Doctrine Hydration Module

This module provides a configurable way to create new doctrine hydrators. By using the configurable API, it is easy to create a custom hydrator for any use case you want.

For ORM, the basic hydrator from the doctrine module is being used. It is possible to configure your own strategies for complex objects like referenced entities.

For MongoDB ODM, a specific hydrator is added. This hydrator will be able to handle Referenced documents and Embedded Documents. It is also possible to hydrate advanced documents with discriminator maps.

#Installation

Add to composer.json

"phpro/doctrine-hydration-module": "dev-master"

Add to application config

return array(
    'modules' => array(
        'Phpro\\DoctrineHydrationModule',
        // other libs...
    ),
    // Other config
);

Hydrator configuration

return array(
    'doctrine-hydrator' => array(
        'hydrator-manager-key' => array(
            'entity_class' => 'App\Entity\EntityClass',
            'object_manager' => 'doctrine.objectmanager.key.in.servicelocator',
            'by_value' => true,
            'use_generated_hydrator' => true, 
            'strategies' => [
                'fieldname' => 'custom.strategy.key.in.servicemanager',
            ],
        ),
    ),
);

use_generated_hydrator will only be used with mongoDB ODM and will use the generated hydrators instead of the Doctrine Module Hydrator. Strategies will not work when this option is set to true.

From here on, you can get the hydrator by calling get('hydrator-manager-key') on the HydratorManager.

#Custom strategies:

MongoDB ODM

DateTimeField: Used for DateTime objects
DefaultRelation: Leave the relation AS-IS. Does not perform any modifications on the field.
EmbeddedCollection: Used for embedded collections
EmbeddedField: Used for embedded fields
ReferencedCollection: Used for referenced collections
ReferencedField: Used for referenced fields.
EmbeddedReferenceCollection: This is a custom strategy that can be used in an API to display all fields in a referenced object. The hydration works as a regular referenced object.
EmbeddedReferenceField: This is a custom strategy that can be used in an API to display all fields in a referenced object. The hydration works as a regular referenced object.

Testing

This package is fully tested with Cs fixer and PhpUnit. The MongoDB tests require mongodb to be installed on your machine. You can skip these tests by adding a testsuite to the command:
