DoctrineExtraTypes
==================

[](#doctrineextratypes)

This project provides extra or replacement data types for Doctrine 2.

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

[](#installation)

The preferred method of installation is via Composer. Run the following command to install the package and add it as a requirement to your project's `composer.json`:

```
composer require gubler/doctrine-extra-types
```

Types
-----

[](#types)

### UTCDateTime

[](#utcdatetime)

The `UTCDateTimeType` is copied from the \[Doctrine ORM documentation\]\[doctine-docs-utc\] and converts `DateTime` object's timezone to UTC before storing them in the database.

#### Use

[](#use)

This *replaces* the existing Doctrine `datetime` type.

In Symfony:

```
# config/packages/doctrine.yaml
doctrine:
   dbal:
       types:
           datetime:
               class: Gubler\DoctrineExtraTypes\UTCDateTime\UTCDateTimeType
```

**Note:** This type *only* converts the DateTime when saving to the database. This *does not* convert the datetime back to the original timezone when reading form the database. You will need to convert the UTC datetime to whichever timezone you need.

After this, you can use the `datetime` Doctrine type normally and any DateTimes will be converted to UTC.

### Guid

[](#guid)

This project used to supply a GUID doctrine type. This is now provided by [gubler/guid-doctrine](https://github.com/gubler/guid-doctrine)
