Doctrine Postgres ULID
======================

[](#doctrine-postgres-ulid)

Doctrine DBAL column type for Postgres pgx\_ulid extension.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

Technically, this can (for now) be used with any DB type that is `ulid` in the DB. However, this will probably diverge in the future.

This is designed to work with the Postgresql extension [pgx\_ulid](https://github.com/pksunkara/pgx_ulid).

The pgx\_ulid extension or some other extension that provides the `ulid` column type to Postgres must be installed for this to work.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Symfony

[](#symfony)

```
# config/packages/doctrine.yaml
doctrine:
    dbal:
        types:
            pgx_ulid: \Dragonwize\Doctrine\Type\PgxUlidType
```

### Doctrine Direct

[](#doctrine-direct)

For use in Symfony consider using symfony/doctrine-bridge
---------------------------------------------------------

[](#for-use-in-symfony-consider-using-symfonydoctrine-bridge)

[symfony/doctrine-bridge](https://github.com/symfony/doctrine-bridge) provides a ULID Doctrine DBAL type already and it works in more DB's and situations. The doctrine-bridge version is great if you need the flexibility it provides.

This `ulid` type is desgined for simplicity in a specific scenario.

- You must be using a DB that uses the `ulid` column type. (eg. Postgres with pgx\_ulid)
- That type must be returned as a standard 26 char string.
- You must provide the ULID genaration. [symfony/uid component](https://github.com/symfony/uid) is one option for this. @todo Later this will support using DB based generation.

Under those conditions we can use a simple string type instead of an object as the PHP value which greatly simplifies value handling in many scenarios.
