is it possible to integrate in a doctrine query a if statement? - symfony

Question

I have so far 2 queries which are similar:
the first one I use when user is ROLE_REDAC
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('a');
$qb->LeftJoin('a.ArticlePhrases','ap')
->addSelect('ap')
->where(
$qb->expr()->andX(
$qb->expr()->eq('ap.order', '?1'),
$qb->expr()->eq('a.author', '?2')
)
)
->setParameters(//...
);
The second one when user is ROLE_ADMIN
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('a');
$qb->LeftJoin('a.ArticlePhrases','ap')
->addSelect('ap')
->where(
$qb->expr()->andX(
$qb->expr()->eq('ap.order', '?1')
)
)
->setParameters(...
));
There are not much difference. is it possible to call from the controller the same repository fonction and that this fonction adapt whether the actual user is ROLE_REDAC or ROLE_ADM? if yes how can I do that?

Answer 1

I haven't tested it, but should work
class MyCustomRepository extends EntityRepository
{
public function myCustomFunction($user_role)
{
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('a');
if ($user_role == 'ROLE_REDAC') {
$where_dql_expr = $qb->expr()->andX(
$qb->expr()->eq('ap.order', '?1'),
$qb->expr()->eq('a.author', '?2')
);
$qb->setParameters(//....);
}
else if ($user_role == 'ROLE_ADMIN') {
$where_dql_expr = $qb->expr()->andX(
$qb->expr()->eq('ap.order', '?1')
);
$qb->setParameters(//....);
}
$qb->LeftJoin('a.ArticlePhrases','ap')
->addSelect('ap')
->where($where_dql_expr)
->//and so on
}
}
of course into your controller you have to call it passing the right parameter
$role = //retrieve role
$custom_repo = $this->getDoctrine()
->getManager()
->getRepository('YourBundleName:MyCustomEntity');
$custom_repo->myCustomFunction($role);
