Configuration Overview
This following configuration example shows all the configuration defaults that the ORM resolves to:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
doctrine:
orm:
auto_mapping: true
# the standard distribution overrides this to be true in debug, false otherwise
auto_generate_proxy_classes: false
proxy_namespace: Proxies
proxy_dir: "%kernel.cache_dir%/doctrine/orm/Proxies"
default_entity_manager: default
metadata_cache_driver: array
query_cache_driver: array
result_cache_driver: array
There are lots of other configuration options that you can use to overwrite certain classes, but those are for very advanced use-cases only.
Caching Drivers
For the caching drivers you can specify the values "array", "apc", "memcache", "memcached", "xcache" or "service".
The following example shows an overview of the caching configurations:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
doctrine:
orm:
auto_mapping: true
metadata_cache_driver: apc
query_cache_driver:
type: service
id: my_doctrine_common_cache_service
result_cache_driver:
type: memcache
host: localhost
port: 11211
instance_class: Memcache
Mapping Configuration
Explicit definition of all the mapped entities is the only necessary configuration for the ORM and there are several configuration options that you can control. The following configuration options exist for a mapping:
type
One of annotation
, xml
, yml
, php
or staticphp
. This specifies
which type of metadata type your mapping uses.
dir
Path to the mapping or entity files (depending on the driver). If this path
is relative it is assumed to be relative to the bundle root. This only works
if the name of your mapping is a bundle name. If you want to use this option
to specify absolute paths you should prefix the path with the kernel parameters
that exist in the DIC (for example %kernel.root_dir%
).
prefix
A common namespace prefix that all entities of this mapping share. This prefix
should never conflict with prefixes of other defined mappings otherwise some
of your entities cannot be found by Doctrine. This option defaults to the
bundle namespace + Entity
, for example for an application bundle called
AcmeHelloBundle prefix would be Acme\HelloBundle\Entity
.
alias
Doctrine offers a way to alias entity namespaces to simpler, shorter names to be used in DQL queries or for Repository access. When using a bundle the alias defaults to the bundle name.
is_bundle
This option is a derived value from dir
and by default is set to true
if dir is relative proved by a file_exists()
check that returns false
.
It is false
if the existence check returns true
. In this case an
absolute path was specified and the metadata files are most likely in a directory
outside of a bundle.
Doctrine DBAL Configuration
DoctrineBundle supports all parameters that default Doctrine drivers accept, converted to the XML or YAML naming standards that Symfony enforces. See the Doctrine DBAL documentation for more information. The following block shows all possible configuration keys:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27
doctrine:
dbal:
dbname: database
host: localhost
port: 1234
user: user
password: secret
driver: pdo_mysql
# the DBAL driverClass option
driver_class: MyNamespace\MyDriverImpl
# the DBAL driverOptions option
options:
foo: bar
path: "%kernel.data_dir%/data.sqlite"
memory: true
unix_socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
# the DBAL wrapperClass option
wrapper_class: MyDoctrineDbalConnectionWrapper
charset: UTF8
logging: "%kernel.debug%"
platform_service: MyOwnDatabasePlatformService
mapping_types:
enum: string
types:
custom: Acme\HelloBundle\MyCustomType
# the DBAL keepSlave option
keep_slave: false
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34

If you want to configure multiple connections in YAML, put them under the
connections
key and give them a unique name:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
doctrine:
dbal:
default_connection: default
connections:
default:
dbname: Symfony
user: root
password: null
host: localhost
customer:
dbname: customer
user: root
password: null
host: localhost
The database_connection
service always refers to the default connection,
which is the first one defined or the one configured via the
default_connection
parameter.
Each connection is also accessible via the doctrine.dbal.[name]_connection
service where [name]
is the name of the connection.
Shortened Configuration Syntax
When you are only using one entity manager, all config options available
can be placed directly under doctrine.orm
config level.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
doctrine:
orm:
# ...
query_cache_driver:

metadata_cache_driver:

result_cache_driver:

connection: ~
class_metadata_factory_name: Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataFactory
default_repository_class: Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository
auto_mapping: false
hydrators:

This shortened version is commonly used in other documentation sections. Keep in mind that you can't use both syntaxes at the same time.
