To create a new entity, we need to run the following command:
$ bin/console make:entity 'App\Entity\Book'
This command is interactive: it will guide you through the process of adding all the fields you need.
Use the following answers (most of them are the defaults, so you can hit the "Enter" key to use them):
Name
Author
Description
Price
String
String
Text
Float
255
255
/
/
No
No
No
No
Here is the full output when running the command:
created: src/Entity/Book.php
created: src/Repository/BookRepository.php
Entity generated! Now let's add some fields!
You can always add more fields later manually or by re-running this command.
New property name (press <return> to stop adding fields):
> name
Field type (enter ? to see all types) [string]:
>
Field length [255]:
>
Can this field be null in the database (nullable) (yes/no) [no]:
>
updated: src/Entity/Book.php
Add another property? Enter the property name (or press <return> to stop adding fields):
> author
Field type (enter ? to see all types) [string]:
>
Field length [255]:
>
Can this field be null in the database (nullable) (yes/no) [no]:
>
updated: src/Entity/Book.php
Add another property? Enter the property name (or press <return> to stop adding fields):
> description
Field type (enter ? to see all types) [string]:
> text
Can this field be null in the database (nullable) (yes/no) [no]:
>
updated: src/Entity/Book.php
Add another property? Enter the property name (or press <return> to stop adding fields):
> price
Field type (enter ? to see all types) [string]:
> float
Can this field be null in the database (nullable) (yes/no) [no]:
>

Success!
Next: When you're ready, create a migration with php bin/console make:migration
Configure the BookRepository
The command also generated a Doctrine repository class.
App\Repository\BookRepository.php
<?php
namespace App\Repository;
use App\Entity\Book;
use Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\Repository\ServiceEntityRepository;
use Doctrine\Persistence\ManagerRegistry;
/**
* [...]
*/
class BookRepository extends ServiceEntityRepository
{
public function __construct(ManagerRegistry $registry)
{
parent::__construct($registry, Book::class);
}
// [...]
}
The generated code is not compatible with Sylius Resource yet, so we need to make a few changes.
First, your repository should implement the Sylius\Component\Resource\Repository\RepositoryInterface interface
Then, add the Sylius\Bundle\ResourceBundle\Doctrine\ORM\ResourceRepositoryTrait trait
Your repository should look like this:
App\Repository\BookRepository.php
<?php
namespace App\Repository;
use App\Entity\Book;
use Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\Repository\ServiceEntityRepository;
use Doctrine\Persistence\ManagerRegistry;
use Sylius\Bundle\ResourceBundle\Doctrine\ORM\ResourceRepositoryTrait;
use Sylius\Resource\Doctrine\Persistence\RepositoryInterface;
/**
* @extends ServiceEntityRepository<Book>
*
* @method Book|null find($id, $lockMode = null, $lockVersion = null)
* @method Book|null findOneBy(array $criteria, array $orderBy = null)
* @method Book[] findAll()
* @method Book[] findBy(array $criteria, array $orderBy = null, $limit = null, $offset = null)
*/
class BookRepository extends ServiceEntityRepository implements RepositoryInterface
{
use ResourceRepositoryTrait;
public function __construct(ManagerRegistry $registry)
{
parent::__construct($registry, Book::class);
}
}
