Code Generation
Installation
Install Oro Maker Bundle as a dev dependency:
composer require --dev "oro/maker"
Execution
To run the code generator, prepare the config file that fits your requirements and execute the maker command:
bin/console make:by-config /path_to_examples/example_config.yml
Configuration File Format
All information about entities and their fields required for code generation is provided in the YAML format to improve re-usability and create complex bundles quickly. The structure of the config is minimalistic and requires a minimal amount of data.
In most cases, you need to define organization and package name and list entities and their fields with types.
generate:
options:
organization: acme
package: example
entities:
seller:
configuration:
owner: user
fields:
name:
type: string
required: true
price:
type: float
description:
type: html
Global options section contains two required elements: organization and package names. The entities section follows it. The key is an entity name.
You can configure its owner (possible values: user, organization, business_unit) and frontend_owner (possible values: customer and customer_user) in the optional configuration section of the entity.
In the same section, you can also disable the generation of:
CRUD create_crud: false
API configure_api: false
Import Export create_import_export: false
Search configure_search: false
Data audit auditable: false
Use the label option to define a custom entity label.
The only requirement for the Entity is to have fields. The field section starts with the field name as a key of the section. Each field must contain type.
Supported field types:
boolean
integer, smallint, bigint, float, decimal, percent
string
text
email
html (TinyMCE used as form type), wysiwyg (GrapesJS editor used)
date, datetime
image
enum
enum[] (so-called multi enums)
relations
Supported optional field options:
default_value
label - the label used as a field label
values - list of values for enum and multi enum (enum[])
required - default false, indicates that field is required and cannot be empty
min_length and max_length for the string and text fields
disable_data_audit, disable_import_export to disable audit and import-export for the field
force_show_on_grid to force field rendering on the grid
Relation Configuration
Relations to existing project entities (FQCN prefixed with @)
toMany relations (FQCN or internal entity name optionally suffixed with [])
Optionally for relation field types next options may be set:
relation_type (possible values: many-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many)
relation_target - FQCN of a related entity or name of the entity within the current config file
is_owning_side - can be used for a many-to-many relation to set a relation target as the owning side
