Extend Exisiting Entity to override getters and setters - symfony

Question

I want to override an existing Entity's getters and setters. Is it possible to do this?
I want to add additional logic to the getters and setters.
Thanks

Answer 1

for this you must make an entity that extend that entity you want to override
e.g
my base entity
abstract class AbstractEntity
{
/**
* #var integer
*
* #ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
protected $id;
/**
* #var \DateTime
*
* #ORM\Column(type="datetime")
* #Gedmo\Timestampable(on="create")
*/
protected $createdAt;
/**
* #var \DateTime
*
* #ORM\Column(type="datetime", nullable=true)
* #Gedmo\Timestampable(on="update")
*/
protected $updatedAt;
/**
* #return int
*/
public function getId()
{
return $this->id;
}
/**
* Set createdAt
*
* #param \DateTime $createdAt
*
*/
public function setCreatedAt($createdAt)
{
$this->createdAt = $createdAt;
}
/**`enter code here`
* Get created
*
* #return \DateTime
*/
public function getCreatedAt()
{
return $this->createdAt;
}
/**
* Set updatedAt
*
* #param \DateTime $updatedAt
*
*/
public function setUpdatedAt($updatedAt)
{
$this->updatedAt = $updatedAt;
}
/**
* Get updatedAt
*
* #return \DateTime
*/
public function getUpdatedAt()
{
return $this->updatedAt;
}
}
and then in my entity
class Group extends BaseEntity
{
public function __construct()
{
$this->children = [];
$this->users = [];
$this->accounts = [];
$this->isActive = true;
}
/**
* Set updatedAt
*
* #param \DateTime $updatedAt
*
*/
public function setCreatedAt($createdAt)
{
parent::setCreatedAt($createdAt); //
TODO: Override the implementation
}
}
hope it will help
