Persisting Symfony DateIntervalType in doctrine an

Question

This question is relative to The DateIntervalType field type introduced in Symfony 3.2. This field allows the user to select an interval of time in a form.

I would like to know its corresponding doctrine type and how to format it in twig as for example 2 hours and 30 minutes ?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The doctrine dbal (which is used by doctrine orm) supports dateinterval already. Here is the link: http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-dbal/en/latest/reference/types.html#dateinterval

Display a dateinterval with twig is really easy, just use the date filter which internally use the DateInterval::format method.
