Using DoctrineBehaviors translatable in Symfony 4? - symfony

Question

I'm trying to use the DoctrineBehaviors translatable extension in Symfony 4.Just setup a test following the documentation example:
translatable entity:
<?php
namespace App\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Knp\DoctrineBehaviors\Model as ORMBehaviors;
/**
* #ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\FAQRepository")
*/
class FAQ
{
use ORMBehaviors\Translatable\Translatable;
/**
* #ORM\Id()
* #ORM\GeneratedValue()
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
*/
protected $id;
/.**
* #ORM\Column(type="datetime", nullable=true)
*/
protected $updatedAt;
public function getId(): ?int
{
return $this->id;
}
public function getUpdatedAt(): ?\DateTimeInterface
{
return $this->updatedAt;
}
public function setUpdatedAt(?\DateTimeInterface $updatedAt): self
{
$this->updatedAt = $updatedAt;
return $this;
}
}
translation entity:
<?php
namespace App\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Knp\DoctrineBehaviors\Model as ORMBehaviors;
/**
* #ORM\Entity
*/
class FAQTranslation
{
use ORMBehaviors\Translatable\Translation;
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="text")
*/
protected $question;
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="text")
*/
protected $answer;
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="integer", nullable=true)
*/
protected $category;
public function getQuestion(): ?string
{
return $this->question;
}
public function setQuestion(string $question): self
{
$this->question = $question;
return $this;
}
public function getAnswer(): ?string
{
return $this->answer;
}
public function setAnswer(string $answer): self
{
$this->answer = $answer;
return $this;
}
public function getCategory(): ?int
{
return $this->category;
}
public function setCategory(?int $category): self
{
$this->category = $category;
return $this;
}
}
Testing the translatable entity:
/**
* #Route("/test", name="test")
*/
public function testfaq()
{
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$faq = new FAQ();
$faq->translate('fr')->setQuestion('Quelle est la couleur ?');
$faq->translate('en')->setQuestion('What is the color ?');
$em->persist($faq);
$faq->mergeNewTranslations();
$em->flush();
return $this->render('app/test.html.twig', [
]);
}
A new ID is added in the faq table.
But nothing is persisted in the faqtranslation table.
Bundles.php :
Knp\DoctrineBehaviors\Bundle\DoctrineBehaviorsBundle::class => ['all' => true],
All the documentations I found seem to refer to Symfony 3 or even Symfony 2, is it possible to use DoctrineBehaviors translatable in Symfony 4 ?

Answer 1

I don't know if you found your answer since (I hope you did), but yes you can use KnpLabs/DoctrineBehaviors with Symfony 4. Maybe, you just needed to wait a little longer for an update.
