This is a replacement for the default repository structure of Doctrine ORM. This replacement implements a plugin architecture for extensisons to repositories.

For instance, if you need access to an encryption/decryption resource inside your repository you could implement it as a plugin accessible as

```
$this->plugin('encryption')->encrypt($value);
```

Why use this repository structure?
----------------------------------

[](#why-use-this-repository-structure)

The default repository for Doctrine ORM gives no access to resources outside Doctrine. And the Doctrine ORM Object Manager does not give access to a dependency injection container. So when your applications require more from their repositories the only option is to write your own dependency injection enabled repository factory. To create a standard way to organize this dependency injection repository factory: this is an acceptable solution.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Installation of this module uses composer. For composer documentation, please refer to [getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org/).

```
$ composer require api-skeletons/doctrine-repository
```

Once installed, add `ZF\Doctrine\Repository` to your list of modules inside `config/application.config.php` or `config/modules.config.php`.

> [](#laminas-component-installer)
>
> If you use [laminas-component-installer](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-component-installer), that plugin will install doctrine-repository as a module for you.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

No manual configuration is required to use this module.

This module makes these changes to your `doctrine.entitymanager.orm_default` configuration:

```
namespace ZF\Doctrine\Repository;
...
    'doctrine' => [
        'configuration' => [
            'orm_default' => [
                'repository_factory' => RepositoryFactory::class,
                'default_repository_class_name' => ObjectRepository::class,
            ],
        ],
    ],

```

If your application already has a default repository class you can edit it to implement `ZF\Doctrine\Repository\ObjectRepositoryInterface` and the RepositoryFactory can use it.

Creating a Plugin
-----------------

[](#creating-a-plugin)

The config key for the repository plugin service locator is `api-skeletons-doctrine-repository-plugin`. Your plugin must implement `ZF\Doctrine\Repository\Plugin\PluginInterface`

The `__construct` of your Plugin will take an array including the repository and any other parameters. Access to the repository gives you access to the ObjectManager.

Use the [testing boolean plugin](https://github.com/API-Skeletons/doctrine-repository/blob/master/test/asset/module/Doctrine/src/Plugin/BooleanPlugin.php)and [testing boolean plugin configuration](https://github.com/API-Skeletons/doctrine-repository/blob/master/test/asset/module/Doctrine/config/module.config.php)as a template.
