DoctrineJsonFunctions

A set of extensions to Doctrine 2 that add support for json query functions. +Functions are available for MySQL, MariaDb and PostgreSQL.

DB	Functions
MySQL	JSON_APPEND, JSON_ARRAY, JSON_ARRAY_APPEND, JSON_ARRAY_INSERT, JSON_CONTAINS, JSON_CONTAINS_PATH, JSON_DEPTH, JSON_EXTRACT, JSON_INSERT, JSON_KEYS, JSON_LENGTH, JSON_MERGE, JSON_OBJECT, JSON_QUOTE, JSON_REMOVE, JSON_REPLACE, JSON_SEARCH, JSON_SET, JSON_TYPE, JSON_UNQUOTE, JSON_VALID

Installation

The recommended way to install DoctrineJsonFunctions is through Composer. Add the following dependency to your composer.json

{
	"require": {
		"scienta/doctrine-json-functions": "~4.0"
	}
}

Alternatively, you can download the source code as a file and extract it.

Functions Registration

Doctrine 2 ORM

Doctrine 2 documentation: "DQL User Defined Functions"

<?php

use Scienta\DoctrineJsonFunctions\Query\AST\Functions\Mysql as DqlFunctions;

$config = new \Doctrine\ORM\Configuration();
$config->addCustomStringFunction(DqlFunctions\JsonExtract::FUNCTION_NAME, DqlFunctions\JsonExtract::class);
$config->addCustomStringFunction(DqlFunctions\JsonSearch::FUNCTION_NAME, DqlFunctions\JsonSearch::class);

$em = EntityManager::create($dbParams, $config);
$queryBuilder = $em->createQueryBuilder();

Symfony 2 & 3 with Doctrine bundle

Symfony documentation: "DoctrineBundle Configuration"

# app/config/config.yml
doctrine:
    orm:
        entity_managers:
            some_em: # usually also "default"
                dql:
                    string_functions:
                        JSON_EXTRACT: Scienta\DoctrineJsonFunctions\Query\AST\Functions\Mysql\JsonExtract
                        JSON_SEARCH: Scienta\DoctrineJsonFunctions\Query\AST\Functions\Mysql\JsonSearch

Usage

Mind the comparison when creating the expression and escape the parameters to be valid JSON.

Using Mysql 5.7+ JSON operators

$queryBuilder
  ->select('c')
  ->from('Customer', 'c')
  ->where("JSON_CONTAINS(c.attributes, :certificates, '$.certificates') = 1");
 
$result = $q->execute(array(
  'certificates' => '"BIO"',
));

Using PostgreSQL 9.3+ JSON operators

$queryBuilder
  ->select('c')
  ->from('Customer', 'c')
  ->where("JSON_GET_TEXT(c.attributes, 'gender') = :gender");
 
 $result = $q->execute(array(
    'gender' => 'male',
 ));

DQL Functions

The library provides this set of DQL functions.

Mysql 5.7+ JSON operators

• JSON_ARRAY_APPEND(json_doc, path, val[, path, val] ...)
  • Appends values to the end of the indicated arrays within a JSON document and returns the result.
• JSON_ARRAY_INSERT(json_doc, path, val[, path, val] ...)
  • Updates a JSON document, inserting into an array within the document and returning the modified document.
• JSON_ARRAY([val[, val] ...])
  • Evaluates a (possibly empty) list of values and returns a JSON array containing those values.
• JSON_CONTAINS_PATH(json_doc, one_or_all, path[, path] ...)
  • Returns 0 or 1 to indicate whether a JSON document contains data at a given path or paths.
• JSON_CONTAINS(json_doc, val[, path])
  • Returns 0 or 1 to indicate whether a specific value is contained in a target JSON document, or, if a path argument is given, at a specific path within the target document.
• JSON_DEPTH(json_doc)
  • Returns the maximum depth of a JSON document.
• JSON_EXTRACT(json_doc, path[, path] ...)
  • Returns data from a JSON document, selected from the parts of the document matched by the path arguments.
• JSON_INSERT(json_doc, path, val[, path, val] ...)
  • Inserts data into a JSON document and returns the result.
• JSON_KEYS(json_doc[, path])
  • Returns the keys from the top-level value of a JSON object as a JSON array, or, if a path argument is given, the top-level keys from the selected path.
• JSON_LENGTH(json_doc[, path])
  • Returns the length of JSON document, or, if a path argument is given, the length of the value within the document identified by the path.
• JSON_MERGE(json_doc, json_doc[, json_doc] ...)
  • Merges two or more JSON documents and returns the merged result.
• JSON_OBJECT([key, val[, key, val] ...])
  • Evaluates a (possibly empty) list of key/value pairs and returns a JSON object containing those pairs.
• JSON_QUOTE(json_val)
  • Quotes a string as a JSON value by wrapping it with double quote characters and escaping interior quote and other characters, then returning the result as a utf8mb4 string.
• JSON_REMOVE(json_doc, path[, path] ...)
  • Removes data from a JSON document and returns the result.
• JSON_REPLACE(json_doc, path, val[, path, val] ...)
  • Replaces existing values in a JSON document and returns the result.
• JSON_SEARCH(json_doc, one_or_all, search_str[, escape_char[, path] ...])
  • Returns the path to the given string within a JSON document.
• JSON_SET(json_doc, path, val[, path, val] ...)
  • Inserts or updates data in a JSON document and returns the result.
• JSON_TYPE(json_val)
  • Returns a utf8mb4 string indicating the type of a JSON value.
• JSON_UNQUOTE(val)
  • Unquotes JSON value and returns the result as a utf8mb4 string.
• JSON_VALID(val)
  • Returns 0 or 1 to indicate whether a value is a valid JSON document.

MariaDb 10.2.3 JSON operators

• JSON_VALUE(json_doc, path)
  • Returns the scalar specified by the path. Returns NULL if there is no match.
• JSON_EXISTS(json_doc, path)
  • Determines whether a specified JSON value exists in the given data. Returns 1 if found, 0 if not, or NULL if any of the inputs were NULL.

PostgreSQL 9.3+ JSON operators

Basic support for JSON operators is implemented. This works even with Doctrine\DBAL v2.5. Official documentation of JSON operators.

• JSON_GET(jsondoc, path)

  • expands to jsondoc->path in case of numeric path (use with JSON arrays)
  • expands to jsondoc->'path' in case of non-numeric path (use with JSON objects)

• JSON_GET_TEXT(jsondoc, path)

  • expands to jsondoc->>path in case of numeric path (use with JSON arrays)
  • expands to jsondoc->>'path' in case of non-numeric path (use with JSON objects)

• JSON_GET_PATH(jsondoc, path)

  • expands to jsondoc#>'path'

• JSON_GET_PATH_TEXT(jsondoc, path)

  • expands to jsondoc#>>'path'

Please note that chaining of JSON operators is not supported.

Extendability and Database Support

Architecture

Platform function classes naming rule is:

Scienta\DoctrineJsonFunctions\Query\AST\Functions\$platformName\$functionName

Adding a new platform

To add support of new platform you just need to create new folder Scienta\DoctrineJsonFunctions\Query\AST\Functions\$platformName and implement required function there according to naming rules

Adding a new function

If you want to add new function to this library feel free to fork it and create pull request with your implementation. Please, remember to update documentation with your new functions.
