Introduction
DoctrineModule provides a bridge between Laminas and Doctrine. It gives you access to features that can be used across Doctrine ORM as well as Doctrine MongoDB ODM. It provides an abstraction layer on top of Doctrine\Common which allows the end user to build functionality being completely unaware if he’s currently working with Doctrine ORM or Doctrine MongoDB ODM.
To use Doctrine ORM or ODM, you will need DoctrineORMModule or DoctrineMongoODMModule respectively.
Installation
Run the following to install this library using Composer:
$ composer require doctrine/doctrine-module
