Access custom types in Mappings

[Cătălin Buletin]

Hello,

I am trying to use uuid as primary keys in my database so i tried adding some custom types

Here is part of my doctrine config file:

  'mapping_types' => [
         'binary' => 'uuid_binary'
  ],
 
  ....
 
 'custom_types'               => [
     'json' => LaravelDoctrine\ORM\Types\Json::class,
     'uuid' => Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidType::class,
     'uuid_binary' => Ramsey\Uuid\Doctrine\UuidBinaryType::class,
 ],

In the Mapping I can't seem to be able to use either:

$builder->uuid('id')->primary();
$builder->uuid_binary('id')->primary();

this will result in

[InvalidArgumentException]
Fluent builder method [uuid] does not exist

[InvalidArgumentException]
Fluent builder method [uuid_binary] does not exist

Is it something i missed?

Thanks for your help!

Hi @catalinbuletin!
Custom types are not exposed through new magic methods. They can be used by giving the builder a reference of the new type as so:

$builder->field("uuid_binary", "id")->primary();
