Install

Installation of this module uses composer. For composer documentation, please refer to getcomposer.org

$ composer require laravel-doctrine/orm

To publish the config use:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="config" --provider="LaravelDoctrine\ORM\DoctrineServiceProvider"

Thanks to Laravel auto package discovery, the ServiceProvider and Facades are automatically registered. However they can still be manually registered if required (see below).

Environment Variables

Environment variables used inside the config

• DOCTRINE_CACHE

• DOCTRINE_LOGGER

• DOCTRINE_METADATA

• DOCTRINE_PROXY_AUTOGENERATE

Application Folder Structure

Doctrine entities do not belong in the Model directory. Because Eloquent is a part of the Laravel Framework, you will need a directory structure just for Doctrine that is flexible enough to accomodate two ORMs.

~/app/ORM/Doctrine
~/app/ORM/Doctrine/Entity
~/app/ORM/Doctrine/Repository
~/app/ORM/Doctrine/Subscriber
~/app/ORM/Doctrine/Listener

If you are using both Eloquent and Doctrine together in an application, it is suggested you modify your directory structure to accomodate both in a logical way.

~/app/ORM/Eloquent
~/app/ORM/Eloquent/Models

Change the config/doctrine.php file paths

'paths' => [
    base_path('app/ORM/Doctrine/Entity'),
],

Manual registration

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

Optionally, you can register the EntityManager, Registry and/or Doctrine facades
