README
Laravel Doctrine ORM connector package enabling seamless integration of Doctrine ORM within Laravel applications.
Features
- Easy setup of Doctrine EntityManager in Laravel service container
- Support for custom Doctrine types (e.g., Ramsey UUID)
- Configurable metadata directories and connection options
- Redis cache integration for metadata and proxies
- Development mode support for proxy generation
- Clean Laravel service provider design
Installation
Require the package via Composer:
composer require initialstacker/dorch
Publish the configuration file:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=doctrine
Configuration
Configure your database and cache settings in config/doctrine.php. Example drivers supported:
pdo_mysql(MySQL)pdo_pgsql(PostgreSQL)pdo_sqlite(SQLite)pdo_sqlsrv(SQL Server)oci8(Oracle)
Set your connection according to preferred driver and database credentials.
Manual Service Provider Registration
Open your bootstrap/providers.php:
<?php
return [
// Other service providers...
Initialstacker\Dorch\DoctrineConnector::class,
];
This step is necessary because Laravel loads service providers listed in this array during application bootstrapping. Without adding your service provider class here, your package will not be connected to Laravel.
Usage
Once installed and configured, the Doctrine EntityManager can be resolved from Laravel's service container:
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManagerInterface;
$entityManager = app(EntityManagerInterface::class);
// Use $entityManager to persist, find, and query entities
