Symfony/Doctrine Seed Bundle

/!\ Starting 01/01/18 I'll not actively maintain this project anymore. I'll merge PR's if any but I'm not using this anymore /!\

Maintained fork: https://github.com/evotodi/seed-bundle

Why

I needed something to load seed data that needed to stay in database. The only symfony bundle that could be used for this is the DoctrineFixturesBundle. Those are fixtures, and should be used for testing only. Data included with this are removed/purged when the command is launched. Here, I want the data to be persistent. You can use it as a fixture bundle too by unloading data, but it is not it's main purpose.

Configuration

soyuka_seed:
  prefix: 'seed' #command prefix "seed:yourseedname"
  directory: 'Seeds' #default seed path: Bundle/Seeds
  separator: ':'

Building a Seed

The Seed class is a Command and :

• Must extend Soyuka\SeedBundle\Command\Seed
• Must have a class name that ends by Seed
• Must call setSeedName in the configure method

<?php

namespace AcmeBundle\ISOBundle\Seeds;

use Soyuka\SeedBundle\Command\Seed;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;

use Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser;
use AcmeBundle\ISOBundle\Entity\Country;

class CountrySeed extends Seed
{

    protected function configure()
    {
        //The seed won't load if this is not set
        //The resulting command will be {prefix}:country
        $this
            ->setSeedName('country');

        parent::configure();
    }

    public function load(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output){

        //Doctrine logging eats a lot of memory, this is a wrapper to disable logging
        $this->disableDoctrineLogging();

        //Access doctrine through $this->doctrine
        $countryRepository = $this->doctrine->getRepository('AcmeISOBundle:Country');

        $yaml = new Parser();

        //for example, using umpirsky/country-list (lazy yaml)
        $countries = $yaml->parse(file_get_contents('vendor/umpirsky/country-list/country/cldr/fr/country.yaml'));

        foreach ($countries as $id => $country) {

            if($countryRepository->findOneById($id)) {
                continue;
            }

            $e = new Country();

            $e->setId($id);
            $e->setName($country);

            //Doctrine manager is also available
            $this->manager->persist($e);

            $this->manager->flush();
        }

        $this->manager->clear();
    }

    public function getOrder() {
      return 0;
    }
}

Loading a seed

The SeedBundle gives you two default commands and one for each seed you made. With the previous example, I'd have:

app/console seed:load #calls the load method of every seed
app/console seed:unload #calls the unload method of every seed
app/console seed:country

The global seed:load and seed:unload allow you to run multiple seeds in one command. You can of course skip seeds app/console seed:load --skip Town but also name the one you want app/console seed:load Country. For more informations, please use app/console seed:load --help.

Seed order

Every seed has a getOrder method that is used to sort them. The default value is 0.
