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

Since Symfony 3.3+ and 2017 you can make use of services.

Instead of other proposed solutions here that lead to:

• hacking the repository factory
• making service configuration in YAML
• and creating a lot of boilerplate code that will hunt you down later

You can do it...

Clean Way - Dependency via Constructor Injection like in any other Service

repository = $entityManager->getRepository(Post::class);

        $this->yourOwnDependency = $yourOwnDependency
    }
}
