SpiffyDoctrine Module for Zend Framework 2

The SpiffyDoctrine module intends to integrate Doctrine 2 with the Zend Framework quickly and easily. The following features are intended to work out of the box:

• Configuration and creation of multiple entity managers, cache instance, connections, and event managers.
• Specifying separate cache instances for metadata, query, and result caches.
• Using a SQL Logger.
• Configuration of annotations via registry files and/or namespaces (such as Gedmo DoctrineExtensions).

Installation

The simplest way to install is to clone the repository into your /modules directory add the SpiffyDoctrine key to your modules array.

1. cd my/project/folder
2. git clone https://[email protected]/SpiffyJr/SpiffyDoctrine.git modules/SpiffyDoctrine --recursive
3. open my/project/folder/configs/application.config.php and add 'SpiffyDoctrine' to your 'modules' parameter.
4. Alter the configuration (most likely your connection and entities path(s)) by adding the required changes to my/project/folder/modules/Application/module.config.php.

Example standard configuration

// modules/Application/module.config.php
'di' => array(
    'instance' => array(
        'doctrine-container' => array(
            'parameters' => array(
                'connection' => array(
                    'default' => array(
                        'evm' => 'default',
                        'dbname' => 'mydb',
                        'user' => 'root',
                        'password' => '',
                        'host' => 'localhost',
                        'driver' => 'pdo_mysql'
                    )
                ),
                'em' => array(
                    'default' => array(
                        'driver' => array(
                            'paths' => array(
                                '/path/to/your/entities',
                            ),
                        )
                    )
                )
            )
        )
    )
)

Usage

Accessing the default, pre-configured, entity-manager instance

A default EntityManager instance has been configured for you and is called em-default. You can access it from an ActionController using the locator as follows:

$em = $this->getLocator()->get('em-default');

If for some reason you want access to additional objects such as the EVM, Cache, or Connection instances you can get them from the SpiffyDoctrine\Container\Container.

$container = $this->getLocator()->get('doctrine-container');

Doctrine CLI

The Doctrine CLI has been pre-configured and is available in SpiffyDoctrine\bin. It should work as is without any special configuration required.
