Dyvelop Current User Bundle

Symfony bundle to fetch the user which is currently logged in., _(*2)

Installation

Step 1: Download

Download via Composer, _(*3)

composer require dyvelop/current-user-bundle

Step 2: Enable Bundle

Enable the Bundle in the app/AppKernel.php file in your Symfony project:, _(*4)

// File: app/AppKernel.php
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            new Dyvelop\CurrentUserBundle\DyvelopCurrentUserBundle(),
        );

        return $bundles;
    }
}

Usage

Current User Provider

Mainly this bundle implements a service named dyvelop.current_user.provider which provides the current user:, _(*5)

// fetch current user (the result is NULL when no one is logged in)
$user = $this->container->get('dyvelop.current_user.provider')->getUser();

You may use the CurrentUserAware interface and CurrentUserTrait helper to inject it into any other service., _(*6)

Doctrine Annotation

Secondly, this bundle provides a Doctrine Annotation and Driver to inject the Current User into an entity via lifecycle callbacks:, _(*7)

<?php

namespace AppBundle\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Dyvelop\CurrentUserBundle\Annotation as Dyvelop;

class Article
{
    /**
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="User")
     * @ORM\JoinColumn(name="author_id", referencedColumnName="id", nullable=true)
     * @Dyvelop\CurrentUser(prePersist=true)
     */
    protected $author;
}

In this example the current user will be set automatically as author of an article before persisting it to the database., _(*8)

Currently, only the prePersist and preUpdate lifecycle callbacks are implemented. Feel free to contribute some more ;), _(*9)
