If each environment requires a different MongoDB connection URI, you can define it as an environment variable and reference it in the bundle's config:

1# .env MONGODB_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017
2
1# config/packages/doctrine_mongodb.yaml doctrine_mongodb: connections: default: server: '%env(resolve:MONGODB_URL)%'

If you wish to use memcache to cache your metadata, you need to configure the Memcached instance; for example, you can do the following:

  • YAML
    1# app/config/config.yml doctrine_mongodb: default_database: hello_%kernel.environment% connections: default: server: mongodb://localhost:27017 options: {} document_managers: default: mappings: AcmeDemoBundle: ~ metadata_cache_driver: type: memcached class: Symfony\Component\Cache\Adapter\MemcachedAdapter host: localhost port: 11211 instance_class: Memcached

Mapping Configuration

Explicit definition of all the mapped documents is the only necessary configuration for the ODM and there are several configuration options that you can control. The following configuration options exist for a mapping:

  • type One of attribute, xml, php or staticphp. This specifies which type of metadata type your mapping uses.
  • dir Path to the mapping or document 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.project_dir%).
  • prefix A common namespace prefix that all documents of this mapping share. This prefix should never conflict with prefixes of other defined mappings otherwise some of your documents cannot be found by Doctrine. This option defaults to the bundle namespace + Document, for example for an application bundle called AcmeHelloBundle, the prefix would be Acme\HelloBundle\Document.
  • alias Doctrine offers a way to alias document namespaces to simpler, shorter names to be used in queries or for Repository access.
  • 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.

To avoid having to configure lots of information for your mappings you should follow these conventions:

  1. Put all your documents in a directory Document/ inside your project. For example src/Document/.
  2. If you are using xml or php mapping put all your configuration files into either the config/doctrine/ directory (requires Symfony 5.4 or later) or the Resources/config/doctrine/ directory suffixed with mongodb.xml, mongodb.yml or mongodb.php respectively.
  3. Attributes are assumed if a Document/ but no config/doctrine/ or Resources/config/doctrine/ directory is found.

The following configuration shows a bunch of mapping examples:

  • YAML
    1doctrine_mongodb: document_managers: default: mappings: MyBundle1: ~ MyBundle2: xml MyBundle3: { type: attribute, dir: Documents/ } MyBundle4: { type: xml, dir: Resources/config/doctrine/mapping } MyBundle5: type: xml dir: my-bundle-mappings-dir alias: BundleAlias doctrine_extensions: type: xml dir: "%kernel.project_dir%/src/vendor/DoctrineExtensions/lib/DoctrineExtensions/Documents" prefix: DoctrineExtensions\Documents\ alias: DExt

Custom Types

Custom types can come in handy when you're missing a specific mapping type or when you want to replace the existing implementation of a mapping type for your documents.

    1doctrine_mongodb: types: custom_type: Fully\Qualified\Class\Name

Filters

Filter classes may be used in order to add criteria to ODM queries, regardless of where those queries are created within your application. Typically, filters will limit themselves to operating on a particular class or interface. Filters may also take parameters, which can be used to customize the injected query criteria.

Filters may be registered with a document manager by using the following syntax:

  • YAML
    1doctrine_mongodb: document_managers: default: filters: basic_filter: class: Vendor\Filter\BasicFilter enabled: true complex_filter: class: Vendor\Filter\ComplexFilter enabled: false parameters: author: bob comments: { $gte: 10 } tags: { $in: [ 'foo', 'bar' ] }

Unlike ORM, query parameters in MongoDB ODM may be non-scalar values. Since such values are difficult to express in XML, the bundle allows JSON strings to be used in parameter tags. While processing the configuration, the bundle will run the tag contents through json_decode() if the string is wrapped in square brackets or curly braces for arrays and objects, respectively.

Multiple Connections

If you need multiple connections and document managers you can use the following syntax:

  • YAML
    1doctrine_mongodb: default_database: hello_%kernel.environment% default_connection: conn2 default_document_manager: dm2 connections: conn1: server: mongodb://localhost:27017 conn2: server: mongodb://localhost:27017 document_managers: dm1: connection: conn1 database: db1 metadata_cache_driver: array mappings: AcmeDemoBundle: ~ dm2: connection: conn2 database: db2 mappings: AcmeHelloBundle: ~

Now you can retrieve the configured services connection services:

1$conn1 = $container->get('doctrine_mongodb.odm.conn1_connection'); $conn2 = $container->get('doctrine_mongodb.odm.conn2_connection');
2

And you can also retrieve the configured document manager services which utilize the above connection services:

1$dm1 = $container->get('doctrine_mongodb.odm.dm1_document_manager'); $dm2 = $container->get('doctrine_mongodb.odm.dm2_document_manager');
2

Connecting to a pool of mongodb servers on 1 connection

It is possible to connect to several mongodb servers on one connection if you are using a replica set by listing all of the servers within the connection string as a comma separated list and using replicaSet option.

  • YAML
    1doctrine_mongodb: # ... connections: default: server: "mongodb://mongodb-01:27017,mongodb-02:27017,mongodb-03:27017/?replicaSet=replSetName"

Where mongodb-01, mongodb-02 and mongodb-03 are the machine hostnames. You can also use IP addresses if you prefer.

Please refer to Replica Sets manual of MongoDB PHP Driver for futher details.

Using Authentication on a Database Level

MongoDB supports authentication and authorisation on a database-level. This is mandatory if you have e.g. a publicly accessible MongoDB Server. To make use of this feature you need to configure credentials for each of your connections. Every connection needs also a database to authenticate against. The setting is represented by the authSourceconnection string. Otherwise you will get a auth failed exception.

  • YAML
    1doctrine_mongodb: # ... connections: default: server: "mongodb://localhost:27017" options: username: someuser password: somepass authSource: db_you_have_access_to

Specifying a context service

The MongoDB driver supports receiving a stream context to set SSL and logging options. This can be used to authenticate using SSL certificates. To do so, create a service that creates your logging context:

  • YAML
    1services: # ... app.mongodb.context_service: class: 'resource' factory: 'stream_context_create' arguments: - { ssl: { verify_expiry: true } }
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8

Note: the class option is not used when creating the service, but has to be provided for the service definition to be valid.

You can then use this service in your configuration:

  • YAML
    1doctrine_mongodb: # ... connections: default: server: "mongodb://localhost:27017" driver_options: context: "app.mongodb.context_service"
