README

1. Add the following to your composer.json file:

   // composer.json
   {
       // ...
       require: {
           // ...
           "cunningsoft/message-bundle": "0.1.*"
       }
   }

2. Run composer update cunningsoft/message-bundle to install the new dependencies.

3. Register the new bundle in your AppKernel.php:

   <?php
   // in AppKernel::registerBundles()
   $bundles = array(
       // ...
       new Cunningsoft\MessageBundle\CunningsoftMessageBundle(),
       // ...
   );

4. Let your user entity implement the Cunningsoft\MessageBundle\Entity\UserInterface:

   // Acme\ProjectBundle\Entity\User.php
   <?php
   
   namespace Acme\ProjectBundle\Entity;
   
   use Cunningsoft\MessageBundle\Entity\UserInterface as MessageUserInterface;
   
   class User implements MessageUserInterface
   {
       /**
        * @var int
        */
       protected $id;
   
       /**
        * @var string
        */
       protected $username;
   
       /**
        * @return int
        */
       public function getId()
       {
           return $this->id;
       }
   
       /**
        * @return string
        */
       public function getUsername()
       {
           return $this->username;
       }
       // ...

5. Map the interface to your user entity in your config.yml:

   // app/config/config.yml
   // ...
   doctrine:
       orm:
           resolve_target_entities:
               Cunningsoft\MessageBundle\Entity\UserInterface: Acme\ProjectBundle\Entity\User

6. Update your database schema:

   $ app/console doctrine:schema:update

7. Import routes:

   // app/config/routing.yml
   // ...
   cunningsoft_message_bundle:
       resource: "@CunningsoftMessageBundle/Controller"
       type: annotation

8. Link to the messages list:

   // src/Acme/ProjectBundle/Resources/views/Default/index.html.twig
   // ...
   <a href="{{ path('cunningsoft_message_list') }}">messages</a>
   // ...

9. Create a child bundle to fetch users

   mkdir src/Acme/MessageBundle
   

   // src/Acme/MessageBundle/AcmeMessageBundle.php
   <?php
   
   namespace Acme\MessageBundle;
   
   use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Bundle\Bundle;
   
   class AcmeMessageBundle extends Bundle
   {
       public function getParent()
       {
           return 'CunningsoftMessageBundle';
       }
   }

   // src/Acme/MessageBundle/Controller/MessageController.php
   <?php
   
   namespace Acme\MessageBundle\Controller;
   
   use Cunningsoft\MessageBundle\Controller\MessageController as BaseController;
   use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
   
   /**
    * @Route("/message")
    */
   class MessageController extends BaseController
   {
       public function findUser($id)
       {
           return $this->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager')->getRepository('AcmeProjectBundle:User')->find($id);
       }
   
       public function findAllUsers()
       {
           return $this->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager')->getRepository('AcmeProjectBundle:User')->findAll();
       }
   }
