🎤 Speaker announcement
Please welcome Alexander M. Turek, CTO, SensioLabs Deutschland. Join us to catch the talk "final class Entity: Doctrine Mapping for Modern PHP".
"For fifteen years, Doctrine shaped the way we write entities, and not always for the better. Entities could not be final, because proxies had to extend them. Every field grew a getter and a setter. Domain concepts like money, addresses and identifiers ended up as strings and floats, because mapping anything richer was more trouble than it was worth.
None of that was a design decision. Those were workarounds for things PHP could not express yet.
It can now. Attributes, backed enums, property hooks, asymmetric visibility, native lazy objects, and an arbitrary-precision number object in core. Doctrine ORM 3.4 and DBAL 4.3 pick all of it up, and ORM 4 will be built on it.
We take one realistic entity, too many lines of accessors and primitives, and refactor it live on the slides: final classes, no setters, enums, typed identifiers, embedded value objects, custom DBAL types that register themselves. Same database schema at the end. No migration. Considerably less code."
