Doctrine Enum Type
==================

[](#doctrine-enum-type)

[![Build Status](https://github.com/jdecool/enum-doctrine/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/jdecool/enum-doctrine/actions?query=workflow%3ACI)[![Latest Stable Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/3515e98a89ba6066acd902d77e626d3fca1a7433fe869538cdb0e9ba3b0cc5a0/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f6a6465636f6f6c2f656e756d2d646f637472696e652f762f737461626c652e706e67)](https://packagist.org/packages/jdecool/enum-doctrine)

This package provides a base implementation to define doctrine entity column types that are mapped to `JDecool\Enum\Enum` objects (of [`jdecool/enum`](https://github.com/jdecool/enum) package).

This is a port of [`acelaya/doctrine-enum-type`](https://github.com/acelaya/doctrine-enum-type).

Deprecated
----------

[](#deprecated)

⚠️ This project is no longer actively maintained.

Native enum arrived to PHP in version 8.1: If your project is running PHP 8.1+ or your library has it as a minimum requirement you should use it instead of this library.

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

[](#installation)

Install it using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require jdecool/enum-doctrine
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This package provides a `JDecool\Enum\Doctrine\EnumType` class that extends `Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type`. You can use it to easily map type names to concrete Enums.

The `EnumType` class will be used as the doctrine type for every property that is an enumeration.

```
use JDecool\Enum\Enum;

class MyEnum extends Enum
{
    public const ENUM_1 = 'value_1';
    protected const ENUM_2 = 'value_2';
    private const ENUM_3 = 'value_3';
}
```

Then, you can map the enum to your entity.

```
class User
{
    // ...

    /**
     * @var MyEnum
     *
     * @ORM\Column(type=MyEnum::class, length=10)
     */
    protected $action;

    // ...
}
```

The column type of the property is the FQCN of the `MyEnum` enum. To get this working, you have to register the concrete column types, using the `JDecool\Enum\Doctrine\EnumType::registerEnumType` static method.

```
// in bootstrapping code
use JDecool\Enum\Doctrine\EnumType;

EnumType::registerEnumType(MyEnum::class);

// Don't forget to register the enums for schema operations
$platform = $em->getConnection()->getDatabasePlatform();
$platform->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('VARCHAR', MyEnum::class);
```

Alternatively you can use the `JDecool\Enum\Doctrine\EnumType::registerEnumTypes`, which expects an array of enums to register.

```
// ...

use JDecool\Enum\Doctrine\EnumType;

EnumType::registerEnumTypes([
    MyEnum::class,
    'php_enum_type' => MyEnum::class,
]);
```

If you use Doctrine with Symfony:

```
# config/packages/doctrine.yaml
doctrine:
    dbal:
        types:
            uuid: JDecool\Enum\Doctrine\EnumType
```
