Doctrine 2.0 - Entities/Models - Naming and Autoloading

[jsuggs]

How are people naming their entities/models when using Doctrine 2?  Just for argument/discussion sake, assume the namespace is App.

Can/should I go ahead and namespace them (does that even make sense in this context)?

<?php
namespace App\Model;

// @Entity
class Test
{
  //@Column
  $col;
}

or are you just using the standard?

<?php
// @Entity
class App_Model_Test
{
  //@Column
  $col;
}

They should be namespaced IMO.

Also, the example given here uses namespaces:
http://www.doctrine-project.org/blog/doctrine-2-give-me-my-constructor-back

[Loïc Frering]

The problem is that Zend_Loader_Autoloader_Resource and, as a consequence, Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader does not support PHP5.3 namespaces for now.

There is an issue related to this problem in ZF Jira: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-8205 (vote for it ;) )

In the meantime, you should use old fashion namespaces with underscores or extend Zend_Loader_Autoloader_Resource to make it support PHP5.3 namespaces (see the proposed patches in Jira issue). The last solution allows to use Doctrine convert mapping tool as it would not let generate a class named Application_Model_User in a file named User.php from an XML or YAML mapping file.

Regards.

the SPL Autloader implementation allows registering multiple autoloaders

at the same time, i.e. why not use a Doctrine\Common\ClassLoader for the

entities when they are namespaced and use Zend_Loader_Autoloader for

the Zend stuff only?



You are free to choose what combination of autoloaders you want :)

That's an other solution but, correct me if I'm wrong, it would not allow to follow ZF directories structure recommendations because an Entity Application\Model\User would be looked into Application/Model/User.php in the include_path by Doctrine ClassLoader.

The purpose of Zend_Loader_Autoloader_Resource is to let you automatically load resources (model classes, services and whatever you want) from your application directory according to a certain namespace.

I note that this Stackoverflow answer seems to agree with Ben Eberlei.

But I am seeing the same as Loïc Frering.

I would like a class named `Application\Model\User` to be stored in the file `application/models/User.php`.

The Zend resource autoloader does precisely this.

The Doctrine `ClassLoader` seems to want that class to be in the file `application/Application/Model/User.php.`

Anyone have an explanation or alternative approach?

[Loïc Frering]

You should extract the ResourceLoader from ZF2 to have PHP5.3 namespaces
support:

The Symfony Universal Autoloader works nicely in this case:

You could also use any of the autoloaders from ZF2 or the backported
ones I blogged a week or two ago. :)
