Resource Naming Strategy for Doctrine ORM

Why Resource?

This naming strategy following the natural way of thinking about entities and resources. Imagine that you have one Flower. It's single entity. You want to store some data about flowers e.g. in your database. It's resource.

Simple? I know resource named flower sounds easier but sometimes it's more confusing. In the end, you have a lot of flowers, not one.

This strategy is similar to the Laravel naming convention (See mapping section).

Requirements

This package uses icanboogie/inflector and it requires a mbstring php extension.

Instalation

Install via composer

Add dependecy to your composer.json file and run composer update.

"require": {
    "szykra/resource-naming-strategy": "~0.1"
}

Usage

Usage with Doctrine

$namingStrategy = new \Szykra\NamingStrategy\ResourceNamingStrategy();
$configuration()->setNamingStrategy($namingStrategy);

Usage with Symfony

You have a two ways to use this naming strategy

Register bundle in AppKernel.php

Just open your AppKernel.php file and register new symfony bundle which contains a service definition.

$bundles = array(
    ...
    new Szykra\NamingStrategy\ResourceNamingBundle\ResourceNamingBundle()
);

Now you can configure Doctrine in config.yml to use new naming strategy.

doctrine:
    orm:
        naming_strategy: szykra.naming_strategy.resource_naming_strategy

Define your own service

If you don't want to register additional bundles you can create own service definiton in services.yml:

services:
    app.naming_strategy.resource:
        class: Szykra\NamingStrategy\ResourceNamingStrategy

And don't forget to configure Doctrine to use this service.
