php-symfonyHow to create a model in PHP Symfony?

Creating a model in PHP Symfony is a simple process.

1. Create a new class in the src/Entity directory:

<?php

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\MyModelRepository")
 */
class MyModel
{
    // ...
}

2. Add the necessary fields and annotations to the class:

<?php

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\MyModelRepository")
 */
class MyModel
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id()
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue()
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=255)
     */
    private $name;

    // ...
}

3. Generate the getters and setters for the fields:

php bin/console make:entity --regenerate

4. Generate the database table for the model:

php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force

5. Use the model in your application.
