Injecting dependency into entity repository

Question

Is there a simple way to inject a dependency into every repository instance in Doctrine2 ?

I have tried listening to the loadClassMetadata event and usi

Answer 1

Problem is that repository classes are not part of the Symfony2 codebase as they are part of Doctrine2, so they do not take advantage of the DIC; this is why you can't go for injection in one place for all repositories.

I would advice you to use a different approach. For example you can create a service layer on top of the repositories and actually inject the class you want through a factory in that layer.

Otherwise you could also define repositories as services this way:

  entity_name
  entity_manager_name
  
      your_argument
  

A solution that could centralize the set method call is to write a DIC tag and a compiler pass to handle it and tag all repository services.
