Laravel Doctrine

An ORM for a Framework for Web Artisans

Laravel's Eloquent ORM is nice for lightweight use, however there's little out there that can beat Doctrine when you need a more full-featured ORM.

This is an integration of Doctrine 2.x to Laravel 4.x as a composer package. Doctrine's EntityManager instance is accessible through a facade named Doctrine.

Metadata is currently obtained via the annotation driver.

Installation

Installation is the usual for Laravel packages.

Insert the following in the packages section of your composer.json file and run an update:

"atrauzzi/laravel-doctrine": "dev-master",

Add the service provider to your Laravel application in app/config/app.php. In the providers array add:

'Atrauzzi\LaravelDoctrine\ServiceProvider',

Then add the following to your facades array in the same file:

'Doctrine' => 'Atrauzzi\LaravelDoctrine\Support\Facades\Doctrine',

You'll likely want to configure the database connection, which you can do by overriding the bundle's defaults with the following command:

./artisan config:publish atrauzzi/laravel-doctrine

This should get you a fresh copy of the configuration file in the directory app/config/packages/vendor/atrauzzi/laravel-doctrine.

Usage

Most of Doctrine's functionality derives from defining your schema (via annotations in your model classes in this case), performing manipulations on instances and then persisting them through the EntityManager. You can obtain the EntityManager instance for your connection simply by using the Doctrine facade:

Adapted from Doctrine's documentation:

<?php
$user = new User;
$user->setName('Mr.Right');
Doctrine::persist($user);
Doctrine::flush();

It is recommended that you read through all of the ORM documentation. Try using Laravel's console to experiment and go through the tutorials.

Enjoy!
