Resource Naming Strategy for Doctrine ORM

Why *Resource*?
---------------

[](#why-resource)

This naming strategy following the natural way of thinking about *entities* and *resources*. Imagine that you have **one Flower**. It's single entity. You want to store some data about **flowers** e.g. in your database. It's *resource*.

Simple? I know resource named *flower* sounds easier but sometimes it's more confusing. In the end, you have a lot of flowers, not one.

This strategy is similar to the *Laravel* naming convention (See [mapping](#mapping) section).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This package uses `icanboogie/inflector` and it requires a **mbstring** php extension.

Instalation
-----------

[](#instalation)

### Install via composer

[](#install-via-composer)

Add dependecy to your `composer.json` file and run `composer update`.

```
"require": {
    "szykra/resource-naming-strategy": "~0.1"
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Usage with Doctrine

[](#usage-with-doctrine)

```
$namingStrategy = new \Szykra\NamingStrategy\ResourceNamingStrategy();
$configuration()->setNamingStrategy($namingStrategy);
```

### Usage with Symfony

[](#usage-with-symfony)

You have a two ways to use this naming strategy

#### Register bundle in `AppKernel.php`

[](#register-bundle-in-appkernelphp)

Just open your `AppKernel.php` file and register new symfony bundle which contains a service definition.

```
$bundles = array(
    ...
    new Szykra\NamingStrategy\ResourceNamingBundle\ResourceNamingBundle()
);
```

Now you can configure Doctrine in `config.yml` to use new naming strategy.

```
doctrine:
    orm:
        naming_strategy: szykra.naming_strategy.resource_naming_strategy
```

### Define your own service

[](#define-your-own-service)

If you don't want to register additional bundles you can create own service definiton in `services.yml`:

```
services:
    app.naming_strategy.resource:
        class: Szykra\NamingStrategy\ResourceNamingStrategy
```

And don't forget to configure Doctrine to use this service.

Mapping
-------

[](#mapping)

### Entity to table name

[](#entity-to-table-name)

Lowercase and plural

EntityTableUserusersCategorycategoriesTaskActivitytask\_activities### Property to column name
