About the project

The library is designed to offer you a functionality of loading database fixtures from files. It supports different file formats. The library can be extended and adapted in your projects.

Current version is still in progress. The most important of non-supported (yet!) functionality is Many-To-Many relation. It will be implemented in next version. However, for simple model structure the library works well.

Installation

The preferred method of installation is via Packagist and Composer. Installation is very simple:

Run the following command to install the package and add it as a requirement to your project's composer.json:

composer require tbajorek/doctrine-file-fixtures-bundle

Add this line:

Tbajorek\DoctrineFileFixturesBundle\DoctrineFileFixturesBundle::class => ['all' => true]

to array in config/bundles.php file in your project to register the bundle.

Library is provided with some default configuration, so it's not required to define it. However, you can change it to meet your expectations. Read more about configuration HERE.

Usage

The library is used from command line. It adds some commands to your project.

Loading the fixtures

To load the fixtures from file to database please just execute the following command:

bin/console doctrine:file-fixtures:load
