I'm unable to find how to update embedded documents with Doctrine Mongo ODM in Symfony2. I have a class called Page with many embedded documents "Comments" and I want to use createQueryBuilder to update specific comment. Here is a simple class that I have:
class Page
{
protected $id;
/** @MongoDB\EmbedMany */
private $pageComment = array();
}
I searched the whole internet, but I don't see to find any info on how to update subdocuments of a document with Doctrine ODM query builder. I will be thankful for any information as I'm new to both Doctrine and Mongo. In simple words I want to update specific comment in a page after searching for it by id.
Thanks in advance for your help!
If you wan to use queryBuilder use this
$dm->createQueryBuilder('Page')
->update()
->field('page.pageComment')->set( <$newupdatePageCommentObj> )
->field('id')->equals('<matchedId>')
->getQuery()
->execute();
Or When you generate setters and getters for a EmbedMany member variable it will generate add and remove member functions inside your class. so in your case these will be member functions:
public function addPageComment(type_hint_with_your_pageComment_document $pageComment )
{
$this->pageComment[] = $pageComment;
}
public function removePageComment( type_hint_with_your_pageComment_document $pageComment )
{
$this->items->removeElement( $pageComment );
}
So you can use addPageComment() function which will add it if does not exists and will update it will its already there.
$yourArrayPageComment = array(
"id" => new \MongoId($pageCommentId),
"field1" => $field1,
...
)
$this->createQueryBuilder('page')
->update()
->field('id')->equals($pageId)
->field('pageComment.id')->equals($pageCommentId)
->field("pageComment.$")->set($yourArrayPageComment)
->getQuery()
->execute();
