DoctrineMongoDBBundle ===================== The `MongoDB`_ Object Document Mapper (ODM) is much like the Doctrine2 ORM in its philosophy and how it works. In other words, like the `Doctrine2 ORM`_, with the Doctrine ODM, you deal only with plain PHP objects, which are then persisted transparently to and from MongoDB. .. tip:: You can read more about the Doctrine MongoDB ODM via the project's `documentation`_. The bundle integrates the Doctrine MongoDB ODM into Symfony, helping you to configure and use it in your application. .. note:: This documentation will feel a lot like the `Doctrine2 ORM chapter`_, which talks about how the Doctrine ORM can be used to persist data to relational databases (e.g. MySQL). This is on purpose - whether you persist to a relational database via the ORM or to MongoDB via the ODM, the philosophies are very much the same. .. toctree:: installation config first_steps form_validation security_bundle messenger events console cookbook/registration_form Doctrine Extensions: Timestampable, Sluggable, etc. --------------------------------------------------- Doctrine is quite flexible, and a number of third-party extensions are available that allow you to perform repeated and common tasks on your entities. These include things such as *Sluggable*, *Timestampable*, *Loggable*, *Translatable*, and *Tree*. For more information about them, see `available Doctrine extensions`_ and use the `StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle`_ to integrate them in your application. .. _`MongoDB`: https://www.mongodb.com .. _`Doctrine2 ORM`: https://symfony.com/doc/current/book/doctrine.html .. _`documentation`: https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-mongodb-odm/en/latest/ .. _`Doctrine2 ORM chapter`: https://symfony.com/doc/current/book/doctrine.html .. _`available Doctrine extensions`: https://github.com/Atlantic18/DoctrineExtensions .. _`StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle`: https://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle/index.html
