[Custom representation](#custom-representation) 3. [Limitations](#limitations) 4. [Further work](#further-work) Installation ------------ [](#installation) Recommended installation is through Composer. ``` composer require zlikavac32/php-enum-doctrine ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Assumption is that there exists a valid enum `\YesNoEnum`. Create a new type that extends `\Zlikavac32\DoctrineEnum\DBAL\Types\EnumType`. ``` use Zlikavac32\DoctrineEnum\DBAL\Types\EnumType; class YesNoEnumType extends EnumType { // ... } ``` Next, define `protected function enumClass(): string`. This method should return FQN of the enum class that this type exposes to the Doctrine. ``` protected function enumClass(): string { return \YesNoEnum::class; } ``` Define Doctrine method `public function getName(): string` that defines type's name. ``` public function getName(): string { return 'enum_yes_no'; } ``` And that's it. Only thing left to do is to register the type using ``` \Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::addType('enum_yes_no', \YesNoEnumType::class); ``` You can now use `enum_yes_no` type. ``` /** * @Column(type="enum_yes_no", nullable=true) * @var \YesNoEnum|null */ private $yesNo; ``` For more info on the custom Doctrine mapping types, check [official documentation](http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-dbal/en/latest/reference/types.html#custom-mapping-types). ### Custom column length [](#custom-column-length) Internally this library uses `varchar` type with the maximum length of `32`. If you want to fit the length to your own needs, just override method `protected function columnLength(): int`. ``` protected function columnLength(): int { return 16; } ``` Note that on types first usage, all enum elements names are checked against specified column length. If a name longer than maximum length is detected, a `\LogicException` is thrown. ### Custom representation [](#custom-representation) By default, name of the enum element is used for it's representation in the database. To change that behaviour, override methods `enumToDatabaseValue()` and `databaseValueToEnum()`. Limitations ----------- [](#limitations) This library does not use platform dependent types like `enum` in `MySQL` or custom types in `PostgresSQL`. Instead, `varchar` is used. Reasons for this are: - `Doctrine` can not diff enum contents because that's types intrinsic property - for `PostgresSQL` we can't diff column because type is not in Doctrine control - column constraints can not be used because they break `ALTER` syntax If you know how to avoid any of this, please let me know. Further work ------------ [](#further-work) Figure out how to overcome issues in [Limitations](#limitations). ### Health Score 27 — LowBetter than 49% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity13 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
