Description

This package allows you manually assign IDs to a Doctrine entity, even when the entity uses the stategies AUTO, SEQUENCE, IDENTITY or UUID.

This package's main use-case is to explicitly set IDs of entities that are created for your unit tests. It is not advised to use this package in production.

Installation

composer require --dev tseho/doctrine-assigned-identity

Usage

Register the EventListener in Doctrine.

With Symfony:

# app/config/config_test.yml

services:
    tseho.doctrine_assigned_identity.listener:
        class: Tseho\DoctrineAssignedIdentity\EventListener\AssignedIdentityListener
        public: false
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_listener, event: prePersist }

How does it work?

AssignedIdentityListener will override the ID generator of an entity class if there is a newly persisted instance with a manually assigned id. For all the other instances of the same class without id, the ChainedGenerator will fallback on the correct id generator.
