Installation and configuration ------------------------------ [](#installation-and-configuration) Using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) add the bundle to your dependencies using the require command: `composer require bravesheep/database-url-bundle:dev-master`. ### Add the bundle to your AppKernel [](#add-the-bundle-to-your-appkernel) Add the bundle in your `app/AppKernel.php`. **Note**: in order for the parameters defined by this bundle to be picked up by Doctrine, you need to include this bundle before including the `Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\DoctrineBundle`bundle. ``` public function registerBundles() { return array( // ... new Bravesheep\DatabaseUrlBundle\BravesheepDatabaseUrlBundle(), // ... ); } ``` ### Configure which urls should be rewritten to parameters [](#configure-which-urls-should-be-rewritten-to-parameters) For this bundle to work you need to specify which urls need to be rewritten to basic parameters. This bundle can handle any number of urls by configuring the correct properties under `bravesheep_database_url.urls`. Take a look at this example configuration: ``` bravesheep_database_url: urls: default: url: %database_url% prefix: database_ ``` In this case we take the value of the `database_url` parameter and create parameters from it prefixed with `database_`. Usage ----- [](#usage) Take a look at this `parameters.yml.dist` which is distributed by the Symfony2 Standard Edition: ``` parameters: database_driver: pdo_mysql database_host: 127.0.0.1 database_port: ~ database_name: symfony database_user: root database_password: ~ mailer_transport: smtp mailer_host: 127.0.0.1 mailer_user: ~ mailer_password: ~ locale: en secret: ThisTokenIsNotSoSecretChangeIt debug_toolbar: true debug_redirects: false use_assetic_controller: true ``` As you can see there is a grand total of 6 parameters required for just specifying the database connection. If we could instead use a URL for specifying the database this might be reduced to just this: ``` parameters: database_url: mysql://root@127.0.0.1/symfony mailer_transport: smtp mailer_host: 127.0.0.1 mailer_user: ~ mailer_password: ~ locale: en secret: ThisTokenIsNotSoSecretChangeIt debug_toolbar: true debug_redirects: false use_assetic_controller: true ``` This is exactly what the BravesheepDatabaseUrlBundle is supposed to do. The example configuration in the previous section reads this `database_url` parameter and creates the individual `database_driver`, `database_host`, `database_port`, `database_name`, `database_user` and `database_password`. In general this bundle takes any database url and creates the following parameters, prefixed with the prefix you specify: `driver`, `host`, `port`, `name`, `user`, `password`, `path` and `memory`. The `path` and `memory` variables are used to indicate the SQLite path and a boolean indicating whether to use an in-memory SQLite database respectively. ### Accepted urls [](#accepted-urls) URLs are generally formatted in `scheme://user:password@host:port/database` format. The following schemes are understood: - `postgres`, `postgresql`, `pgsql` and `pdo_pgsql` for the `pdo_pgsql` (PostgreSQL) driver - `mysql` and `pdo_mysql` for the `pdo_mysql` (MySQL) driver - `sqlite` and `pdo_sqlite` for the `pdo_sqlite` (SQLite) driver - `mssql` and `pdo_mssql` for the `pdo_mssql` (MSSQL) driver Username and password can be omitted if they are not required, as well as the port in case it is the default. For SQLite the format to use is: - `sqlite:///path/to/sqlite/db` for an absolute path to a SQLite database. - `sqlite:///%kernel.root_dir%/to/db.sql?relative` for a relative path using the kernel.root\_dir as the base - `sqlite://:memory:` for an in-memory database ### Health Score 32 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance10 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity31 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity57 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 70% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
