[](#)

A simplified doctrine extension to add common behaviors

Yet another fun-filled doctrine-behaviors-bundle. It isn't designed to be the end-all-be-all of DoctrineBehaviorsBundles, it's just the way we prefer it and the way that we use it. If this works for you great! We're excited you picked ours. If not, no hurt feelings.

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

[](#installation)

Prior to adding the DoctrineBehaviorsBundle, you will need to add the PHPAlchemist symfony recipes repo to your configuration. To do so, add the following to your `composer.json` file:

```
{
 //...
"extra": {
    "symfony": {
      "endpoint": [
        "https://api.github.com/repos/PHP-Alchemist/symfony-recipes/contents/index.json",
        "flex://defaults"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

Next you can require the bundle:

```
composer require php-alchemist/doctrine-behaviors
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

In your `config/packages` folder you should now find a `php_alchemist_doctrine_behaviors.yaml` file. The contents should resemble:

```
php_alchemist_doctrine_behaviors:
  decision_service: ~
```

If you have a custom decision service in which your Behaviors will look to decide if they should be executed, here is where you will configure that. The `decision_service` option should be filled in with class. Such as:

```
php_alchemist_doctrine_behaviors:
  decision_service: App\Service\DoctrineBehaviorDecisionService
```

This class will replace the default one provided by the bundle.

### Turning behaviors off

[](#turning-behaviors-off)

Every behavior is on by default. If you only want some of them, switch the rest off under `behaviors`:

```
php_alchemist_doctrine_behaviors:
  behaviors:
    liable: true
    timestampable: true
    soft_deleteable: false
```

A behavior switched off here is removed from the container entirely — no service, no Doctrine event listener, and no `decide()` call on flush. That makes it cheaper than a decision service that returns `false`, which still pays the lookup on every event.

The two options layer, and it is fine to use both:

Question it answersWhen it runs`behaviors`Should this listener exist at all?Compile time`decision_service`Should it act on *this* flush?Runtime, per eventEntity interfaceDoes this entity opt in?Runtime, per entitySo `behaviors` is the right place for a behavior you never want, and `decision_service` is the right place for one you want to toggle at runtime — from a feature flag, an environment, or a per-tenant setting.

The bundle's own `DecisionService` honors `behaviors` too, so the config works without writing any class. If you supply your own `decision_service`, that class owns the decision completely and is not handed the `behaviors` map — but anything switched off under `behaviors` is already gone from the container, so your class is never asked about it.
