Symfony 4 and Doctrine, how to generate repository automatically after mapping?
How to Generate Entities from an Existing Database
Table name: CamelCase (eg: table_name will be TableName)
php bin/console doctrine:mapping:import App\\Entity annotation --path=src/Entity --filter="TableName"
How to Generate Entities
Run below command, it will create entity file.
php bin/console make:entity --regenerate
Next, go to your entity file and add @ORM\Entity repositoryClass
Example Entity file
/**
* XXXXXX
*
* @ORM\Table(name="XXXX")
* @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\XXXXRepository")
*/
class XXXXX {
Run again this command again, and it will create repository for you.
php bin/console make:entity --regenerate
SOLUTION 1
You can simply run
php bin\console make:entity --regenerate
This will prompt and ask for:
Enter a class or namespace to regenerate [App\Entity]:
Just press Enter or specify the location of your entity folder, and it will create missing getters/setters & Repositories.
---> WARNING:
If it does not create the repositories make sure you have the following annotation in your entities :
/**
* @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\MyClassRepository")
*/
class MyClass
{
}
You also might want to clear your cache if it's not working (as noted by @Pavel Petrov in the comments)
SOLUTION 2
The SymfonyMakerBundle allows you to create your own makers. So you could make a new one called make:repositories
that will generate a repository for each entity found in the /Entity folder.
To do that, create a class (MakeRepositories) that extends AbstractMaker in your src/Maker/
directory. (documentation: https://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/SymfonyMakerBundle/index.html#creating-your-own-makers)
Use the core maker make:entity
to help you create your new command (since it contains the code to generate a repository) : https://github.com/symfony/maker-bundle/blob/master/src/Maker/MakeEntity.php
After generating your entity classes from database, add the following annotation to each of your entities:
@ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\ClassNameRepository")
To genenerate the repository classes, run the following command:
php bin/console make:entity --regenerate App
