The ramsey/uuid-doctrine package provides the ability to use ramsey/uuid as a Doctrine field type.
This project adheres to a Contributor Code of Conduct. By participating in this project and its community, you are expected to uphold this code.
The preferred method of installation is via Packagist and Composer. Run
the following command to install the package and add it as a requirement to
your project's composer.json
:
composer require ramsey/uuid-doctrine
To configure Doctrine to use ramsey/uuid as a field type, you'll need to set up the following in your bootstrap:
\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::addType('uuid', 'Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidType');
In Symfony:
# app/config/config.yml
doctrine:
dbal:
types:
uuid: Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidType
In Zend Framework:
<?php
// module.config.php
use Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidType;
return [
'doctrine' => [
'configuration' => [
'orm_default' => [
'types' => [
UuidType::NAME => UuidType::class,
Then, in your models, you may annotate properties by setting the @Column
type to uuid
, and defining a custom generator of Ramsey\Uuid\UuidGenerator
.
Doctrine will handle the rest.
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* @ORM\Entity
* @ORM\Table(name="products")
*/
class Product
{
/**
* @var \Ramsey\Uuid\UuidInterface
*
* @ORM\Id
* @ORM\Column(type="uuid", unique=true)
* @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="CUSTOM")
* @ORM\CustomIdGenerator(class="Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidGenerator")
*/
protected $id;
public function getId()
{
return $this->id;
}
}
If you use the XML Mapping instead of PHP annotations.
<id name="id" column="id" type="uuid">
<generator strategy="CUSTOM"/>
<custom-id-generator class="Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidGenerator"/>
</id>
You can also use the YAML Mapping.
id:
id:
type: uuid
generator:
strategy: CUSTOM
customIdGenerator:
class: Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidGenerator
In the previous example, Doctrine will create a database column of type CHAR(36)
,
but you may also use this library to store UUIDs as binary strings. The
UuidBinaryType
helps accomplish this.
In your bootstrap, place the following:
\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::addType('uuid_binary', 'Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidBinaryType');
$entityManager->getConnection()->getDatabasePlatform()->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('uuid_binary', 'binary');
In Symfony:
# app/config/config.yml
doctrine:
dbal:
types:
uuid_binary: Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidBinaryType
mapping_types:
uuid_binary: binary
Then, when annotating model class properties, use uuid_binary
instead of uuid
:
@Column(type="uuid_binary")
More suitable if you want to use UUIDs as primary key. Note that this can cause unintended effects if
- decoding bytes that were not generated using this method
- another code (that isn't aware of this method) attempts to decode the resulting bytes
More information in this Percona article and UUID Talk by Ben Ramsey (starts at slide 61).
\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::addType('uuid_binary_ordered_time', 'Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidBinaryOrderedTimeType');
$entityManager->getConnection()->getDatabasePlatform()->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('uuid_binary_ordered_time', 'binary');
In Symfony:
# app/config/config.yml
doctrine:
dbal:
types:
uuid_binary_ordered_time: Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidBinaryOrderedTimeType
mapping_types:
uuid_binary_ordered_time: binary
Then, in your models, you may annotate properties by setting the @Column
type to uuid_binary_ordered_time
, and defining a custom generator of Ramsey\Uuid\UuidOrderedTimeGenerator
.
Doctrine will handle the rest.
/**
* @Entity
* @Table(name="products")
*/
class Product
{
/**
* @var \Ramsey\Uuid\UuidInterface
*
* @Id
* @Column(type="uuid_binary_ordered_time", unique=true)
* @GeneratedValue(strategy="CUSTOM")
* @CustomIdGenerator(class="Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidOrderedTimeGenerator")
*/
protected $id;
public function getId()
{
return $this->id;
}
}
If you use the XML Mapping instead of PHP annotations.
<id name="id" column="id" type="uuid_binary_ordered_time">
<generator strategy="CUSTOM"/>
<custom-id-generator class="Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidOrderedTimeGenerator"/>
</id>
