Doctrine Native Enums

This library provides support to PHP Enums, introduced in PHP 8.1, within your Doctrine entities.

⚠️ Jan 2022: Doctrine ORM 2.11 finally introduced native support for PHP 8.1 enums! 🎉

This means that this bundle will soon or later be discontinued. Please upgrade your dependencies!

Installation

composer require bentools/doctrine-native-enums

Usage

This library only works with Backed enums.

In a Symfony project

1. Declare the bundle.

// config/bundles.php

return [
    // ...
    BenTools\Doctrine\NativeEnums\Bundle\DoctrineNativeEnumsBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

2. Register enums in your configuration.

# config/packages/doctrine_native_enums.yaml

doctrine_native_enums:
  enum_types:
    App\Entity\StatusEnum: ~
    #App\Entity\StatusEnum: status # Alternatively, if you want your type to be named "status"

3. Use them in your entities.

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

#[ORM\Entity]
final class Book
{
    #[
        ORM\Id,
        ORM\Column(unique: true),
        ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy: 'AUTO'),
    ]
    public int $id;

    #[ORM\Column]
    public string $name;

    #[ORM\Column(type: StatusEnum::class)]
    public StatusEnum $status;
}

In other projects using Doctrine

use App\Entity\StatusEnum;
use BenTools\Doctrine\NativeEnums\Type\NativeEnum;
use Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type;

NativeEnum::registerEnumType(StatusEnum::class);
// NativeEnum::registerEnumType('status', StatusEnum::class); // Alternatively, if you want your type to be named "status"
