Doctrine/DBAL Timestamp Type
============================

[](#doctrinedbal-timestamp-type)

Since Doctrine/DBAL does not support the MySQL Timestamp type, you might want to add it on your own using this package.

Why using this?
---------------

[](#why-using-this)

According to [this issue](https://github.com/doctrine/dbal/issues/2558), [Doctrine/DBAL](https://github.com/doctrine/dbal) does not support MySQL-specific database types like this one. Therefor we must add it ourself.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require marktopper/doctrine-dbal-timestamp-type

```

Then add the type to `Doctrine\DBAL`:

```
\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::addType('timestamp', 'MarkTopper\DoctrineDBALTimestampType\TimestampType');

```

### Laravel 5

[](#laravel-5)

You can use the Laravel Provider to ensure that the type is added to Doctrine\\DBAL by adding the following to providers:

```
MarkTopper\DoctrineDBALTimestampType\Laravel5ServiceProvider::class,

```
