A [Doctrine field type](https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-dbal/en/latest/reference/types.html) for
[ShortId](https://github.com/pugx/shortid-php) for PHP.
## Installation
Run the following command:
```bash
composer require pugx/shortid-doctrine
```
**Note:** if you use Symfony, you should require
[pugx/shortid-doctrine-bundle](https://github.com/PUGX/shortid-doctrine-bundle) instead.
## Examples
To configure Doctrine to use `shortid` as a field type, you'll need to set up
the following in your bootstrap:
``` php
<?php
\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::addType('shortid', 'PUGX\Shortid\Doctrine\ShortidType');
$entityManager->getConnection()->getDatabasePlatform()->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('shortid', 'shortid');
```
Then, in your entities, you may annotate properties by setting the `@Column`
type to `shortid`.
You can generate a `PUGX\Shortid\Shortid` object for the property in your constructor, or
use the built-in generator.
Example with ShortId created manually in constructor:
``` php
<?php
use PUGX\Shortid\Shortid;
/**
* @Entity
* @Table
*/
class Product
{
/**
* @var Shortid
*
* @Id
* @Column(type="shortid")
* @GeneratedValue(strategy="NONE")
*/
private $id;
public function __construct(?Shortid $id = null)
{
$this->id = $id ?? Shortid::generate();
}
public function getId(): Shortid
{
return $this->id;
}
}
```
Example with auto-generated shortid:
``` php
<?php
use PUGX\Shortid\Shortid;
/**
* @Entity
* @Table
*/
class Product
{
/**
* @var Shortid
*
* @Id
* @Column(type="shortid")
* @GeneratedValue(strategy="CUSTOM")
* @CustomIdGenerator(class="PUGX\Shortid\Doctrine\Generator\ShortidGenerator")
*/
private $id;
public function getId(): Shortid
{
return $this->id;
}
}
```
If you want to customize ShortId length, you can use the `length` option in the Column annotation. Example:
``` php
<?php
use PUGX\Shortid\Shortid;
/**
* @Entity
* @Table
*/
class Product
{
/**
* @var Shortid
*
* @Id
* @Column(type="shortid", length=5)
* @GeneratedValue(strategy="NONE")
*/
private $id;
public function __construct()
{
$this->id = Shortid::generate(5);
}
}
```
If you want to customize alphabet and/or to use the built-in generator, you need to setup ShortId in your bootstrap:
``` php
<?php
\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::addType('shortid', 'PUGX\Shortid\Doctrine\ShortidType');
$entityManager->getConnection()->getDatabasePlatform()->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('shortid', 'shortid');
$factory = new \PUGX\Shortid\Factory();
// alphabet must be 64 characters long
$factory->setAlphabet('é123456789àbcdefghìjklmnòpqrstùvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX.!@|');
// length must be between 2 and 20
$factory->setLength(5);
PUGX\Shortid\Shortid::setFactory($factory);
```
Then, you must pay attention to configure every ShortId property with the **same length** (`5` in this example).
