MySQL Workbench Schema Exporter for Doctrine2 Annotations

ATTENTION

This fork will only focus on Doctrine 2 Annotation (http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/reference/annotations-reference.html) exports for use in Symfony 2 projects.

Main changes for this fork

Option to generate base classes
Other multi reference handling. Given foreign key is used instead of a naming convention.

Prerequisites

PHP 5.3+
Composer to install the dependencies

Command Line Interface (CLI)

There is a new CLI to simplify the export process named mwbs-export.php, you can look under the cli folder. The CLI has feature to customize export configuration before exporting. By default, CLI application will use config file export.json located in the current directory to supply the parameter if it find it. To disable this behaviour, see the option below.

The syntax of CLI:

php cli/export.php [options] FILE [DEST]

Where:

options:
- --export=type, choose the result of the export, currently available types:
  - doctrine2-annotation, Doctrine 2.0 Annotation classes
- --config=file, read export parameters from file (in JSON format)
- --saveconfig, save export parameters to file export.json, later can be used as value for --config=file
- --list-exporter, show all available exporter
- --no-auto-config, disable automatic config file lookup
- --zip, compress the result
- --help, show the usage (or suppress any parameters)
FILE, the mwb file to export
DEST, the destination directory (optional), if not specified current directory assumed

Sample usage:

php cli/export.php --export=doctrine2-annotation example/data/test.mwb ./generated
php cli/export.php --zip example/data/test.mwb

Sample export paramaters (JSON) for doctrine2-annotation:

{
    "export": "doctrine2-annotation",
    "zip": false,
    "dir": "temp",
    "params": {
        "generateBaseClasses": true,
        "backupExistingFile": true,
        "skipPluralNameChecking": false,
        "enhanceManyToManyDetection": true,
        "bundleNamespace": "",
        "entityNamespace": "",
        "repositoryNamespace": "",
        "useAnnotationPrefix": "ORM\\",
        "useAutomaticRepository": true,
        "indentation": 4,
        "filename": "%entity%.%extension%",
        "quoteIdentifier": false
    }
}

Exporter Options

Exporter options

indentation

The indentation size for generated code.
useTabs

Use tabs for indentation instead of spaces. Setting this option will ignore the indentation-option
filename

The output filename format, use the following tag %schema%, %table%, %entity%, and %extension% to allow the filename to be replaced with contextual data. Default is %entity%.%extension%.
skipPluralNameChecking

Skip checking the plural name of model and leave as is, useful for non English table names. Default is false.
backupExistingFile

If target already exists create a backup before replacing the content. Default is true.
enhanceManyToManyDetection

If enabled, many to many relations between tables will be added to generated code. Default is true.
logToConsole

If enabled, output the log to console. Default is false.
logFile

If specified, output the log to a file. If this option presence, option logToConsole will be ignored instead. Default is empty.
generateBaseClasses

Generate Entity Base Classes
useAnnotationPrefix

Doctrine annotation prefix. Default is ORM\.
useAutomaticRepository

See above.
bundleNamespace

See above.
entityNamespace

See above.
repositoryNamespace

See above.
skipGetterAndSetter

Don't generate columns getter and setter. Default is false.
generateEntitySerialization

Generate method __sleep() to include only real columns when entity is serialized. Default is true.
quoteIdentifier

If this option is enabled, all table names and column names will be quoted using backtick (`). Usefull when the table name or column name contains reserved word. Default is false.

MySQL-Workbench Comment behavior

{MwbExporter:external}true{/MwbExporter:external} (applied to Table, View)

Mark table/view as external to skip table/view code generation. For Doctrine use {d:external}true{/d:external} instead.
{d:bundleNamespace}AcmeBundle{/d:bundleNamespace} (applied to Table)

Override bundleNamespace option.
{d:m2m}false{/d:m2m} (applied to Table)

MySQL Workbench schema exporter tries to automatically guess which tables are many-to-many mapping tables and will not generate entity classes for these tables. A table is considered a mapping table, if it contains exactly two foreign keys to different tables and those tables are not many-to-many mapping tables.

Sometimes this guessing is incorrect for you. But you can add a hint in the comment of the table, to show that it is no mapping table. Just use "{d:m2m}false{/d:m2m}" anywhere in the comment of the table.
{d:unidirectional}true{/d:unidirectional} (applied to ForeignKey)

All foreign keys will result in a bidirectional relation by default. If you only want a unidirectional relation, add a flag to the comment of the foreign key.
{d:owningSide}true{/d:owningSide} (applied to ForeignKey)

In a bi-directional many-to-many mapping table the owning side of the relation is randomly selected. If you add this hint to one foreign key of the m2m-table, you can define the owning side for Doctrine.
{d:cascade}persist, merge, remove, detach, all{/d:cascade} (applied to ForeignKey)

You can specify Doctrine cascade options as a comment on a foreign key. The will be generated into the Annotation. (Reference)
{d:fetch}EAGER{/d:fetch} (applied to ForeignKey)

You can specify the fetch type for relations in the comment of a foreign key. (EAGER or LAZY, doctrine default is LAZY)
{d:orphanRemoval}true{/d:orphanRemoval} (applied to ForeignKey)

Another option you can set in the comments of foreign key. (Reference)
