Caveats
-------

[](#caveats)

At the moment Doctrine\\migrations version 1.0 is still in alpha. As a result the composer install may require you to change the `minimum-stability` in your `composer.json` to `dev`.

If you don't want to affect the stability of the rest of the packages, you can add the following property in your `composer.json`:

"prefer-stable": true

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

[](#installation)

Begin by installing the package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` to require `mitchellvanw/laravel-doctrine`.

> This package is still in it's early stages, but fully functional. Is it possible that the API might change slightly, no drastic changes.

```
"require": {
    "mitchellvanw/laravel-doctrine": "0.5.*"
}
```

Next use Composer to update your project from the the Terminal:

```
php composer.phar update
```

Once the package has been installed you'll need to add the service provider. Open your `app/config/app.php` configuration file, and add a new item to the `providers` array.

```
'Mitch\LaravelDoctrine\LaravelDoctrineServiceProvider'
```

After This you'll need to add the facade. Open your `app/config/app.php` configuration file, and add a new item to the `aliases` array.

```
'EntityManager' => 'Mitch\LaravelDoctrine\EntityManagerFacade'
```

It's recommended to publish the package configuration.

```
php artisan config:publish mitchellvanw/laravel-doctrine --path=vendor/mitchellvanw/laravel-doctrine/config
```

2 Minutes
---------

[](#2-minutes)

This package uses the Laravel database configuration and thus it works right out of the box. With the [Entity Manager](https://github.com/mitchellvanw/laravel-doctrine/wiki/Entity-Manager) facade (or service locator) you can interact with repositories. It might be wise to [check out the Doctrine 2 docs](http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/index.html) to know how it works. The little example below shows how to use the EntityManager in it simplest form.

```
