I have a table for my categories, each category have and id, name and parent_id.
Select IF(a.parent_id IS NULL, a.name, CONCAT((SELECT b.name FROM category b WHERE b.id = a.parent_id), " / ", a.name) ) as n, a.id, a.parent_id
FROM category a
ORDER BY n
I want to convert it to my Doctrine2 Query Builder
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
$qb = $em->createQueryBuilder();
$q = $qb
->select("c.id")
->addSelect(
"IF(c.parent_id IS NULL, c.name, CONCAT((" .
$em->createQueryBuilder()
->select("t.name")
->from("MyBundle:Category", "t")
->getQuery()->getDQL() .
"), \" / \", c.name) )"
)
->from("MyBundle:Category", "c");
echo $q->getQuery()->getSQL();
exit;
Something like that, but I cant use the IF
, and CONCAT
.
Ok I found the solution.
You can use CASE
instead of IF
. Check this out, but when I am using CASE
I can't CONCAT
my fields:
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
$qb = $em->createQueryBuilder();
$q = $qb
->select("c.id")
->addSelect("CASE WHEN (c.parent IS NULL) THEN c.name ELSE 'something' END")
->from("MyBundle:Category", "c")
->leftJoin("c.parent", "t");
echo $q->getQuery()->getSQL();
Another Solution is create your own DQL function, like IF
and use it like this:
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
$qb = $em->createQueryBuilder();
$q = $qb
->select("c.id")
->addSelect("IF(c.parent IS NULL, c.name, CONCAT(CONCAT(t.name, ' / '), c.name))")
->from("MyBundle:Category", "c")
->leftJoin("c.parent", "t");
echo $q->getQuery()->getSQL();
For create this IF you can go to this link and learn: http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/reference/dql-doctrine-query-language.html#adding-your-own-functions-to-the-dql-language
I will post here my class for this IF and the config.yml to help other people.
Here is the IfFunction class (I got that from https://github.com/beberlei/DoctrineExtensions/blob/master/src/Query/Mysql/IfElse.php):
<?php
namespace MyName\MiscBundle\Doctrine\ORM\Query\AST\Functions;
use Doctrine\ORM\Query\AST\Functions\FunctionNode;
use Doctrine\ORM\Query\Lexer;
/**
* Usage: IF(expr1, expr2, expr3)
*
* If expr1 is TRUE (expr1 <> 0 and expr1 <> NULL) then IF() returns expr2;
* otherwise it returns expr3. IF() returns a numeric or string value,
* depending on the context in which it is used.
*

*/
class IfFunction extends FunctionNode
{
private $expr = array();
public function parse(\Doctrine\ORM\Query\Parser $parser)
{
$parser->match(Lexer::T_IDENTIFIER);
$parser->match(Lexer::T_OPEN_PARENTHESIS);
$this->expr[] = $parser->ConditionalExpression();
for ($i = 0; $i < 2; $i++)
{
$parser->match(Lexer::T_COMMA);
$this->expr[] = $parser->ArithmeticExpression();
}
$parser->match(Lexer::T_CLOSE_PARENTHESIS);
}
public function getSql(\Doctrine\ORM\Query\SqlWalker $sqlWalker)
{
return sprintf('IF(%s, %s, %s)',
$sqlWalker->walkConditionalExpression($this->expr[0]),
$sqlWalker->walkArithmeticPrimary($this->expr[1]),
$sqlWalker->walkArithmeticPrimary($this->expr[2]));
}
}
After that you need to update your config.yml like this (just added the last 3 lines):
doctrine:
dbal:
driver: "%database_driver%"
host: "%database_host%"
port: "%database_port%"
dbname: "%database_name%"
user: "%database_user%"
password: "%database_password%"
charset: UTF8
orm:
auto_generate_proxy_classes: "%kernel.debug%"
auto_mapping: true
dql: #ADDED THIS LINE
string_functions: #ADDED THIS LINE
IF: MyName\MiscBundle\Doctrine\ORM\Query\AST\Functions\IfFunction #ADDED THIS LINE
Thanks
You can also combine CASE
and CONCAT
:
$q = $this->createQueryBuilder('a')
->select('a.id')
->addSelect('CASE WHEN(a.parent IS NULL) THEN \'\' else CONCAT(:variable, a.name, \'string\') END as name')
->setParameter('variable', $variable)
... ;
Assuming you have a relation named "parent" in Category, does this work better? :
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
$qb = $em->createQueryBuilder();
$q = $qb
->select("c.id")
->addSelect("IF (c.parent_id IS NULL, c.name, CONCAT(t.name, ' / ', c.name))"
->from("MyBundle:Category", "c")
->leftJoin("c.parent t"));
echo $q->getQuery()->getSQL();
