Using Doctrine (ORM) in a module

[SnefIT]

Hi,

 

What is the way to get ORM entities working in a module? Do you have to create the proxies yourself or is that done automatically?

 

Do I have to place them in a special directory?

Yes, for almost case, they are can be.

Are there any examples on how to start with Doctrine ORM in modules? Where to place the entities and stuff like that.

Hi,
I'm using Prestashop 1.7.5
To use Doctrine ORM in module there is some configuration must be edited in the "Project_dir/app/config/config.yml"

    orm:
        mappings:  # define custom mapping
            custom_mapping:
                type: annotation
                prefix: MyModule\Entity\  # define prefix to load your entityes from
                dir: "%kernel.project_dir%/modules/mymodule/src/Entity" # define directory to load your entityes from
                is_bundle: false # this is to tell orm that this is not a symfony bundle

so now after setting up your controllers and forms , you can take advantage of the full Symfony power in developing your module.

I know this is not a perfect solution, if any one has a way to do the same thing from the inside of the module that would be great
