Get entity name from class object

Question

I have the following code:

namespace Acme\\StoreBundle\\Entity;

use Doctrine\\ORM\\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * Acme\\StoreBundle\\Entity\\User
 *
 * @ORM\\Tabl         


        

Answer 1

getClassMetadata() is deprecated and will be removed in the future. Use getMetadataFor() instead:

$entityName = $this->em->getMetadataFactory()->getMetadataFor(get_class($entity))->getName();

Or a complete function:

/**
 * Returns Doctrine entity name
 *
 * @param mixed $entity
 *
 * @return string
 * @throws \Exception
 */
private function getEntityName($entity)
{
    try {
        $entityName = $this->em->getMetadataFactory()->getMetadataFor(get_class($entity))->getName();
    } catch (MappingException $e) {
        throw new \Exception('Given object ' . get_class($entity) . ' is not a Doctrine Entity. ');
    }

    return $entityName;
}
