SymfonyExtensions
=================

[](#symfonyextensions)

This library adds some simple functionality that I find helpful when creating Symfony 2 applications.

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

[](#installation)

To use this library, simply add **SymfonyExtensions** to your `composer.json`:

```
{
    "require": {
        "blake/symfony-extensions": "*"
    }
}
```

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

For now, this library provides some base classes that you can extend to get some added functionality.

### Blake\\SymfonyExtensions\\Controller\\Controller

[](#blakesymfonyextensionscontrollercontroller)

- Provides a `#getRepository($className)` method that is a shortcut for `#getDoctrine()->getRepository($className)`

### Blake\\SymfonyExtensions\\Entity\\Entity

[](#blakesymfonyextensionsentityentity)

- Provides magic getters and setters so you don't need to generate and maintain them
    - **E.g.** `getName()` will return the value of `$name` if it exists
    - *Properties can be ignored by prepending them with an underscore (`_`)*
