Autowiring for repository classes

[xorik]

The ORM bundle have a helper class to make repositoires autowired. The class is ServiceEntityRepository. Example is here.

It would be great, if ODM bundle have the same for the DocumentRepository class.

I think something like this should work:

use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\DocumentManager;
use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\DocumentRepository;

class ServiceDocumentRepository extends DocumentRepository
{
    public function __construct(DocumentManager $dm, string $documentClass)
    {
        parent::__construct($dm, $dm->getUnitOfWork(), $dm->getClassMetadata($documentClass));
    }
}

@michaelperrin is currently working on porting the solution from DoctrineBundle to this bundle: https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineMongoDBBundle/pull/441#issuecomment-348694857

I confirm I started working on it, and I should be able to open a PR this week.

[seqq]

Sorry ) No news about PR?

[michaelperrin]

@seqq I am sorry I am still working on it and it should be ready soon!

[seqq]

great to hear, thank you!

[xorik]

@seqq you can use my code, just put it in your namespace. It works perfectly

[malarzm]

@michaelperrin any news? :)

[michaelperrin]

@malarzm I am so sorry for the delay, life took over this ;) I could push a WIP PR if needed, which is a port of the ORM counterpart, but which is not finished yet. I keep you posted by the end of the week.

[malarzm]

@michaelperrin no worries at all! Please push the WIP, if you could highlight what is left to do maybe someone will be able to help :)

[michelepatrassi]

made it work following https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineMongoDBBundle/pull/448/files and the code of @xorik

[michaelperrin]

@malarzm Sorry again for the delay, here is the WIP PR: #449 . I hope to work on it again soon!

Is this related to the exception I'm getting:

Cannot autowire service "App\Repository\TestRepository": argument "$uow" of method "Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\DocumentRepository::__construct()" references class "Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\UnitOfWork" but no such service exists.

I'm using Symfony 4 with DoctrineMongoDBBundle and trying to set up a simple Document + RepositoryClass using annotations.

Is this related to the exception I'm getting

Yes. ODM repositories are not suited for autowiring (yet).
