Symfony2 Use Doctrine in Service Container

Question

How do I use Doctrine in a service container?

The Code just causes an error message \"Fatal error: Call to undefined method ...::get()\".

Since 2017 and Symfony 3.3 you can register Repository as service, with all its advantages it has.

Your code would change like this.

1. Service configuration

# app/config/services.yml
services:
    _defaults:
        autowire: true

    ...\Service\:
       resource: ...\Service

2. Create new class - custom repository:

use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManagerInterface;

class YourRepository
{ 
    private $repository;

    public function __construct(EntityManagerInterface $entityManager)
    {
        $this->repository = $entityManager->getRepository(YourEntity::class);
    }

    public function find($id)
    {
        return $this->repository->find($id);
    }
}

3. Use in any Controller or Service like this

class dsdsf
{ 
    private $yourRepository;

    public function __construct(YourRepository $yourRepository)
    {
        $this->yourRepository = $yourRepository;
    }

    public function create()
    {
        $id = 10;
        $this->yourRepository->find($id);
    }
}
