=========================================

[](#rekalogikadoctrine-collections-decorator)

Lets you easily create decorator classes to dynamically modify the behaviors of Doctrine Collection objects, including the collection objects used by Doctrine ORM in your entities.

Motivation
----------

[](#motivation)

Custom collection classes won't come to Doctrine ORM anytime soon. Therefore, the only way to modify the behavior of a Doctrine collection is to use decorators. However, creating a Collection decorator by hand is a tedious process.

Synopsis
--------

[](#synopsis)

The decorator class extending one of our abstract classes:

```
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection;
use Rekalogika\Collections\Decorator\AbstractCollectionDecorator;

/**
 * @extends AbstractCollectionDecorator
 */
class BookCollection extends AbstractCollectionDecorator
{
    /**
     * @param Collection $collection
     */
    public function __construct(private Collection $collection)
    {
    }

    protected function getWrapped(): Collection
    {
        return $this->collection;
    }

    // add and override methods here:
    // ...
}
```

The usage in an entity:

```
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

#[ORM\Entity()]
class BookShelf
{
    /**
     * @var Collection
     */
    #[ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity: Book::class)]
    private Collection $books;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->books = new ArrayCollection();
    }

    public function getBooks(): BookCollection
    {
        return new BookCollection($this->bookskkk);
    }
}
```
