Configuration

The full configuration reference is:, _(*4)

# app/config/config.yml

# Default config
fidry_alice_data_fixtures:
    default_purge_mode: ~ # default is "delete" but you can change it to "truncate" or "no_purge"
    db_drivers:
        doctrine_orm: ~
        doctrine_mongodb_odm: ~
        doctrine_phpcr_odm: ~
        eloquent_orm: ~

For each driver, if the appropriate bundle is detected, e.g. DoctrineORMBundle for Doctrine and WouterJEloquentBundle for Eloquent, the services related to those driver will be enabled. If you want to skip those checks you can turn a specific driver to true instead. If you want to disable a specific driver, simply force the value false instead., _(*5)

Basic usage

Create a fixture file in src/AppBundle/Resources/fixtures:, _(*6)

# src/AppBundle/Resources/fixtures/dummy.yml

AppBundle\Entity\Dummy:
    dummy_{1..10}:
        name: <name()>
        related_dummy: '@related_dummy*'

# src/AppBundle/Resources/fixtures/related_dummy.yml

AppBundle\Entity\RelatedDummy:
    related_dummy_{1..10}:
        name: <name()>

Then you can load those files using a LoaderInterface:, _(*7)

<?php

$files = [
    'path/to/src/AppBundle/Resources/fixtures/dummy.yml',
    'path/to/src/AppBundle/Resources/fixtures/related_dummy.yml',
];

// Choose your loader
$loader = $container->get('fidry_alice_data_fixtures.loader.doctrine');         // For Doctrine ORM
$loader = $container->get('fidry_alice_data_fixtures.loader.doctrine_mongodb'); // For Doctrine MongoDB ODM
$loader = $container->get('fidry_alice_data_fixtures.loader.doctrine_phpcr');   // For Doctrine PHPCR
$loader = $container->get('fidry_alice_data_fixtures.loader.eloquent');         // For Eloquent ORM

// Purge the objects, create PHP objects from the fixture files and persist them
$objects = $loader->load($files);

// $objects is now an array of persisted `Dummy` and `RelatedDummy`

Warning: loading the objects does not trigger a clear(). This means if you are relying on some Doctrine life-cycle events in your tests, some may not be triggered as expected. See #84 For more information., _(*8)
