    Rhys\ReviewBundle\ReviewBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Configuration

1. Create the review configuration file at config/packages/review.yaml:

review:
    approval:
        auto_approve: false    # Set to true to auto-approve all reviews
        min_rating: 0         # Minimum allowed rating
        max_rating: 10        # Maximum allowed rating

1. Configure Doctrine mapping in config/packages/doctrine.yaml:

doctrine:
    orm:
        mappings:
            ReviewBundle:
                type: attribute
                is_bundle: false
                dir: 'vendor/rhysawd/review-bundle/src/Entity'  
                prefix: 'Rhys\ReviewBundle\Entity'
                alias: RhysReviewBundle

Usage

Adding Review Form to Book Pages

Add the review form to your book detail template:

{# templates/book/show.html.twig #}
{{ render(controller('Rhys\\ReviewBundle\\Controller\\ReviewController::new', { 'bookId': book.id })) }}

Managing Reviews

The bundle provides routes for:

• Submitting new reviews: /book/{bookId}/review/new
• Viewing reviews: /book/{bookId}/reviews
• Moderating reviews (admin): /admin/reviews

Customising Templates

To override the default templates, create your own versions in:

templates/bundles/ReviewBundle/review/

Available templates to override:

Entity Relations

The bundle expects your Book entity to implement the following relationship:

use Rhys\ReviewBundle\Entity\Review;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection;

class Book
{
    /**
     * @var Collection<int, Review>
     */
    #[ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity: Review::class, mappedBy: 'book', orphanRemoval: true)]
    private Collection $reviews;

    // ... getters and setters
}

And your User entity:

use Rhys\ReviewBundle\Entity\Review;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection;

class User
{
    /**
     * @var Collection<int, Review>
     */
    #[ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity: Review::class, mappedBy: 'user', orphanRemoval: true)]
    private Collection $reviews;

    // ... getters and setters
}
