WouterJEloquentBundle

The WouterJEloquentBundle claims to integrate the Eloquent ORM into the Symfony2 framework.

If you wish to use the Symfony Serializer with Eloquent Models you can check EloquentSerializer.

Supported Symfony versions

This bundle is only guaranteed to work on the latest minor releases of the 2.x, 3.x and 4.x version of Symfony. While other minor releases might be supported, support for it isn't explicitly tested. Contribute to this repository to this repository if you want to add support for lower versions.

Installation

Step 1: Download the Bundle

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

$ composer require wouterj/eloquent-bundle "^0.2"

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the app/AppKernel.php file of your project:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...

            new WouterJ\EloquentBundle\WouterJEloquentBundle(),
        );

        // ...
    }

    // ...
}

Step 3: Configure the Database

To use the Eloquent ORM and its database features, you need to configure the bundle with the database information:

wouterj_eloquent:
    driver:   mysql
    host:     localhost
    database: db_name
    username: root
    password: pass
    prefix:   ~
