[Symfony bundle configuration] different name and value for the persistence #14

Open liuggio opened 11 years ago

Should be better decouple the value of the state from its name, the value could have different type from the name eg number.

eg:

      draft:
          type:       initial
          value: 100    # this is the value that will be stored into the db
          properties:
              deletable: true
              editable: true
      enabled:
          type:       initial
          value: 200   # this is the value that will be stored into the db
          properties:
              printable: true
              editable: true

The name could advantage the readability, instead the value could be a number. This could be very good for legacy Classes that have unreadable state code.

Big :+1: for this, as I perfectly know this use case, in legacy classes too.

Do you want to work on the implementation ?
