I have a preUpdate listener in my app. When it is fired I want it to create some additional records. A simplified example of the basic functionality is below. In this current implementation it would appear that the new events are not being persisted. Are there other calls I need to be making here? Thanks.
public function preUpdate(Event\LifecycleEventArgs $eventArgs)
{
$em = $eventArgs->getEntityManager();
$uow = $em->getUnitOfWork();
$entity = $eventArgs->getEntity();
$updateArray = $eventArgs->getEntityChangeSet();
//Updates
if (($entity instanceof Bam) === false) {
$thing = new OtherThing();
$thing->setFoo('bar');
$uow->persist($thing);
}
$uow->computeChangeSets();
}
The key is to persist them after the flush:
<?php
namespace Comakai\CQZBundle\Handler;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;
use Doctrine\Common\EventSubscriber;
use Doctrine\ORM\Event;
/**
*
*/
class YourHandler implements EventSubscriber
{
protected $things = [];
public function getSubscribedEvents()
{
/**
* @todo Check if this is running in the console or what...
*/
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
return [
'preUpdate',
'postFlush'
];
}
return [];
}
public function preUpdate(Event\LifecycleEventArgs $eventArgs)
{
$em = $eventArgs->getEntityManager();
$uow = $em->getUnitOfWork();
$entity = $eventArgs->getEntity();
$updateArray = $eventArgs->getEntityChangeSet();
//Updates
if (($entity instanceof Bam) === false) {
$thing = new OtherThing();
$thing->setFoo('bar');
$this->things[] = $thing;
}
}
public function postFlush(Event\PostFlushEventArgs $event)
{
if(!empty($this->things)) {
$em = $event->getEntityManager();
foreach ($this->things as $thing) {
$em->persist($thing);
}
$this->things = [];
$em->flush();
}
}
}
