Installation

Step 1: Download the Bundle

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

$ composer require delirehberi/import ">=1"

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the app/AppKernel.php file of your project:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...

            new Delirehberi\ImportBundle\DelirehberiImportBundle(),
        );

        // ...
    }

    // ...
}

Step 3: Configure your mapping

Open your config file (app/config/config.yml) and edit like this:

parameters:
  delirehberi_import:
    connection_key:
      database:
        driver: pdo_mysql
        user: root
        password: null
        dbname: old_database_name
        host: localhost
        port: ~
        charset: 'utf8'
      maps:
        news:
          entity: Acme\ContentBundle\Entity\Content
          old_data:
            service_id: my_project.data_service
            method: getOldData
          fields:
            old_id:
              type: integer
              name: ID
          ...
