Sortable behavior will maintain a position field for ordering entities.
Features:
- Automatic handling of position index
- Group entity ordering by one or more fields
- Can be nested with other behaviors
- Annotation, Attribute and Xml mapping support for extensions
Contents:
Read the documentation or check the example code on how to setup and use the extensions in most optimized way.
- SortableGroup - used to specify property for grouping
- SortablePosition - used to specify property to store position index
SortableGroup | SortablePosition | |
---|---|---|
Annotations | @Gedmo\Mapping\Annotation\SortableGroup |
@Gedmo\Mapping\Annotation\SortablePosition |
Attributes | #[Gedmo\Mapping\Annotation\SortableGroup] |
#[Gedmo\Mapping\Annotation\SortablePosition] |
Xml | <gedmo:sortable-group /> |
<gedmo:sortable-position /> |
Implementing Sortable interface is optional, except in cases there you need to identify entity as being Sortable. The metadata is loaded only once then cache is activated.
You should register SortableRepository (or a subclass) as the repository in the Entity annotation to benefit from its query methods.
<?php
namespace Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Gedmo\Mapping\Annotation as Gedmo;
/**
* @ORM\Table(name="items")

*/
class Item
{
/** @ORM\Id @ORM\GeneratedValue @ORM\Column(type="integer") */

If you want to use a foreign key / relation as sortable group, you have to put @Gedmo\SortableGroup annotation on ManyToOne annotation:
/**
* @Gedmo\SortableGroup
* @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Item", inversedBy="children")
* @ORM\JoinColumn(name="parent_id", referencedColumnName="id", onDelete="SET NULL")
*/
private $parent;
To move an item at the end of the list, you can set the position to -1
:
$item2->setPosition(-1);
Sortable works by comparing objects in the same group to see how they should be positioned. From time to time you may want to customize the way these objects are compared by simply implementing the Doctrine\Common\Comparable interface
<?php
namespace Entity;
use Doctrine\Common\Comparable;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* @ORM\Table(name="items")
* @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="Gedmo\Sortable\Entity\Repository\SortableRepository")
*/
class Item implements Comparable
{
public function compareTo($other)
{
// return 1 if this object is considered greater than the compare value
// return -1 if this object is considered less than the compare value
// return 0 if this object is considered equal to the compare value
}
}
