Skrepr ID Types

Symfony bundle for generating and validating ID types

Prerequisites

This version of the project requires:

• PHP 8.3+
• Symfony 6.4+

Installation

You can install the library through composer:

composer require skrepr/id-type

The bundle should be enabled by symfony/flex, but if not:

// config/bundles.php

<?php

return [
    Skrepr\IdType\SkreprIdTypeBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Usage

To generate an UuidType:

bin/console make:id-type [--register] <id_name>

Where id_name is something like "user_id".

With this maker command, two files are generated (src/ValueObject/UserId.php and src/Persistence/Doctrine/UserIdType.php) and if the --register option is given, also the new type is added to config/packages/doctrine.yaml.

Registering is not needed if you are using autoconfigure because of the service tag "skrepr.id-type" will automatically register the type to doctrine.

To use this new id in your entity (example:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Entity;

use App\ValueObject\UserId;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

#[ORM\Entity]
class User
{
    #[ORM\Id]
    #[ORM\Column(type: UserId::TYPE)]
    public readonly UserId $id;
    
    #[ORM\Column(type: 'string')]
    public string $name;
    
    public function __construct(string $name)
    {
        $this->id = UserId::generate();
        $this->name = $name;
    }
}

See the example directory for the generated files by make:id-type.

To generate a new ID you can use the static generate-function:

$newId = UserId::generate();

You can also feed a UUID or string to the constructor:

$userId = new UserId('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000');
// or
$userId = new UserId( \Symfony\Component\Uid\Uuid::v4() );

AutoConfigure

By default, the created ID's can be used with AutoConfigure from Symfony. To upgrade existing ID's to this system you have to do the following (in this example we use "UserId").

1. Remove the 'user_id'-line from config/packages/doctrine.yaml

   doctrine:
       dbal:
           types:
               user_id: App\Persistence\Doctrine\UserIdType

2. Add the service tag 'skrepr.id-type' to App\Persistence\Doctrine\UserIdType

   #[AutoconfigureTag('skrepr.id-type')]
   class UserIdType extends AbstractUuidType 

3. (optional) Remove the function App\Persistence\Doctrine\UserIdType::getName
4. (optional) Add a constant to App\ValueObject\TestId (required if step 3 is done)

   public const string TYPE = 'user_id';

Instead of step 2, you can also add the tag to all your custom types at once, because the compiler pass of skrepr/id-type will check for a subclass of AbstractUuidType:

# config/service.yaml
    App\Persistence\Doctrine\:
        resource: '../src/Persistence/Doctrine/'
        tags:
            - { name: 'skrepr.id-type' }
