README

The project is no longer supported. If you still want to create fixtures with yaml, then I recommend switching to Alice.

• Resolve object dependency (also bidirectional references)
• Configurable default fixture converter (constructor, properties, set* and add* methods)
• Easy to create your own converter

• Fixture filtering by tags
• Object validation
• Fixturemanager as a service

1. Installation

Add DavidBaduraFixtureBundle in your composer.json

{
    "require": {
        "davidbadura/fixtures-bundle": "1.0.*"
    }
}

Add the DavidBaduraFixturesBundle to your application kernel:

// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    return array(
        // ...
        new DavidBadura\FixturesBundle\DavidBaduraFixturesBundle(),
        // ...
    );
}

1. Configuration

Configure DavidBaduraFixturesBundle:

# app/config/config.yml
david_badura_fixtures:
  bundles: [YourBundle]

Activate support for MongoDB:

# app/config/config.yml
david_badura_fixtures:
  persister: odm

1. Create fixtures

Now you must create your fixture data:

# @YourBundle/Resource/fixtures/install.yml
user:
    properties:
        class: "YourBundle\Entity\User"
    data:
        david:
            name: David
            email: "d.badura@gmx.de"
            groups: ["@group:admin"] # <- reference to group.admin

group:
    properties:
        class: "YourBundle\Entity\Group"
    data:
        admin:
            name: Admin
        member:
            name: Member

The fixture files will be automatically loaded from the Resources\fixtures folder.

1. Load fixtures

Command:

php app/console davidbadura:fixtures:load

Service:

$fixtureManager = $container->get('davidbadura_fixtures.fixture_manager');
$fixtureManager->load();
