Annotation Mapping

@Document

Optional attributes:

• nodeType: PHPCR type for this node, default nt:unstructured.
• uniqueNodeType: If this document has a unique node type, set to true in order to support outer joins correctly. See left outer join and right outer join. To register a custom node type, use the phpcr:node-type:register console command (use help phpcr:node-type:register for the syntax; see Tools for more information). To verify that documents claiming to have unique node types are truly unique, use the doctrine:phpcr:mapping:verify-unique-node-types command.
• repositoryClass: Name of the repository to use for this document.
• versionable: (string) Set to simple or full to enable versioning (respectively simple or full level), false to disable versioning inheritance. Implies referenceable. Note that not every PHPCR implementation support this feature. See Versioning.
• referenceable: Set to true to allow this node to be referenced.
• translator: Determines how translations are stored, one of attribute or child. See langauge mapping
• mixins: Optional list of PHPCR mixins that will be added to the node on creation. Note that if this field is present, it overwrites the same field from the anchestor documents so you have to repeat mixins you want to keep if you add a mixins field.
• childClasses: List of valid child classes (if empty any classes are permitted).
• isLeaf: If the document should act as a leaf (i.e. it can have no children). Mutually exclusive with childClasses.

Minimal example:

use Doctrine\ODM\PHPCR\Mapping\Annotations as PHPCR;

/**
 * @PHPCR\Document()
 */
class User
{
    // ...
}

Full example:

use Doctrine\ODM\PHPCR\Mapping\Annotations as PHPCR;

/**
 * @PHPCR\Document(
 *   repositoryClass="MyProject\UserRepository",
 *   versionable="full",
 *   referenceable=true,
 *   translator="child",
 *   mixins={"mix:created", "mix:lastModified"}
 *   childClasses={"App\Documents\Article", "App\Documents\Page"}
 * )
 */
class Article
{
    // ...
}

@MappedSuperclass

A mapped superclass is an abstract or concrete class that provides persistent document state and mapping information for its subclasses but which is not itself a document.

Optional attributes:

• nodeType: PHPCR type for this node. Default nt:unstructured.
• repositoryClass: Fully qualified name of the repository to use for documents extending this superclass.
• translator: Determines how translations are stored, one of attribute or child. See language mapping.

use Doctrine\ODM\PHPCR\Mapping\Annotations as PHPCR;

/**
 * @PHPCR\MappedSuperclass()
 */
class MappedSuperclassBase
{
    // ... fields and methods
}

/**
 * @PHPCR\Document()
 */
class DocumentSubClassFoo extends MappedSuperclassBase
{
    // ... fields and methods

@Field

Attributes:

• property: The PHPCR property name to which this field is stored. Defaults to the field name.
• assoc: Specify that this attribute should be an associative array. The value should be a string which will be used by the PHPCR node. Set to an empty string to automatically use the name of the annotated variable appended by "Keys".
• multivalue: true to specify that this property should be treated as a simple array. See Mapping multivalue properties.
• translated: true to specify that the property should be translatable, requires the translator attribute to be specified in @Document.
• nullable: true to specifiy that this property doesn't have a required value, used when loading a translation, to allow loading a node with a missing translated property.
• type: Type of the field, see table below.

Types:

• binary: Sets the type of the annotated instance variable to binary.
• boolean: Sets the type of the annotated instance variable to boolean.
• date: Sets the type of the annotated instance variable to DateTime.
• decimal: Sets the type of the annotated instance variable to decimal, the decimal field uses the BCMath library which supports numbers of any size or precision.
• double: Sets the type of the annotated instance variable to double. The PHP type will be float.
• long: Sets the type of the annotated instance variable to long. The PHP type will be integer.
• name: The annotated instance variable must be a valid XML CNAME value and can be used to store a valid node name.
• path: The annotated instance variable must be a valid PHPCR node path and can be used to store an arbitrary reference to another node.
• string: Sets the type of the annotated instance variable to string.
• uri: The annotated instance variable will be validated as an URI.

Examples:

use Doctrine\ODM\PHPCR\Mapping\Annotations as PHPCR;

/**
 * @PHPCR\Field(type="string")
 */
protected $author;

/**
 * @PHPCR\Field(type="string", translated=true)
 */
protected $title;

/**
 * @PHPCR\Field(type="string", translated=true, nullable=true)
 */
protected $subTitle;

/**
 * @PHPCR\Field(type="boolean")
 */
protected $enabled;

/**
 * @PHPCR\Field(type="string", multivalue=true)
 */
protected $keywords; // e.g. array('dog', 'cat', 'mouse')

/**
 * @PHPCR\Field(type="double", assoc="")
 */
protected $exchangeRates; // e.g. array('GBP' => 0.810709, 'EUR' => 1, 'USD' => 1.307460)

@Child

The annotated instance variable will be populated with the named document directly below the instance variables document class in the document hierarchy.

Required attributes:

Optional attributes:

• cascade: One of persist, remove, merge, detach, refresh, translation or all. See Transitive persistence / Cascade Operations

@Children

The annotated instance variable will be populated with Documents directly below the instance variables document class in the document hierarchy.

Optional attributes:

• filter: Child name filter; only return children whose names match the given filter.
• fetchDepth: Performance optimisation, number of levels to pre-fetch and cache, this should be an integer.
• ignoreUntranslated: Set to false to not throw exceptions on untranslated child documents.
• cascade: One of persist, remove, merge, detach, refresh, translation or all. See Transitive persistence / Cascade Operations

@Depth

The annotated instance variable will be populated with an integer value representing the depth of the document within the document hierarchy:

use Doctrine\ODM\PHPCR\Mapping\Annotations as PHPCR;

/**
 * @PHPCR\Depth()
 */
private $depth;

@ParentDocument

Optional attributes:

• cascade: One of persist, remove, merge, detach, refresh, translation or all. See Transitive persistence / Cascade Operations

The annotated instance variable will contain the nodes parent document. Assigning a different parent will result in a move operation:

use Doctrine\ODM\PHPCR\Mapping\Annotations as PHPCR;

/**

@Id

The annotated instance variable will be marked with the documents identifier. The ID is the full path to the document in the document hierarchy. See identifiers.

Required attributes:

• strategy: How to generate IDs, one of NONE, REPOSITORY, ASSIGNED or PARENT, default is PARENT See generation strategies.
