What is MySQL Workbench schema exporter?

The application is intended to create:

• Doctrine1
• Doctrine2
• Zend DbTable
• Propel (not implemented)
• CakePHP (not implemented)

schema files from MySQL Workbench models (*.mwb). It is inspired by http://code.google.com/p/mysql-workbench-doctrine-plugin/.

Doctrine behaviours

Support for behaviours is implemented for Doctrine1. Use the comment fields in tables.

{d:actAs}
  actAs:
    timestampable:
      [..]
{/d:actAs}

Foreign key name

To replace relations name by the name of the foreign key, start the foreign key name with "d:".

Command Line Interface (CLI)

There is a new CLI to simplify the export process named export.php, you can look under the cli folder. The CLI has feature to customize export configuration before exporting.

The syntax of CLI:

php cli/export.php [options] FILE [DEST]

Where:

• options:
  • --export=type, choose the result of the export, currently available types:
    • doctrine1, Doctrine 1.0 YAML schema
    • doctrine2-yml, Doctrine 2.0 YAML schema
    • doctrine2-annotation, Doctrine 2.0 Annotation classes (default)
    • zend-dbtable, Zend DbTable
  • --config=file, read export parameters from file (in JSON format)
  • --saveconfig, save export parameters to file export.json, later can be used as value for --config=file
  • --zip, compress the result
  • --help, show the usage (or suppress any parameters)
• FILE, the mwb file to export
• DEST, the destination directory (optional), if not specified current directory assumed

Sample usage:

php cli/export.php --export=doctrine1 example/data/test.mwb ./generated
php cli/export.php --zip example/data/test.mwb

Sample export paramaters (JSON) for doctrine2-annotation:

{
    "export": "doctrine2-annotation",
    "zip": false,
    "dir": "temp",
    "params": {
        "skipPluralNameChecking": false,
        "enhancedManyToManyDetection": false,
        "bundleNamespace": "",
        "entityNamespace": "",
        "repositoryNamespace": "",
        "useAnnotationPrefix": "ORM\\",
        "useAutomaticRepository": true,
        "indentation": 4,
        "filename": "%entity%.%extension%"
    }
}

Example

<?php

// enable autoloading of classes
require_once('lib/MwbExporter/Core/SplClassLoader.php');
$classLoader = new SplClassLoader();
$classLoader->setIncludePath('lib');
$classLoader->register();

// define a formatter
$formatter = new \MwbExporter\Formatter\Doctrine2\Annotation\Loader();

// parse the mwb file
$mwb = new \MwbExporter\Core\Workbench\Document('myDatabaseModel.mwb', $formatter);

// show the output
echo $mwb->display();

// save as zip file in current directory and use .php as file endings
echo $mwb->zipExport(__DIR__, 'php');
?>
