Doctrine2 export entity to array
Solution 1
<?php
namespace Acme\ServiceBundle\Services;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager;
class EntitySerializer
{
protected $em;
public function __construct(EntityManager $em)
{
$this->em = $em;
}
public function serialize($entity)
{
$className = get_class($entity);
$uow = $this->em->getUnitOfWork();
$entityPersister = $uow->getEntityPersister($className);
$classMetadata = $entityPersister->getClassMetadata();
$result = array();
foreach ($uow->getOriginalEntityData($entity) as $field => $value) {
if (isset($classMetadata->associationMappings[$field])) {
$assoc = $classMetadata->associationMappings[$field];
// Only owning side of x-1 associations can have a FK column.
if ( ! $assoc['isOwningSide'] || ! ($assoc['type'] & \Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadata::TO_ONE)) {
continue;
}
if ($value !== null) {
$newValId = $uow->getEntityIdentifier($value);
}
$targetClass = $this->em->getClassMetadata($assoc['targetEntity']);
$owningTable = $entityPersister->getOwningTable($field);
foreach ($assoc['joinColumns'] as $joinColumn) {
$sourceColumn = $joinColumn['name'];
$targetColumn = $joinColumn['referencedColumnName'];
if ($value === null) {
$result[$sourceColumn] = null;
} else if ($targetClass->containsForeignIdentifier) {
$result[$sourceColumn] = $newValId[$targetClass->getFieldForColumn($targetColumn)];
} else {
$result[$sourceColumn] = $newValId[$targetClass->fieldNames[$targetColumn]];
}
}
} elseif (isset($classMetadata->columnNames[$field])) {
$columnName = $classMetadata->columnNames[$field];
$result[$columnName] = $value;
}
}
return array($className, $result);
}
public function deserialize(Array $data)
{
list($class, $result) = $data;
$uow = $this->em->getUnitOfWork();
return $uow->createEntity($class, $result);
}
}

I've had the same problem, i also wanted to have to associated data in the array too. So i came up with the following:
$serializer = new Serializer($this->em); // Pass the EntityManager object
$array = $serializer->serialize($message); // Returns the array (with associations!)
Source:
<?php
/**
* Class Serializer
*
* @author Steffen Brem
*/
class Serializer
{
/**
* @var Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager
*/
private $_em;
/**
* Constructor
*
* @param \Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager $em
*/
public function __construct(\Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager $em)
{
$this->_em = $em;
}
/**
* Serialize entity to array
*
* @param $entityObject
* @return array
*/
public function serialize($entityObject)
{
$data = array();
$className = get_class($entityObject);
$metaData = $this->_em->getClassMetadata($className);
foreach ($metaData->fieldMappings as $field => $mapping)
{
$method = "get" . ucfirst($field);
$data[$field] = call_user_func(array($entityObject, $method));
}
foreach ($metaData->associationMappings as $field => $mapping)
{
// Sort of entity object
$object = $metaData->reflFields[$field]->getValue($entityObject);
$data[$field] = $this->serialize($object);
}
return $data;
}
}

I have
Product
entity with many-to-one toCategory
entity. I need storeProduct
in session. First of all i try to implement\Serializable
interface on Product. How should i serialize my relatedCategory
entity? Should i also implement\Serializable
interface?I read, that serialization in doctrine is very pain operation and i think about this:
Can we get raw values from entity? Exactly that data, which stored in database. If we can get this values, we can store it anywhere and recreate object!
I read doctrine2 code and find method
Doctrine\ORM\Internal\Hydration\ObjectHydrator:hydrateRowData
but it's protected. Is there any public api for doing this?Update:
I just copypaste and integrate some code from BasicEntityPersister and it seems to work.
$product = $productsRepository->find($id); if (!$product) { throw $this->createNotFoundException('No product found for id ' . $id); } $uow = $em->getUnitOfWork(); $entityPersister = $uow->getEntityPersister(get_class($product)); $classMetadata = $entityPersister->getClassMetadata(); $originalData = $uow->getOriginalEntityData($product); $result = array(); foreach ($originalData as $field => $value) { if (isset($classMetadata->associationMappings[$field])) { $assoc = $classMetadata->associationMappings[$field]; // Only owning side of x-1 associations can have a FK column. if ( ! $assoc['isOwningSide'] || ! ($assoc['type'] & \Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadata::TO_ONE)) { continue; } if ($value !== null) { $newValId = $uow->getEntityIdentifier($value); } $targetClass = $em->getClassMetadata($assoc['targetEntity']); $owningTable = $entityPersister->getOwningTable($field); foreach ($assoc['joinColumns'] as $joinColumn) { $sourceColumn = $joinColumn['name']; $targetColumn = $joinColumn['referencedColumnName']; if ($value === null) { $result[$owningTable][$sourceColumn] = null; } else if ($targetClass->containsForeignIdentifier) { $result[$owningTable][$sourceColumn] = $newValId[$targetClass->getFieldForColumn($targetColumn)]; } else { $result[$owningTable][$sourceColumn] = $newValId[$targetClass->fieldNames[$targetColumn]]; } } } elseif (isset($classMetadata->columnNames[$field])) { $columnName = $classMetadata->columnNames[$field]; $result[$entityPersister->getOwningTable($field)][$columnName] = $value; } } print_r($result);
In
$result
we have raw values. Now we need way how to create object by this array -
Nicolás Ozimica over 10 yearsThank you very much for your code. I can only say that you would (just before the recursion) test if
$object
is null, because there may be relations not fulfilled by any instance. -
crafter about 9 yearsThis worked for me, but I changed the line " $data[$field] = $this->serialize($object);" to "$data[$field] = new \Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection();" to avoid the problem "The class 'Doctrine\ORM\PersistentCollection' was not found in the chain configured namespaces"
