WouterJEloquentBundle

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

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

Maintained Releases

Only the latest release of this bundle is maintained. Backwards compatible support for new versions of PHP, Symfony and Laravel are considered bug fixes. Dropping support for old versions is considered a feature.

New releases will be made as much as once a week following semantic versioning. The default branch (2.x) will be released as minor or patch version, depending on the changes with the last release (features or only bug fixes).

Installation

Step 1: Download the Bundle

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

$ composer require wouterj/eloquent-bundle

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

When you want to use useful make commands (e.g. make:model), also make sure you have the Symfony MakerBundle installed.

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

If you're using Symfony Flex, the previous step already got you up and running and you can skip this step!

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

<?php
// config/bundles.php

return [
    // ...
    WouterJ\EloquentBundle\WouterJEloquentBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Step 3: Configure the Database

To use the Eloquent ORM, configure a connection by setting the correct environment variables in .env.local:

# .env.local
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=symfony
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=s3cr3t

If you're not using Symfony Flex, create the configuration file yourself:

# config/packages/eloquent.yaml
wouterj_eloquent:
    driver:   mysql
    host:     localhost
    database: db_name
    username: root
    password: pass
    prefix:   ~
