Configuration

• Add the following to registerBundles() in your kernel:

    new iDimensionz\EntityGeneratorBundle\EntityGeneratorBundle(),

• Add the following to services.yml:

     idimensionz.mysql_column_definition_provider:
         class: iDimensionz\EntityGeneratorBundle\Provider\MysqlColumnDefinitionProvider
 
     idimensionz.entity_creator_service:
         class: iDimensionz\EntityGeneratorBundle\Service\EntityCreatorService
         arguments: ["@idimensionz.mysql_column_definition_provider", "@twig"]
 
     idimensionz-entity-generator-command:
         class: iDimensionz\EntityGeneratorBundle\Command\GenerateEntityCommand
         arguments: ["@idimensionz.entity_creator_service", ~]

• Add "%kernel.project_dir%/vendor/idimensionz/entity-generator-bundle/templates" to your twig.paths in config.yml.
• Profit!

How to Run the Console Command

The console command take 3 parameters:

• schema-name
• table-name
• entity-class-name

Here's an example of how you would create an entity class for the COLUMNS table in the MySQL information_schema database:

bin/console idimensionz:generate:entity --schema-name=information_schema --table-name=PROFILING --entity-class-name=Profiling

The command will output the class code to the screen where you can copy and paste it into your favorite IDE.

Note: If using PhpStorm, you can easily generate getters and setters with PHP 7 parameter and return value type-hinting as well as doc blocks.

To-Do

We'd like to implement the following improvements. Feel free to submit a PR if you want to help out with these.

1. Add twig blocks to the template to make it easier to customize certain sections.
2. Add the ability to specify a bundle where the entity file would be created.
