php-symfonyHow to create a PHP Symfony entity?

Creating a PHP Symfony entity is a simple process.

First, create a new entity class in the src/Entity directory:

<?php

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

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

    // ...
}

Next, generate the getters and setters for the entity:

php bin/console make:entity --regenerate

This will generate the getters and setters for the entity, allowing you to access and modify the entity's properties.

Finally, update the database schema to reflect the changes:

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

This will update the database schema to reflect the changes made to the entity.
