Hello,
I've been searching this information for a couple of hour, and as it's now well documented, i publish solution to prevent other people losing to much time for same need.
Mongodb odm in a symfony 5 project.
How to annotate type in Document class for allowing array to be correctly interpreted and correctly converted to json in the mongo database?
https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-mongodb-odm/en/2.1/reference/basic-mapping.html
We see as basic mapping types:
I've arrays to set with odm, to be converted in json.
Tried string, json_encoded string, raw... Nothing were ok, always converted to a string in mongo, so impossible to find on the array values in mongo: useless.
From the document site, nothing else about arrays, only customs types.
After a couple of hour of searching and trying, there 2 other types useful in that purpose: collection and hash types:
/**
* @MongoDB\Field(type="hash")
*/
protected $vmdata;
public function getVmdata() {
return $this->vmdata;
}
public function setVmdata($vmdata) {
$this->vmdata = $vmdata;
return;
}
Now, when i set:
$template->setVmdata($vmdata);
$vmdata being a php associative array, now it's correctly converted to a good json content rightly inserted in mongo.
Hope it helps friends, see you!
