This library ships with a Symfony bundle FidryAliceDataFixturesBundle.
Doctrine ORM
To use it with Doctrine do not forget to install doctrine/doctrine-bundle
and enable the DoctrineBundle (done by default in Symfony Standard Edition).
Then, enable the bundle by updating your app/AppKernel.php file to enable the bundle:
<?php
// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
$bundles = [
new Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle(),
// ...
new Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\DoctrineBundle(),
];
if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), ['dev', 'test'])) {
//...
$bundles[] = new Nelmio\Alice\Bridge\Symfony\NelmioAliceBundle();
$bundles[] = new Fidry\AliceDataFixtures\Bridge\Symfony\FidryAliceDataFixturesBundle();
}
return $bundles;
}
Doctrine ODM
To use it with Doctrine do not forget to install doctrine/mongodb-odm
and enable the DoctrineMongoDBBundle.
Then, enable the bundle by updating your app/AppKernel.php file to enable the bundle:
<?php
// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
$bundles = [
new Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle(),
// ...
new Doctrine\Bundle\MongoDBBundle\DoctrineMongoDBBundle(),
];
if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), ['dev', 'test'])) {
//...
$bundles[] = new Nelmio\Alice\Bridge\Symfony\NelmioAliceBundle();
$bundles[] = new Fidry\AliceDataFixtures\Bridge\Symfony\FidryAliceDataFixturesBundle();
}
return $bundles;
}
Doctrine PHPCR
To use it with Doctrine do not forget to install doctrine/doctrine-bundle
and enable the DoctrineBundle (done by default in Symfony Standard Edition)
and DoctrinePHPCRBundle (from doctrine/phpcr-odm)
Then, enable the bundle by updating your app/AppKernel.php file to enable the bundle:
<?php
// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
$bundles = [
new Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle(),
// ...
new Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\DoctrineBundle(),
new Doctrine\Bundle\PHPCRBundle\DoctrinePHPCRBundle(),
];
if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), ['dev', 'test'])) {
//...
$bundles[] = new Nelmio\Alice\Bridge\Symfony\NelmioAliceBundle();
$bundles[] = new Fidry\AliceDataFixtures\Bridge\Symfony\FidryAliceDataFixturesBundle();
}
return $bundles;
}
Eloquent ORM
To use it with Eloquent do not forget to install illuminate/database and
WouterJEloquentBundle (wouterj/eloquent-bundle).
Then, enable the bundle by updating your app/AppKernel.php file to enable the bundle:
<?php
// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
$bundles = [
new Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle(),
// ...
new WouterJ\EloquentBundle\WouterJEloquentBundle(),
];
if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), ['dev', 'test'])) {
//...
$bundles[] = new Nelmio\Alice\Bridge\Symfony\NelmioAliceBundle();
$bundles[] = new Fidry\AliceDataFixtures\Bridge\Symfony\FidryAliceDataFixturesBundle();
}
//...
if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), ['dev', 'test'])) {
//...
$bundles[] = new Fidry\AliceDataFixtures\Bridge\Symfony\FidryAliceDataFixturesBundle();
}
return $bundles;
