ShortId Doctrine Type

A Doctrine field type for ShortId for PHP.

Installation

Run the following command:

composer require pugx/shortid-doctrine

Note

if you use Symfony, you should require pugx/shortid-doctrine-bundle instead.

Examples

To configure Doctrine to use shortid as a field type, you'll need to set up the following in your bootstrap:

<?php

\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::addType('shortid', 'PUGX\Shortid\Doctrine\ShortidType');
$entityManager->getConnection()->getDatabasePlatform()->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('shortid', 'shortid');

Then, in your entities, you may annotate properties by setting the @Column type to shortid.

You can generate a PUGX\Shortid\Shortid object for the property in your constructor, or use the built-in generator.

Example with ShortId created manually in constructor:

<?php

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use PUGX\Shortid\Shortid;

#[ORM\Entity]
#[ORM\Table]
class Product
{
    #[ORM\Id]
    #[ORM\Column(type: 'shortid')
    #[ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy: 'NONE')
    private Shortid $id;

    public function __construct(?Shortid $id = null)
    {
        $this->id = $id ?? Shortid::generate();
    }

    public function getId(): Shortid
    {
        return $this->id;
    }
}

Example with auto-generated shortid:

<?php

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use PUGX\Shortid\Doctrine\Generator\ShortidGenerator;
use PUGX\Shortid\Shortid;

#[ORM\Entity]
#[ORM\Table]
class Product
{
    #[ORM\Id]
    #[ORM\Column(type: 'shortid')
    #[ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy: 'CUSTOM')
    #[ORM\CustomIdGenerator(class: ShortidGenerator::class)
    private Shortid $id;

    // etc...
}

If you want to customize ShortId length, you can use the length option in the Column annotation. Example:

<?php

// use...

#[ORM\Entity]
#[ORM\Table]
class Product
{
    #[ORM\Id]
    #[ORM\Column(type: 'shortid', length: 5)
    #[ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy: 'NONE')
    private Shortid $id;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->id = Shortid::generate(5);
    }
}

If you want to customize alphabet and/or to use the built-in generator, you need to setup ShortId in your bootstrap:

<?php

\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::addType('shortid', 'PUGX\Shortid\Doctrine\ShortidType');
$entityManager->getConnection()->getDatabasePlatform()->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('shortid', 'shortid');

$factory = new \PUGX\Shortid\Factory();
// alphabet must be 64 characters long
$factory->setAlphabet('é123456789àbcdefghìjklmnòpqrstùvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX.!@|');
// length must be between 2 and 20
$factory->setLength(5);
PUGX\Shortid\Shortid::setFactory($factory);

Then, you must pay attention to configure every ShortId property with the same length (5 in this example).
