Doctrine custom type always altering table

Question

I have added a custom type like:

namespace My\\SuperBundle\\Types;

use Doctrine\\DBAL\\Types\\Type;
use Doctrine\\DBAL\\Platforms\\AbstractPlatform;

class Mo         


        

Answer 1

You have to override the method requiresSQLCommentHint(AbstractPlatform $platform) and return true. Like that, doctrine will remember the custom type.

namespace My\SuperBundle\Types;

use Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type;
use Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\AbstractPlatform;

class Money extends Type
{
    const MONEY = 'money';

    public function getSqlDeclaration(
        array $fieldDeclaration,
        AbstractPlatform $platform
    ) {
        return 'DECIMAL(10,2)';
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return self::MONEY;
    }

    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function requiresSQLCommentHint(AbstractPlatform $platform)
    {
        return true;
    }
}
