PHPrimitives - Doctrine
-----------------------

[](#phprimitives---doctrine)

A set of Doctrine DBAL types to map any [PHPrimitive](https://github.com/n-fasano/phprimitives) with almost no boilerplate.

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require fasano/phprimitives-doctrine
```

### Creating a Custom Type

[](#creating-a-custom-type)

Extend the abstract type that matches your primitive's scalar type, then implement two methods:

```
use Fasano\PHPrimitives\Doctrine\StringPrimitiveType;

final class EmailType extends StringPrimitiveType
{
    public function getName(): string
    {
        return 'email';
    }

    protected function getPrimitiveClass(): string
    {
        return Email::class;
    }
}
```

### Registering Types

[](#registering-types)

Register your custom types, as usual:

```
use Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type;

Type::addType('email', EmailType::class);
Type::addType('age',   AgeType::class);
Type::addType('status', StatusType::class);
```

**Symfony** — register via `config/packages/doctrine.yaml` instead:

```
doctrine:
    dbal:
        types:
            email:  Infra\Doctrine\Type\EmailType
            age:    Infra\Doctrine\Type\AgeType
            status: Infra\Doctrine\Type\StatusType
```

### Using The Types

[](#using-the-types)

Reference the type name in your `#[Column]` attribute:

```
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

#[ORM\Entity]
class User
{
    #[ORM\Column(type: 'email')]
    public Email $email;

    #[ORM\Column(type: 'age')]
    public Age $age;

    #[ORM\Column(type: 'status')]
    public Status $status;
}
```

Doctrine will call `construct()` when hydrating from the database and `deconstruct()` when persisting, so your domain invariants are enforced on every read and write.
