Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In your unit tests that need an Entity Manager, use a `new \Firehed\Mocktrine\InMemoryEntityManager`. Done!

Any object with Doctrine's entity annotations (`@Entity`, `@Id`, `@Column`, etc) should work without modification.

This library aims to provide as much type information as possible, so that static analysis tools (such as PHPStan) work well without additional plugins.

### Mapping support

[](#mapping-support)

As of version 0.5, any mapping driver supported by Doctrine can be used with this library. The `InMemoryEntityManager` accepts the driver as an optional parameter.

```
- $em = new Mocktrine\InMemoryEntityManager();
+ $em = new Mocktrine\InMemoryEntityManager(
+     \Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\AttributeDriver(['src/Model']),
+ );
```

You can also grab the value directly from your Doctrine config:

```
$config = Setup::createAnnotationMetadataDriverConfiguration(...)
$driver = $config->getMetadataDriverImpl();
$em = new Mocktrine\InMemoryEntityManager($driver)
```

If a driver is not provided, it will default to either `SimpleAnnotationReader` or `AnnotationReader` that's used via `Setup::createAnnotationMetadataConfiguration`. The former will be preferred, but the class has been removed in `doctrine/annotations:2.0`; if your local dependencies allow that version then the latter will be used.

It is RECOMMENDED to always explicitly provide a driver, as that best matches Doctrine's own setup behavior. Future versions of this library may make this required.

Supported features
------------------

[](#supported-features)

The following methods on Doctrine's `EntityManagerInterface` should all work as expected:

- find
- persist
- remove
- merge
- flush
- getRepository
- getCache (will always return `null`)
- isOpen (will always return `true`)

All methods on the `ObjectRepository` (for various findBy operations) should also work, as well as the non-interface `count($criteria)` method. `ObjectRepository` also implements the `Selectable` interface (as `EntityRepository` does, which is the returned type from `EntityManager`), so it's also possible to use the `matching(Criteria)` method.

The following methods are **not** supported at this time:

- clear
- detach
- refresh
- getClassMetadata
- getMetadataFactory
- initializeObject
- contains
- getConnection
- getExpressionBuilder
- beginTransaction
- transactional
- commit
- rollback
- createQuery
- createNamedQuery
- createNativeQuery
- createNamedNativeQuery
- getReference
- getPartialReference
- close
- copy
- lock
- getEventManager
- getConfiguration
- getUnitOfWork
- getHydrator
- newHydrator
- getProxyFactory
- getFilters
- isFiltersStateClean
- hasFilters
