Dynamic ORM Value Bundle

A Symfony + Doctrine bundle to allow dynamic values on entity persisting.

This bundle will allow you to configure dynamic values to be created for entities when they are persisted in the application.

Install

Simply composer require dualmedia/dynamic-orm-value-bundle

Then add the bundle to your config/bundles.php file like so

return [
    Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle::class => ['all' => true],
    // other bundles ...
    DualMedia\DynamicORMValueBundle\DynamicORMValueBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Setup

Mark the properties you'd like to generate dynamically upon persisting with #[DynamicValue] with appropriate options.

To let the bundle discover your entities you must create a symfony configuration file (by default it's yaml) and add any required fields.

A sample configuration is provided below

# dm_dynamic_orm.yaml
dm_dynamic_orm:
  entity_paths: # list of directories that contain your entities
    - '%kernel.project_dir%/src/SimpleApi/Entity'
    - '%kernel.project_dir%/src/Common/Entity'
    - '%kernel.project_dir%/src/ExternalApi/Entity'

Entity example

Say you have an order entity, but you use a numerical id for easy tracking. But you also want to show a "simple" order id for your users. This value obviously needs to be generated, which is fine if you have 1 entity like this. But what if it's your order, your internal transaction stuff, a username, and more?

This bundle solves this repeating code issue and allows for a nice way to configure it.

#[ORM\Entity]
class MyOrder {
    #[ORM\Id]
    #[ORM\Column(name: 'id', type: 'integer')]
    #[ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy: 'AUTO')]
    private int|null $id;

    // your other fields
    
    #[ORM\Column]
    #[DynamicValue(options: ['length' => 10])] // 8 is default
    private string|null $publicId = null;
}

Your field publicId will now be automatically generated when the entity is being persisted. You don't need to worry about uniqueness, as it's checked during generation.
