name if it exists
  • Properties can be ignored by prepending them with an underscore (_)
