Which Doctrine relationship types does this skill support?

It supports the most common relationship types: ManyToOne (N:1), OneToMany (1:N), and ManyToMany (N:N).

Does it handle the inverse side of relationships automatically?

Yes, it provides specific templates for both the owning side (containing the foreign key) and the inverse side (containing the collection) to ensure bidirectional consistency.

How are collections initialized in the entities?

The skill automatically includes logic to initialize collections as new ArrayCollections within the class constructor for OneToMany and ManyToMany relationships.

Does it update the database schema after code changes?

Yes, the process includes a final step to run the 'dsu' (database schema update) command, typically via a Docker-based environment.

Can I use this for nullable or non-nullable relations?

The templates include JoinColumn attributes that can be easily adjusted, with defaults provided for common scenarios like non-nullable ManyToOne links.

Database Management

Automates the creation and configuration of Doctrine entity relationships within Symfony projects.

About

The Symfony Entity Relation Manager skill streamlines the process of linking Doctrine entities by providing standardized templates for ManyToOne, OneToMany, and ManyToMany relationships. It ensures that both the owning and inverse sides of a relationship are correctly implemented with appropriate ORM attributes, proper constructor initializations for collections, and all necessary getter and setter methods. This skill reduces manual boilerplate coding and minimizes errors in database mapping, concluding with automated schema updates to keep your database in sync with your models.

Key Features

Generates standardized code for ManyToOne, OneToMany, and ManyToMany relations
Configures Doctrine ORM attributes including join columns and cascade options
Automates boilerplate for getters, setters, and collection adder/remover methods
Manages bidirectional mapping consistency with mappedBy and inversedBy
Provides integrated workflow for updating database schemas via dsu commands
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Linking a new 'Comment' entity to an existing 'Post' entity using a ManyToOne relation
Establishing a ManyToMany relationship between 'Users' and 'Roles' with a join table
Setting up complex bidirectional parent-child collections in a business logic model
