<h1>Metadata Drivers<a class="headerlink" href="#metadata-drivers" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>The heart of an object mapper is the mapping information
that glues everything together. It instructs the DocumentManager how
it should behave when dealing with the different documents.</p>
<div class="section" id="core-metadata-drivers">
<h2>Core Metadata Drivers<a class="headerlink" href="#core-metadata-drivers" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Doctrine provides a few different ways for you to specify your
metadata:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><strong>XML files</strong> (XmlDriver)</li>
<li><strong>Class DocBlock Annotations</strong> (AnnotationDriver)</li>
<li><strong>YAML files</strong> (YamlDriver)</li>
<li><strong>PHP Code in files or static functions</strong> (PhpDriver)</li>
</ul>
<p>Something important to note about the above drivers is they are all
an intermediate step to the same end result. The mapping
information is populated to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\ClassMetadata</span></code>
instances. So in the end, Doctrine only ever has to work with the
API of the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ClassMetadata</span></code> class to get mapping information for
a document.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>The populated <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ClassMetadata</span></code> instances are also cached
so in a production environment the parsing and populating only ever
happens once. You can configure the metadata cache implementation
using the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">setMetadataCacheImpl()</span></code> method on the
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Configuration</span></code> class:</p>
<div class="last highlight-php"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="cp">&lt;?php</span>
<span class="nv">$em</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">getConfiguration</span><span class="p">()</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">setMetadataCacheImpl</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="k">new</span> <span class="nx">ApcCache</span><span class="p">());</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>If you want to use one of the included core metadata drivers you
just need to configure it. All the drivers are in the
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Driver</span></code> namespace:</p>
<div class="highlight-php"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="cp">&lt;?php</span>
<span class="nv">$driver</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">new</span> <span class="nx">\Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Driver\XmlDriver</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;/path/to/mapping/files&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="nv">$em</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">getConfiguration</span><span class="p">()</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">setMetadataDriverImpl</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$driver</span><span class="p">);</span>

<div class="section" id="implementing-metadata-drivers">
<h2>Implementing Metadata Drivers<a class="headerlink" href="#implementing-metadata-drivers" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>In addition to the included metadata drivers you can very easily
implement your own. All you need to do is define a class which
implements the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Driver</span></code> interface:</p>
<div class="highlight-php"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="cp">&lt;?php</span>
<span class="k">namespace</span> <span class="nx">Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Driver</span><span class="p">;</span>

<span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">isTransient</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$className</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If you want to write a metadata driver to parse information from
some file format we've made your life a little easier by providing
the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">AbstractFileDriver</span></code> implementation for you to extend from:</p>
<div class="highlight-php"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="cp">&lt;?php</span>
<span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">MyMetadataDriver</span> <span class="k">extends</span> <span class="nx">AbstractFileDriver</span>

<span class="sd">/**</span>

<span class="sd"> */</span>
<span class="k">protected</span> <span class="nv">$_fileExtension</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;.dcm.ext&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="sd">/**</span>
<span class="sd"> * {@inheritdoc}</span>
<span class="sd"> */</span>
<span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">loadMetadataForClass</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$className</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nx">ClassMetadataInfo</span> <span class="nv">$metadata</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">{</span>
<span class="nv">$data</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">_loadMappingFile</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$file</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="c1">// populate ClassMetadataInfo instance from $data</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="sd">/**</span>
<span class="sd"> * {@inheritdoc}</span>
<span class="sd"> */</span>
<span class="k">protected</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">_loadMappingFile</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$file</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">{</span>
<span class="c1">// parse contents of $file and return php data structure</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">When using the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">AbstractFileDriver</span></code> it requires that you
only have one document defined per file and the file named after the
class described inside where namespace separators are replaced by
periods. So if you have a document named <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Documents\User</span></code> and you
wanted to write a mapping file for your driver above you would need
to name the file <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Documents.User.dcm.ext</span></code> for it to be
recognized.</p>
</div>
<p>Now you can use your <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">MyMetadataDriver</span></code> implementation by setting
it with the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">setMetadataDriverImpl()</span></code> method:</p>
<div class="highlight-php"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="cp">&lt;?php</span>
<span class="nv">$driver</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">new</span> <span class="nx">MyMetadataDriver</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;/path/to/mapping/files&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="nv">$em</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">getConfiguration</span><span class="p">()</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">setMetadataDriverImpl</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$driver</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="classmetadata">
<h2>ClassMetadata<a class="headerlink" href="#classmetadata" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The last piece you need to know and understand about metadata in
Doctrine is the API of the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ClassMetadata</span></code> classes. You need to
be familiar with them in order to implement your own drivers but
more importantly to retrieve mapping information for a certain
document when needed.</p>
<p>You have all the methods you need to manually specify the mapping
information instead of using some mapping file to populate it from.
The base <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ClassMetadataInfo</span></code> class is responsible for only data
storage and is not meant for runtime use. It does not require that
the class actually exists yet so it is useful for describing some
document before it exists and using that information to generate for
example the documents themselves. The class <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ClassMetadata</span></code>
extends <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ClassMetadataInfo</span></code> and adds some functionality required
for runtime usage and requires that the PHP class is present and
can be autoloaded.</p>
<p>You can read more about the API of the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ClassMetadata</span></code> classes in
the PHP Mapping chapter.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="getting-classmetadata-instances">
<h2>Getting ClassMetadata Instances<a class="headerlink" href="#getting-classmetadata-instances" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>If you want to get the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ClassMetadata</span></code> instance for a document in
your project to programmatically use some mapping information to
generate some HTML or something similar you can retrieve it through
the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ClassMetadataFactory</span></code>:</p>
<div class="highlight-php"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="cp">&lt;?php</span>
<span class="nv">$cmf</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$em</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">getMetadataFactory</span><span class="p">();</span>
<span class="nv">$class</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$cmf</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">getMetadataFor</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;MyDocumentName&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Now you can learn about the document and use the data stored in the
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ClassMetadata</span></code> instance to get all mapped fields for example and
iterate over them:</p>
<div class="highlight-php"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="cp">&lt;?php</span>
<span class="k">foreach</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$class</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">fieldMappings</span> <span class="k">as</span> <span class="nv">$fieldMapping</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$fieldMapping</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;fieldName&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">.</span> <span class="s2">&quot;</span><span class="se">\n</span><span class="s2">&quot;</span><span class="p">;</span>
